So much fun that I had to see it twice!

Rating: 10/10 (10 April 2018)

And the second time around, we took our 16-year-old with us. Some people would have you believe that there is no way that she could possibly have any fun, well guess what, they are wrong! Many of the pop culture references from the previous century were obviously lost on her, but as I have thought all along after my first viewing of the film, you don't have to be an X'er or a Xennial to have enjoyed this film.
Some people have accused this film of being misogynistic. HOW? Parzival's best friend, Aech, is a Black Lesbian IRL who has killer skills, both in PvP and in hacking. Art3mis is also a superior gamer to Parzival and someone he looks up to for her knowledge and expertise.
I don't get all the hate either from people that read the book before seeing the film. It's pretty common knowledge that the movie version will always be different. This happens all the time when popular books get translated to the big screen, nothing has changed over the years. Have you people been living under a rock? Besides if a movie were ever exactly like a book, it would be incredibly boring.
This is the most fun that I have had while watching a movie in a very long time. I will be purchasing the blu-ray when it comes out.
