Ready Player One (7.75/10)
It's a Spielberg movie, which got me interested. I wonder if my perspective on this movie would be different if I didn't know it was a Spielberg movie and all the hype that was around it (perhaps my score would reduce by .75 points if his name wasn't attached to it). It just seems this generation of movie releases just puts up too much hype around the movies, but I guess Spielberg's name attached to it contributed.
The start of the movie was a bit slow. VR goggles thing just didn't seem realistic with the virtual world. I didn't like the way the two main computer characters looked, didn't seem that thoughtful. For a Spielberg movie, this movie doesn't have originality, plot depth, or something deep behind the story. The story is straightforward, and it's cliche. This is 2018, and majority of releases seem cliche (why is Millennial generation the clieche generation, do they like originally? This generation seems to be just rehash of things). What happened to adaption/productions like Minority Report? Spielberg just went the wrong direction after association with the movie Transformers, and this one, which doesn't seem genuinely Spielberg from his best times(when you can tell he poured his heart into the movies). I guess it's more of a cartoon, but not with cute animals like pretty much 90% percent of American animation seems to be, but still, it's not even close to adult animation from Japan (Like Ghost in the Shell, etc..). Too corny for it to be taken that seriously.
The plot got little more interesting, and the Shining scene was good, and loved the Gundam being released. Lots of recognizable trademarks, but that will not boost the movie's thoughtfulness (which is lacking severely). Decent enough to get me though the movie to the end, as the film gets more interesting to watch during the middle and picks up toward the end. So, you will at least be entertained.
This movie sort of reminds me of the original Tron with the IOI corporation thing.
It's a typical Millennial generation creation faire, no originality. I bet the book has more depth.
Soundtrack on the other hand, there were tracks I liked.
Also, Blue Monday by New Order as well. That was surprising
