Got good entertainment out of it

Rating: 8/10 (7 April 2018)

Even though the movie has some problems, it was still very entertaining to me. I like the 80's references just as much as the ones related to modern media.
I haven't read the book, but as I have received it recently, I probably will read it at some point. Still, even if the book is superior as some claim, I'll still consider this movie entertaining.
Personally I don't think movie makers should stick to close to the source material when they make a movie out of it otherwise we get stuff like Harry Potter 7.1 and 7.2. I really despise these movies for how boring they were.
Anyway, the effects and sound design in the movie were great. The actors also did a decent job portaying their characters. You could really see how the creator of the OASIS was an extremely socially awkward guy.
In terms of story there seem to a few elements missing regarding the background of the companies that makes it a bit hard to understand. It's never really clear who exactly runs the OASIS and what IOI actually does as a company except for these centers.
A bit more focus there would've helped the movie. In addition some aspects with the login and how players die and revive are a bit nonsensical.
Anyway I enjoyed it and had a good time. So objectively I'd give it a 6-7. Subjectively I'll go with an 8.
