Spielberg gets back into the game with one!

Rating: 8/10 (2 April 2018)

4/1/18. Saw this in the theater today in 2D and worth seeing on the big screen. If you are not a gamer or not still in your teens, then all the visuals may be a bit over-stimulating and overwhelming. Really, no wonder kids can sleep or calm down these days! Anyway, Spielberg paints a very dismal dystopia in which everyone escapes into a virtual world known as Oasis because reality is just so bad. Rylance is the creator of Oasis and upon his death he promises wealth,glory and control of Oasis to the person who can solve his puzzle and win 3 keys to his kingdom. That's the basic premise. Spielberg is back in the game with this movie. He has managed to make a movie that is appealing to the Post-Millennials and well as the Millennial and Generation X. However, Baby Boomers will definitely enjoy all the references to pop culture from the last 40 years that only people who have been around for decades can really appreciate. Worth watching and rewatching to catch all the pop references. And, don't be deceived, Spielberg is still leery about Technology, just catch the last few minutes and you'll know what I mean.
