A well done homage to the pop culture.

Rating: 7/10 (24 June 2019)

Ready Player One is the return of Spielberg with his work as director, and does not disappoint with his new delivery. A quite entertaining film with moments dedicated especially to pop culture, especially gamer culture, I think that many characters, especially young people, will especially enjoy this work for its enormous amount of direct and indirect references to this genre.
The movie is designed to entertain pleasantly, it achieves it with its fantastic special effects, incredible sound design and special soundtrack to activate that nostalgic sensation. With a simple story and a premise without over-complications, the film does not fall into a large number of holes or over-saturation, does a good job presenting itself as it is. A tribute to the world of entertainment.
Very entertaining, it is fantastic to admire the incredible action scenes, although if I had to highlight the bad points, well, I would say that this is a film without real motivations, we do not get to feel a great attraction for the characters, each seems to represent an archetype already established without new samples of originality, the creativity of the film lies with its visual presentation, not with its characters which end up being simply averages. Perhaps the only character who really enjoys both the performance and the background story is the creator of the OASIS, which appears a few times, but each time is an emotional sensation that feels like a direct message to the audience. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear too much and the rest of the film is with the main characters which are not bad, but not very good either. Also, it reaches a point where the film is very dependent on references to video games, movies or the like, denoting a sensational overuse for it. Despite this, it is quite fun, entertaining and with excellent special effects, very good for entertaining us.
