A visual blast

Rating: 9/10 (30 March 2018)

In the early 2000s Steven Speilberg made 2 future dystopia movies. A. I. Artificial Intelligence and Minority Report that to be fair left auidences cold. However his return to the sub genre is unlikely to suffer the same fate. From when the first bars of Jump by Van Halen plays we get an adventure that is a blast from start to finish. Much has been made of the use pop culture references in the film, I quite enjoyed them in particular The Shining sequance which faithfully recreates the film. Tye Sheridan makes for a dashing hero and Oliva Cooke more than holds her own as the girl of his dreams. Ready Player One is up there with the best of Spielberg's entertainments.
