A heart-warming tribute to gamers with a cinematic experience only Spielberg can provide

Rating: 9/10 (16 June 2018)

Let it be noted that I, as a lifelong gamer, had a strong positive bias for this film before I even sat down to view it. With that being said, I was blown away. I could not even begin to keep up with all of the references, hidden or obvious, to games, movies and pop culture. Spielberg out did himself with his creative vision of this retelling of the novel, and the visuals were positively stunning. For any gamer, this is an absolute must see. For any non-gamer, still a great watch. The only issue with this film is that its references will become more and more obsolete as time passes, as will the movie itself.
