Had to be different than the book, but very good.

Rating: 8/10 (8 April 2018)

I enjoyed the the book very much. I listened to the audible book twice. I grew up in the 80s. I would have liked the movie to be more like the book. However I realize to do that would have required a three hour or more movie and it would have lost a lot of its mass market appeal. Before seeing the movie I wondered how they could pull off scenes of characters playing old low res video games such as Joust. I think it's best this kind of thing was minimal in the movie.
The action scenes were very well done. The acting was excellent. I like the diverse cast.
