98% nothing to do with the book. Conceptual relationship at best.

Rating: 3/10 (1 April 2018)

This movie ripped the guts out of what made the book special. The realization of making a movie that is both live action and VR was executed well. However I DO NOT understand how Ernst Cline would allow them to butcher his story so horribly.
Casting was on point and saved this from being hot garbage.
If you never read the book, you will enjoy the show but still feel rushed. This EPIC journey turns into a fast frantic pace that makes ZERO sense besides to push to the end of the movie.
