Visually Stunning

Rating: 7/10 (28 October 2018)

Here's my late review of Ready Player One.
Ready Player One is Steven Spielberg's newest movie he directed. As you've read on my original post, I went into the movie blind so I didn't wait for any of the scenes I've seen in the trailers or pictures. I enjoyed the movie. The characters were good, the music choices were great, loved the references, and the visual effects were amazing. I don't think any other movie for the rest of the year will be able to top it. Spielberg is always great at directing, so naturally this was a good movie. There were a few flaws, however. There were some characters that you were supposed to feel for, but I didn't feel any bond with them, really. The main antagonist was weak in my opinion. He was just a guy that's the head of a business and wants something that everyone else wants and he will stop at nothing to let anyone get it. It was too typical. Some scenes were way too long, dragged on, or unnecessary. The movie was 2hrs 20 min long which could've been shortened down just a little. Although the visuals were amazing, there were only a few times where I felt it took away from the movie. Other than those parts, I thought it was good. Spielberg did a great job taking people to the world of the OASIS, and I look forward to seeing it again.
My Grade: B+
