From someone who hasn't read the book

Rating: 10/10 (27 April 2018)

It seems a lot of ratings on here come from disappointed fans of the book, I however went into this film knowing nothing about it and with very little expectations after watching the trailer. If you haven't read the book and want to watch an amazing, mind-blowing and funny film with lots of 80s/90s throwbacks I'm sure you'll love it too! The storyline was simple to follow and was very action packed from start to finish, flicking between the 'real' world and the 'virtual' world, reminded me a little of Avatar as it takes you to a completely different place whilst your watching it. All in all a brilliant film, may get forgotten about due to coming out at a similar time to 'infinity war', but don't let the disappointed book critics put you off, as a film is a 10/10.
