Misleading Title, below average movie

Rating: 4/10 (9 May 2019)

Aside from the movie title being misleading:
The movie's "Oasis" concept doesn't work for the movie at the point where they reveal it being about PVP capitalism, where killing people, not gathering, not creating things, is where the money is created to spend on things. How should that be a world for the people to participate in - and where are the cheaters, hackers, farmers and bot users ?
If there's only war in there to "earn" money: How do people get the place they want the way they want it to be, as initially shown ? Everything seems always to be tied to coins to pay with if you want anything. So in reality this would be a pay to win game. No one would play this, let alone the poor masses. It's not an escape from reality, not a better world, it's just another chore.
~Spoilers ahead~
The whole 5 admins thing at the end just shows how much the missed the point. They call for others in the times of trouble but go back to a 5man admin team once they don't need them anymore. They know a PVP loss can cause people to kill themselves (as shown in a scene in the movie earlier on) but they don't fix that. Neither is there a single word about the world wipe and the loss of (years) of gear progression, because what do they care for the people that helped them ? They're happy and get their good ending and that's all Oasis taught them. Pyramid society "for everyone".
With neither story, nor real or virtual world, including the characters there, being well done it's one of those below average movies with a big hype.
4 / 10 at best.
I wish
-this was a longer movie with a title that wasn't misleading compared to what's in the actual movie (!)
-it wouldn't just be that kids vs adults concept but instead there would be a variety of people with different skills, knowledge, relevance etc. and that in both worlds, to form an interesting story instead of one driven by an ego concept and dumb luck
-they'd take a time to shine a real light on their version of the "real world" that is a "dystopia" because we didn't really get much of why and how in there and apparently in a ghetto in a dystopian society you still get you average non-corrupt police which doesn't show up when some houses are blown up but when a rich CEO runs around with a gun (without shooting someone)
-they'd highlight any Oasis content created by players that is anything else but Oasis intro / sell / buy related but features the propagated "better world". There was only the PVP world they showed and it's absolutely pointless, background and gameplay mechanic lacking PVP that people are forced (!) to participate in to earn money with
Everything in Oasis is about currency and score and the story is about the (admin) ego. While that's so the movie still tries to deliver a message about "we, together" and "Have fun. That's all that matters." - despite the PVP scene, showing that PVP loss = attempted suicide and despite the flaws I already mentioned with the concept of Oasis.
By my understanding of the movie a high level player is also one with a lot of coins, so there'd be a high value in killing high ranking players, yet there's a total absence of cheating / hacking / gang groups, let alone the display of interesting ambush- & combat mechanics or safe- & danger zones. Not even basic FPS or stealth concepts were touched in that movie, just a little bit of plattforming and racing.
The online fame part comes without problematic people, like haters, fake news etc. but doesn't get in touch with the community that there is either.
If there's a concept for a suit that's able to make the user feel pain - how wouldn't a hacker try to abuse this to activate 100% pain on all sources to either easily take out an enemy or gain something from someone that way ? Why are there no custom made substitutes ? If PVP is so highly competitive why not take the next step and use drugs as people do in sports ?
They should've used the concept of brain cases. That'd have the whole concept far more intrusive, dark and questioned their "real world" in a Matrix style. But I guess then they couldn't have their happy ending in their dystopian society in which they fixed nothing.
The Resistance: Fails TWICE in a row with the same mistake, causing them to be found and chased. All characters are conveniently close to another. No need to travel in the world and maybe show something of it or futuristic transportation concepts.
Even if this movie would get a sequel it failed on all fronts, making this unsalvageable. I bet they had an initial concept but no understanding of anything, didn't visit the sources or if then only on the shallow surfaces and surely didn't take their time to finish with a polished movie that had all points covered and a setup that WORKS. It's basically a movie with cliches and references aimed at kids but being too bad to matter for anyone, literally (aside from critics warning that this will waste your time).
I don't understand why this is rated so good with so many flaws and so little good in it. Literally every aspect in the movie has been done better by other movies in the past. This one wouldn't even work if they'd try to turn it into pure sarcasm.
Literally watch anything else that did a better job instead of this.
Be it Idiocracy, Total Recall, Tron, Matrix or whatever else to cover a single or multiple categories with movies done way better than this one (also sorry: forgot some movies' names...).
