too long

Rating: 1/10 (6 June 2018)

This was a two and a half hour movie for a half hour of content.
I didn't read the book, aside from chapter 1, but given from how every once and a a while the movie would hint at a plot or theme or morale, I assume the book did actually have a story line.
This was 50% 80s references(which I'm aware is from the book), 45% horrible CGI fight/action/violence scenes, and 5% story line. The character development in the movie is zero. I'm pretty sure the whole movie was filmed in front of a green screen. It felt like I was watching a video game demo, which I guess was somewhat the point as it happened in a video game, but it was just visually unappealing to the eyes.
The avatars were hideous. OASIS was hideous.
And a complaint toward both the movie and the book, I am so tired of 1980s music and references. I was born in the 1980s and never even got to experience the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s fully because society is stuck in the 1980s for some reason.
Maybe the music was good in the 1980s, but having to hear the same songs continuously for my entire life means hearing 80s music just gives me a raging headache.
