A movie that manages to collect most of the pop and nerd culture from the 80's, until today

Rating: 7/10 (18 January 2020)

I did not read the book, so unfortunately I cannot compare the source material to the cinematic adaptation.
The CGI sequences were really well made and as a fellow gamer, I have to say that were really immersive and it seemed to be really watching people playing. OASIS is stunning: the art direction is really good, locations are very well made, fights scenes are intense. This is exactly what I was expecting from a movie of this kind. The story is intriguing with interesting plot twists that will mix together the virtual and real words together. Even if the plot is not the most original one, the way it is narrated is different than the average Hollywood action movie. "Ready Player One" manages to collect references to pop and gaming culture, starting from the 80s, until today: more or less 40 years in one single movie.
After many attempts from Hollywood to create movies inspired from video games (like Resident Evil), that failed miserably, this one seems to be the real first movie related to games that aims perfectly to the objective: be entertaining, funny and have a good story.
