Ready Player, GO!!!

Rating: 9/10 (7 April 2018)

The extravagant framework created by Spielberg gave me chills, thrills, laughs, tears, & so much nostalgia I almost drowned in it. You should immerse yourself in this glorious visual treat on the biggest screen available, the way it was meant to be experienced. The CGI FX are on such a grand scale, they are palpable. I truly wish I could have surrounded myself in it wearing the VR headgear they use in the story. This is completely & totally a film made for me, as I've always said I would live inside a movie or television, if it was possible. I even caught all the obvious Easter Eggs, & a lot of the more easily missable ones, although I never played a few of the games shown in it, I still recognized the ones I did see. I know there are many I missed though as they sometimes whizz by at lightning speed.
It was a thoroughly engaging, & very fun trip watching all the pop culture woven into this thrill ride of a story that reminded me a bit of Charlie & the Chocolate Factory with a villain thrown in to wreak havoc with our hero, Wade Watts AKA Parzival & his merry band of OASIS dwelling geeks. I loved the soundtrack which was on pointe, & major kudos for the characters' avatar designs. Well done! I'll definitely be seeing this multiple times during its theatrical run & it'll be a must own for me.
