Reviews

Rodney Wollam: There's a moment in this movie when the central character says "I love her". His friend hastily replies, "Slow down bro… she could be a 300 lb man living in his mom's basement." In the very brief beat between the two lines, I thought FINALLY a movie about falling in love completely independent of …

izgzhen: I watched this movie because I was once working in the VR industry and really curious what it could tell us (even though I am not really interested after watching the trailer).

Anyway, the experience is not bad (in 4DX). But not recommended for a second watch since there is little to dig and feel…

crackerboi: Another great movie from Steven Spielberg

lasse: Obviously everything from the book cannot go into the movie, however a lot of what got into the movie was not from the book. Too much focus on car chases and too little on solving a puzzle.

If you haven't read the book, read the book! it's much more awesome!

Gimly: Can you imagine watching this if you didn't give a fuck about the '80s? Like there's nothing that happens in _Ready Player One_ that isn't a reference to **something** at least, but almost all of them are '80s references. I mean I worship at the altar of 1980s' references on a daily basis, and even …

Per Gunnar Jonsson: I did not know what I would really think about it when I started to watch this movie. I hoped that I would like it but I was not sure what I would actually get. I used to like Steven Spielberg a lot but later in his career he’s done movies that either was not my kind of movies or that I was simply n…

moovies: "Wild trip down memory lane… in a DeLorean"

In 2045 people escape their harsh reality by going to a virtual world called the OASIS. After the creator dies, he challenges all users to go on a hunt for an Easter egg which gives them control over the OASIS.

'Ready Player One' isn’t a movie you’…

jw: ### failing the splits

On one hand, this is a 1980s pop culture SciFi mash-up.
On the other, it is a 100% true-and-tested formulaic David-vs-Goliath, by the (Campbell) books youth adventure.

There are movies which can be enjoyed by young, older, and old; some even achieve that effortlessly.
…

clumsy_fool420: So I loved the movie very action packed and interesting in design. Now I do have to agree that most of the book of solving the puzzles and that would have been enjoyable to see but might have made the movie more boring. The action kept my family entertained. And the Easter eggs and music was it for …

GenerationofSwine: Wait, I didn't review this yet? How did I forget?

What we have here is honest Nostalgia Candy, not the forced rebranding rebooting and reimaging that we are seeing in Hollywood today. It doesn't rely on a familiar brand to sell tickets to a movie that has nothing to do with the brand and really, …

The Movie Mob: **Ready Player One is the pinnacle of video game films with extremely high replay value!**

Ready Player One puts Steven Spielberg right in his sweet spot with a nostalgic adventure love letter to movie fans, 80s kids, and gaming enthusiasts. This movie drips with Easter eggs to all kinds of pop c…

James: Call me when the script is finished.

tmdb51616167: The film "Ready Player One" offers a nostalgic journey with a fresh twist, set within a video game database where audiences embark on an exhilarating adventure to solve puzzles and unravel mysteries in a virtual reality world. This unique take on gaming stands out from the usual character reenactmen…
