A different type of movie.

Rating: 8/10 (10 May 2019)

The movie mixes its colors based on the situation. Ready Player One shows the colorful appeal and potential of a creative, swirling virtual reality. But it also warns that being fully consumed by such a fake reality. In fact, Halliday's key challenges all seem to connect in some way to his own personal life about the time and relationships he lost in the course of creating OASIS.
When it comes to a religious/spiritual standpoint, Wade says that to some OASIS gamers, "Halliday was like a god." He suggests that some players worshipped Halliday as much as the game world he created. That idea is underscored by the fact that gamers visit and study a VR journal Halliday left behind, a digital tome that illustrates his life and his obsessive love for pop culture.
This movie is no short of violence. We witness a few real-world shoot-outs and fights. The gunters are shot at as they try to outrun IOI pursuers. Wade and several other characters get hit in the face a few times, and a female IOI employee is kicked out of the back of a moving van to tumble in the street. We see her later with a raw scrape on her face. Sorrento also gets kicked in the crotch, and he doubles over in pain, which is the best moment :)
