A Spielberg comeback

Rating: 6/10 (10 May 2019)

Ready Player One is one movie that doesn't fall short of recapturing that old school 80's
nostalgia. Bringing back pop-culture references from the 1980's and 1990's. The many story
changes from the book to the big screen doesn't completely ruin this film. Even though this film
is set in the far away future, this film will remind you of today's world. In a society where
technology is used to mirror out the flaws in society. Me personally I wasn't too excited about
the trailer, the most interesting thing about it was the musical choices used in the trailer that was
also used in the film. Combing current music with some of the best songs released in the 90's
and 80's. Luckily the late decades nostalgia doesn't over power the whole film altogether. The
film has really unexpected turns that you wouldn't expect in a film like ready player one.
Considering the Steven Spielberg has had some controversial topics in his past films. All of his
past films have been stories have had a focus around realistic dramas and character stories.
But I'm assuming that most of the hate for this film comes from the fact that the film doesn't
follow the book exactly as expected. But this should be expected considering that the book is
400 pages full of pop culture references, some changes and cuts would've had to happen to
make it on the big screen. Even with the differences it was still a great film to watch and it
seems the film had some improvement from the book. Nevertheless this film is a blast, with the
combination of reality and cgi into an exciting adventure. Only one-third of the movies is shot in
reality. Believe it or not that's a really hard thing to pull off, it seems like the movies didn't even
have trouble pulling this off. If possible this film could be watched in the comfort of your home
with a virtual reality device. hours of unexpected, edge of the seat fun!
