I kept wishing it was a video, so I could do instant replay on scenes I thought they could have done an impressive scene.<br />
The movie was what would be expected from a Hollywood special effects extravaganza.<br />
It occasionally reminded me of the book…kinda. Most of the characters are present in both. That's about it.<br />
My thoughts to those that have not read the book. See the movie and be even more mindblown to read the book.<br />
My thoughts to those that have read the book. See the movie with no expectations from the book. It will be a Hollywood special effects romp.<br />

Instead of inheriting a fortune, they get to lose a fortune on lameness.</p>
<p>RL virtual reality is pretty lame right now and consumers haven't been suckered into it in huge numbers. Schindler's List was a great movie, but we weren't hoping it would herd people into concentration camps. Consumers would have a better chance of getting a RL version of a concentration camp experience than they would get the other movies virtual reality experience. <br />

Your not going to be walking down a busy city street when your supposed to be in an entirely different environment. It makes no sense at all, please if someone can explain how this makes sense I would love to hear it, it would make me feel better about the movie. ( I don't remember this type of nonsense in the book)</p>jonny commented on 'Spielberg's <em>Ready Player One</em> On Track to Become Solid (If Not Spectacular) <em>Tron Legacy</em>-Type Hit'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef01b8d2e7b4f0970c2018-04-03T02:01:57Z2018-04-03T02:01:57ZjonnyThat's KOI POND!<p>That's KOI POND! </p>jonny commented on 'Spielberg's <em>Ready Player One</em> On Track to Become Solid (If Not Spectacular) <em>Tron Legacy</em>-Type Hit'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef01b7c95d7694970b2018-04-03T02:00:55Z2018-04-03T02:00:55ZjonnyThis movie made me lose what little respect I had for Spielberg.

<p>If he teleported on to my land, dressed as a teen with his cap backwards, I'd drop kick him into my neighbor's koy pond.</p>
