Spielberg reminds us how cool it is to be a geek in a world full of pop culture

Rating: 8/10 (29 March 2018)

The best movie I've seen so far this year!! full of references from the most popular and the most beloved franchises of all time, Ready Player One offers something audiences have never seen before from the previous movies that makes nerds all around the world screaming in joy: a world where your favorite monsters, giant robots, video game martial artists, fighters, and MMORPG characters all exist in the same universe people called "The Oasis".
"The Oasis" acts as some kind of a way for people to escape their miserable and horrible lifes since they can become anyone or anything they want without judgment or harassment that some people in the real world still have to deal with (Much like a kind of relieve and happiness you got when you find a water deposit in the middle of a vast desert after wandering around for days, hence the name "The Oasis").
The visual effect is so over the top that you can't get your sight on something else than the screen, the music fits really well, especially when they play the godzilla theme song when Mechagodzilla appeared, the racing scene is one hell of a heart-pumping experience that makes you feel like you are riding one of the ride till the end of the finish line.
one thing I notice that actually doesn't make sense is the fact that The Oasis is seemingly created by just one person since no one besides this person knows how to find the "Easter Egg" that contains half a trillion dollars and full access to the total control of the Oasis. I mean, even "God of War" needs a team of programmers to make, let alone a universe as vast as the Oasis.
So far, the audiences around me were having a good time laughing and cheering when their favorite childhood characters got mentioned or even appeared (like The Iron Giant, Gundam, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Harley Quinn, The Joker, Chun-Li, some characters from "Overwatch", etc). Everyone knows when you have people giving applause to a movie (like they did on the theater where I watched), you're surely watching a heluva good movie.
