Ready Player One
« on: December 17, 2018, 12:35:44 AM »
It's been sitting on my end table for months. Finally had time to watch it. Not bad.

It's a tad formulaic and a little sappy right at the end but, hey, it is a Steven Spielberg movie after all. Sound? Awesome. Visuals? In-freakin'-credible. All in all a decently enjoyable way to while away a couple of hours, especially if you were a teen in the mid 1980s.

I just watched it a couple of weeks ago.   Agree wholeheartedly with Brad's summation.   It's a fun flick...

I hate to be 'that guy', but if you liked the movie, you'll love the book.   Particularly if you grew up in the 80's.    I was born in 1970 and totally geeked out on the book.    I really liked the movie, but they changed the story substantially to make it more appealing for younger audiences.

I thought the movie was entertaining.  I didn't know there was a book.

I was going to try the audiobook until I found out Wesley Crusher narrated it.  Honestly (and unfairly, I know) that soured me on the whole thing.
