Classic Spielberg

Rating: 8/10 (9 July 2018)

A world within a world. Haven't we seen that somewhere from Christopher Nolan or even Disney's Wreck it Ralph? It may not be an original idea on the surface but the execution of it is very original. Packed to the rafters with nostalgic cameos for viewers of varying age groups. The creator of a virtual world leaves behind in the event of his death an Easter egg hidden within his digital world that contains the rights to the hosting company lock stock and barrel. Users of this world have competed with each other and a corporation to discover the whereabouts of these hidden secrets and the pot of gold that awaits to become the owner of the worlds largest company. In a battle of morals versus corporate greed Spielberg is at his very best with lavish special effects that conversely are clearly CGI effects rather than striving to hide the seem between reality and computer generated. Star to finish it keeps up the level of entertainment without really dropping. Take a bow Mr Spielberg.
