I’m kind off obsessed with Ready Player One at the moment, book and movie. And now I can’t stop listening to 80s classics.

I loved Ready player one, the book. And I'm hoping the movie is just as good. I feel that it won't be long until we join the immersive world and loose ourselves in a similar environment.

Not the book
You have to logically separate the book from the movie. They are not the same universe, and they are not the same zombies. If you can do this, then this is a good movie.

The combat is good, characters are decent, and it doesn't feel terribly unrealistic.

Scientifically researched
It may seems boring or it may seem interesting. You have to pay attention to detail in the book as you read, as it puts into place the scenario that is unfolding. The movie explains some of it but does give the book justice as it would have been time consuming. Read the book first. Then you can ride along the senseless movie ride and actually know wha t is going on that the other movie goers do not.

I enjoyed this movie. The actors were all good choices, and the effects were great- for the most part. The movie was definitely influenced by the book, but did not stick close to the book. The choice to not stick close to the book could be seen as a wise one, as the director/ producer probably wanted it to be relatable for the viewers. The problems I had with the movie, was the time period, that they took strong women characters and made them weak, and that the Uncle was hiding his powers. The time period was a few decades earlier in the book, which helped explain the main characters quirks a bit better than the movie did. The women in the movie got the "Women in the Refrigerator" treatment. Meaning the two big women roles, who in the book were highly powerful, were lowered in their abilities in the movie. The neighbor witch to the main character, was elderly and was more powerful than the Uncle was and never had a curse put on her in the book and didn't have a romantic relationship with the Uncle. Also, Selena was the one who was summoned in the book and was the main baddie, while in the movie they teamed her up with her husband effectively making her character useless. Another point, the magicians and witches in the books didn't hide their powers, magic was meant for anyone to learn or study. In the movie, magic is hidden and only for a select few. I did love the part were the demon showed up, it was very freaky and made what was meant to be a kids movie into a "uh...well that was disturbing," kind of dark tone to the show. I love Eli Roth's films, but he could have done a little bit more with this than he did.
