A lot better than I expected

Rating: 10/10 (29 March 2018)

To be honest, if I didn't have Moviepass, I probably wouldn't have seen this in the theater, but I'm so glad I did.
Spielberg has recaptured the old magic he had with films like Jurassic Park and Raiders of the Lost Ark. This movie is straight-up fun. The entire virtual world in this film looks great, is inventive, and feels fully realized. (Heck the real-world dystopian future also looks pretty nice.) It's also a lot funnier than I expected too.
Yes, a few parts are rushed, some parts of the future world leave you asking questions, and a coupld of supporting characters are introduced too quickly and weakly, but ultimately these are minor issues compared to the strength of the film.
I highly recommend this.
