Review of Ready Player One (2018) by Ian R — 07 Apr 2018
I read the book and was excited to see the movie - I wasn't disappointed. I didn't really know what to expect . . . Tron? Avatar? The $100M+ budget & Spielberg created high anticipation and set my expectations fairly high.
It was kitchy in some places: the Shining redux for one. But unlike the detractors focused on fidelity to the story or screenwriting I think this movie raised the standard for integration of Virtual Reality with cinema.
It was a little clunky in some places - there's a lot to work out. But I was really impressed by the effort and results. AMAZING visual effects - reminded me of the experience of watching Star Wars in 1977.
AMAZING sound editing. EFFECTIVE story telling. What's not to love? This will be remembered as a break-through movie. Innovative and entertaining.
