Special Effects overload

Rating: 4/10 (8 April 2018)

Definitely a movie for the MMP crowd. Very soft on plot but heavy on special effects. Not for anyone over age of 40 unless into MMP. It's like a spy movie, star wars, transformers, TRON all spliced togther. Many references to Apple Jobs/Wozniak and old video games, and you live almost the whole movie inside OASIS. It little more background in the real world would be appreciated. It looks like the world is overpopulated and poor. I'm sure the book did a better job on background, since the movie is 80% special effects, 10% plot, and 10% fantasy. The hero is a orphaned nerd. The heroine is pretty and inexplicably living on her own with no visible means of support. Don't the players have to pay for using OASIS? Nobody works, nobody eats, nobody sleeps. The only reason I went to this movie is because of Spielberg.
