No Masterpiece, but fun trip down memory lane.

Rating: 7/10 (2 August 2018)

Spielberg provides a film that marries 80s pop culture nostalgia with a VR gamer's delight. Set in the dystopian future, the movie is half real world and half computer generated (sadly, not quite up to par for 2018 technology). The legendary director weaves a coming of age tale that has the underdog battle the corporate Big Boss.
The story itself does not waiver too much in terms of overall story arc, nor does it have much of a twist. However, there is enough here to keep gamers and children of the 80s & 90s entertained, and manages to do it PG13.
Is Spielberg back on top after this performance? Not quite, but its barrels of fun and a shift back to form from the visionary that created JAWS, ET, and Jurassic Park.
