A Simple Reality Check

Rating: 8/10 (17 April 2018)

A nostalgic movie, Ready Player One based off a book by the same title, is riddled with fun easter eggs and references to other films, game, books, music and so much more. It is a solid film and I really enjoyed it.
In general this film is simple in story telling and character development. Where I don't often enjoy dystopian settings I really enjoyed this. I think it's that in this film we see societal escapism and honestly that feels real and maybe hits a little too close to our real world.
This movie does a great job at being entertaining and light-hearted while also directing the viewers to have a serious look at the world around them and asks them simply to be apart of it.
