Great Movie, Lots of Fun.

Rating: 9/10 (5 November 2019)

Review:
'Ready Player One' is a science-fiction-adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg. It is based on the Ernest Cline novel of the same name.
While watching a bunch of Spielberg movies both old and new, this one sticks out to be one of the better new ones. With CGI being what it is today, and with Spielberg being the creator of multiple fan favorites, they could get away with lots in this movie.
The film takes place in 2045, when humanity uses the virtual reality software called the OASIS to escape the desolation of the real world. Orphaned teenager Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan) discovers clues to a hidden game within the program that promises the winner full ownership of the OASIS and joins several allies to try to complete the game before a large company run by businessman Nolan Sorrento (Ben Mendelsohn) can do so.
The cast all around is great, but Tye Sheridan are Olivia Cooke are the standouts for sure. They have great chemistry together both romantically in the real world and when kicking ass in the OASIS. Mark Rylance and Simon Pegg are fun in supporting roles as well.
I was a little concerned that since this movie is mostly CGI, that the story may get lost in the crazy world that was created. I don't believe that is the case at all. I think they blended the world perfectly and told a story worth watching.
Overall, I will be revisiting this movie soon. Anybody who loves Spielberg's direction and storytelling will love this movie.
4.5/5
