Good Futuristic Flick!

Rating: 7/10 (18 November 2019)

Steven Spielberg's 2018 sci-fi film stars Tye Sheridan, Olivia Cooke, Ben Mendelsohn and Mark Rylance based on the book. This takes place in
the year, 2045 where we meet teen, Wade (Sheridan) who is an avid fan of late creator, James Halliday (Rylance) and his virtual program, OASIS. Wade enters Halliday's contest to find 3 hidden keys unlocking the golden egg which grants full control of the program, but a corrupt businessman, Nolan Sorrento (Mendelsohn) tries to stop him. Cooke (Bates Motel) plays Samantha, a girl Wade meets and finds romance with. This is a good futuristic flick with a decent cast, amazing effects and great score by Alan Silvestri as usual. The film also makes references to Spielberg's other films and sci-fi classics like, "Back to the Future," "Tron" "Blade Runner" and "Star Wars." I recommend this, especially if you grew up in the 80's or like video games.
