Too many flaws and illogical issues

Rating: 1/10 (4 November 2018)

The movie is action packed and has some good graphics, but the script is terrible. I won't even bother explaining all the flaws in the script but there are some serious logical errors which can not be over looked.
I found the character development all wrong also. The main character Wade gives up his real name in a game where the rule among players is never to give up your real name. He is supposed to be this loner player who has been playing the game for a long time, lost his parents to the game, but he slips from his hard nosed personality and then gives up his name because the writers can't think of another way to move the movie forward.
The movie has a bunch of references to old school video games and it was predictable to know that of all the Atari games, the one that would be the special game to player was Adventure. My family disliked me speaking about all the old references but I couldn't help myself as I saw them pop up. "Oh that was from the movie Krull" or "Oh that is from a game called..."
Sigh. For action, the movie was good but I disliked everything else. The direction, the writing, the character development and the ending was forced. There was no fluidity to the movie. Everything happens because it needs to happen because the writers can write any original ideas.
Maybe the book was better.
