Both for adrenaline junkies and aloof thinkers

Rating: 7/10 (29 March 2018)

This film adaptation of Ernest Cline's novel by Spielberg was a breeze of fresh air in the recent barrage of colorless and monotonous releases coming out of Hollywood. In the age where filmmaking has changed from storytelling to merely an audiovisual experience and filmakers are selling the same pizza with slightly different toppings, Speilberg is no more an exception. But atleast he was able add a flavour of nostalgia not only of 80s video game era but also of 90s The Matrix. Surley Spielberg's experience of Avatar comes in handy.
The production caters to both the adrenaline junkie generation as well as aloof thinkers. It not only contain keys to some forgotten philosophical principles of stoicism that one does not need to win to be happy in life. But it also warns the viewer of dangers of the virtual worlds of social media in any form and shape. Perhaps the path to happiness is in accepting the moments as they presents to us. Highly recommended in IMAX 3D.
