Visual spectacle and a great movie

Rating: 9/10 (18 May 2018)

Oh come on screw you haters and all those complaining about the movie not being the same as the book. Do you guys make the same complaints for Marvel movies or other book adaptations not being accurate to their respective comics/books? Jheez guys. Enjoy the movie for what it is.
Ok so I haven't read the book but I don't care having not read it. The movie was amazing with spectacular visuals, great storyline and gripping action scenes. The movie depicts a not so distant and plausible future of gaming in VR/AR, which also touches upon the realities of the gaming culture, including its advantages and drawbacks. Not only did the movie deliver on its acting performances, but it also keeps the audience engaged throughout. Comparing every scene of the movie to the accuracy of the book isn't prudent and unfair to those who haven't read the books and simply went to watch the movie.
I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. I was also surprised that despite the fact that there weren't any very famous actors, the young newbies did a great job. Steven Spielberg has yet again made a good thought provoking movie that is enjoyable for all age groups (kids and adults alike). I'd happily see it multiple times and I already have.
