Best Movie about Video Games!

Rating: 5/10 (2 May 2019)

Ready Player One (2018) is the latest movie directed by Steven Spielberg, based on Ernest Cline's novel with the same name. It was released by the company Warner Bros. Pictures in United States in 2D, Real D 3D, IMAX and IMAX 3D. This is an another movie about video games since there was already many video game movies like Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, Tron, Tomb Raiders, ... But this movie is extraordinary and way different from most of the video game movies.
The story starts with a guy Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan) who lived in a place called the stacks with his aunt. It was 2045, the future was messed up. Wade only liked playing video games called the OASIS (Ontologically Anthropocentric Sensory Immersive Simulation): a universe where you can do whatever you want, it had everything you could imagine and you're in this universe to battle with other opponents and collect coins. And one day, the creator of this game, James Halliday (Mark Rylance), who passed away and gave a message to all players: to find the three keys and unlock the Easter Eggs, who found the egg first would be granting ownership of the OASIS. Wade tried to do it, with the help of his friend Aech (Lena Waithe), Art3mis (Olivia Cooke), Daito and Sho. There's a company IOI (Innovative Online Industries), which its CEO, Nolan Sorrento (Ben Mendelsohn), seeked to control the OASIS as well. So the crew had to find the keys, take clues in order to get the Easter Eggs first (also mention that they had to defeat IOI players) and they succeeded and Wade Watts, whose avatar is Parzival, got the ownership and could control the OASIS and Sorrento was sent to prison with his....I dunno, F'Nale (Hannah John-Kamen). The plot was an improvement over the source material
The acting was praised by a lot of critics, especially they praised for Tye Sheridan's performance for being the main protagonist and he embodied his character as Wade Watts/Parzival. The action sequences were totally like a video game in reality, which was much better than making a VR glasses vision (it's really not cool). The CGI for the movie was really good, making it nominated for Oscars' Best Visual Effects. Unfortunately, even thought the movie was good and its effects were jaw-dropping, it wasn't crushing the box office well, only $582,9 million. Everything in here was WILDLY ENTERTAINING, all the adventures they had and Steven Spielberg took us a really joyful and awesome ride to the OASIS and also many references we wanted to see like characters in movie such as Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, Batman, Chucky, Iron Giant, King Kong, Mecha-Godzilla,... or even characters from other video games. The movie was creative in many ways making the greatest video game in a movie that no one has ever seen. Alan Silvestri was really great with the original score. The 80s soundtrack was really suitable depite being in the future of 2045.
I'm certainly impressive with many things about this movie. I couldn't wait to see its sequel, maybe Steven Spielberg would add more things many audiences were waiting to see in the sequel. It deserved a praise from both audiences and critics. It was really the best video game movies so far.
Points: 8.3/10
