Potential Spielberg Classic!

Rating: 8/10 (1 April 2018)

Ready Player One was simply a fun time. The story held enough weight to give the movie some substance, but wasn't too complicated and didn't seem overly ambitious.
The visuals were stunning! Spielberg didn't get carried away with the special effects but rather used them with ingenuity and finesse. This combined with the close up, twist-and-turn camera work made the movie fun and exciting visual experience.
The movie started loosing its way for me towards the third act. The moral of the story could've been used in a clever way to twist the ending, but instead it was a cliché climax and just as cliché of a wrap up. I also think that the runtime of 2 hours and 20 minutes could be shortened.
Despite the complaints just mentioned and some minor annoyance with the unnecessary exposition, this was my most enjoyable trip to the cinema in a while!
