Mediocre Spielberg

The movie feels thin, take away the references to video games and pop culture and you have a very poor movie for the talents of Spielberg. I love the visuals and the concept tho with the shining scene being the highlight here.

Kudos

Promising concept buried under clumsy craftsmanship

A great concept that should in theory be catnip to an 80s kid such as myself. However this is to pop culture junkies what Fifty Shades of Gray was to S&M enthusiasts: poorly written, drawn out fan fiction that is in dire need of a more competent editor.
The 80s pop culture references are so clumsily laid on, they lose any fun they may have held for me after the first chapter.
Sure, the author has done his research, but this reads as if it was written by a machine trying to approximate human emotion and interaction; technical pitches for gadgets yet to be commissioned in place of wit, story and heart.

Very disappointing.
