An enjoyment of entertainment and content

Rating: 10/10 (26 April 2018)

It's worth seeing. Based on the novel by Ernest Cline, is a true tribute to the pop culture of the '80s in relation not only to video games, but to characters and objects that trace us back eg. to "Back to the future" among others. A great soundtrack of classics that go from Van Halen, Bruce Springsteen, Joan Jett, Bee Gees, George Michael, Depeche Mode, New Order, Blondie, etc . Respect to the content is a dystopia located in 2045 in Ohio, do not think that is pure nostalgia, because it is a great critical metaphor about how the Internet can affect real life until it loses the clear limits between illusion and reality, extracting from it many messages, in relation to human bonds, identity, power games and corporate slavery over citizens, and the socioeconomic polarization of rich and poor. Undoubtedly, Spielberg and his advisers had a lot of extra work to achieve copyright permits, but they achieved a very good film by merging entertainment and content to be analyzed. It motivates me to go for Cline's novel.
