Reviewing this Movie on a movie review site as a Fantastic Nostalgic Gamer friendly Wonderful Ride

Rating: 9/10 (5 July 2018)

As this is a movie review I won't compare the book to the film, and as such I have to say it stands up and demands to be counted as a cult classic. As a gamer originally on Atari, wading (pun intended) through 3D monster maze on my ZX81, to the Vic and commodore to my Mega system, Xbox's and Playstation's that exist as familiar friends and companions, I was not a single player as I watched but a member of an MMORPG, enjoying the camaraderie and nod to iconic chapters of life and gameplay.
The story is simple kill the micro transaction, $$$ orientated and focused corporate productions values for "love of the game" experiences that embrace what it is to "game". Its simple because it is simple, its enjoyable because you bring your own experience and associations with you.
Watch it, embrace it, bask in the multifaceted cross referencing and easter egg in easter egg as they roll on by and enjoy.
Read the BOOK! and enjoy it too and go on to review it on the literary sites that celebrate it's deserved wonderment, but here its all about the film and it is awesome FTW!
