Story guys?

Rating: 5/10 (9 September 2018)

Movie night with Iris. Spielberg's Ready Player One nerdfest. It is so full of pop culture references, that it does eventually sag under the weight of its own nostalgia. There are some joys - the 80s pop, Atari games, the Iron Giant; and a fairground ride through The Shining.
So you have 2-3 breathtaking set pieces, but not a lot to join it all together. The satirical stabs don't really land. Indeed Spielberg pulls his punches whenever the storytelling becomes too disturbing.
