A masterpiece that does the gaming community right.

Rating: 10/10 (7 April 2018)

First off let me start by saying i never read the books but i intend to so you should view this review from the aspect of a movie and not judge it because i didnt read the book and i will talk more about what the movie meant rather than the movie itself. When we start the movie we are introduced with the main character and the OASIS a brainchild of so called James Halliday and his partner Ogden Morrow . Furthemore we get an explanation of what OASIS actually is and what are all the possibilites that come with it . Later on we see that the main character explains why he actually likes the OASIS more than the real world and that is because he was dealt the "shitty cards in life" and i think we can all actually agree on that. Gaming has never been viewed positively in the real world , where people who liked to play games all day rather than going outside were ostracized and they still are to this day , called cave trolls or other such derogative names but they failed to understand what gaming means to people or just games in general and i would like to explain what the movie actually wanted to potray . As James Halliday says in the movie that he never understood real life , that he was always better connecting with people within the online world which in a way i think we all understand . Real life is hard to live in which why often we retreat into our own world of video games. Many people fail to understand that and just say that u like playing videogames and avoiding real life responsibilities which believe me is not true. Many of us myself included function better in the online world where we feel like home , where we can express ourself and not fear being shunned upon . Who cares what people think? If you are only happy when you are online and you are gaming with your squad then i say more power to you ; that is what this movie is trying to portray. The movie is littered with easter eggs that will make any gamer happy and an easter egg from our childhood which will probably make you cry again. Those other people who think they are cool by getting drunk , getting high and going to clubs will never understand what it feels like to be part of a community bigger than yourself where each person is willing to help one another even if they get nothing from it but just a simple thank you. Do not let them take that away , do not let yourself get thinking that you are lesser just because you like playing video games more than going out or as i said previously getting drunk. You may not be popular or good looking but here in the online world you are one of us . This movie accurately describes how it feels in an online world. Definitely one to watch which will appeal more to gamers than any other group out there . 11/10.
First to the key. First to the egg!
