An ok trip down memory lane, but nothing new

Rating: 6/10 (20 June 2018)

Yet another video game nostalgia movie. This time we have a virtual world and the world is a ugly place so everyone plays. Nothing new, its been done before in movies, anime, and books. A group of kids hunt for an easter egg inside of the most popular game on the planet (or so it seems). They have to outsmart, and outwit adults and big corporations as they search for the magic egg that gives the finder control and major ownership of the game. We have kiddie romance, murder, and all sort of stuff along the way but that is about it. I laughed exactly once during the Terminator 2 scene but honestly, the movie was not funny and the CGI action was not particularly impressive if you are a gamer already. The nostalgia hooks have been beaten to death already so no points there either.
Not a bad movie, its watchable but certainly its no masterpiece nor is it memorable. Give it a go, but dont expect much.
