Great movie for when a group can't decide on what to watch.

Rating: 7/10 (23 February 2020)

Ready Player One is a great film to watch in a group setting. Easy to follow, interesting story, not too many characters, modern, a crowd pleaser. I can imagine most camps enjoying or at least liking this film, apart from intense critic snobs who would ride this film off as predictable, average villains, and cliched, all true I would argue. But sometimes its nice to watch a crowd pleasing film, where you don't have to think very hard, the visuals are pleasing and you know the good guys will win. We're not always in the mood for dark, deep thinking, serious movies. This film seems quite likely considering I was helping children recently develop their own avatars. Interesting ethical dilemmas of actions in RPG's having real world consequences of people actually dying. All things we must be ready for in the not to distant future. Great film if you're needing to watch a movie in the evening with a big group and you've spent almost an hour scrolling through Netflix deciding what everyone feels like watching.
