A Tyrannosaurus rex, King Kong and some scary stranger things!

Rating: 8/10 (18 March 2019)

Wade Watts lives with ant Alice in Columbus, Ohio in the stacks, a vertical pile of trailers, a kind of slum, in the year 2045. Wade's favourite hobby is to immerse in the OASIS, a vast virtual world. As he thinks: people come to the OASIS for all the things they can do but they stay because of all the things they can be. Tall, beautiful, scary, a different sex, a different species, live-action, cartoon. It's all your call. Wade's avatar is a cool white guy with tattoos called Parzival and his best friend is Aech a person he never met in the real world.
The OASIS was developed by the eccentric billionaire video game designer James Halliday. When he dies he leaves behind his huge fortune and the control of the OASIS to someone who will find an Easter egg hidden somewhere in the virtual world. The spectacular hunt for the Easter egg begins and gets really interesting when Wade finds the first clue...
This movie is quoting the 80's pop culture in a fantastic manner. It is really fun to see a Tyrannosaurus rex, King Kong and the DeLorean from Back to the Future in one movie. The flick is also getting more suspenseful till the end. The film is based on the novel by Ernest Cline who says, despite a lot of critism by the fans, about the movie: but the heart of my book is there and the heart of my story and the whole theme and everything that I was trying to touch on is there but in a way that's cinematic and engaging...I tell people, it's like density. It's meant to be.
