You need to see this one on the biggest screen possible, and let it wash over you as if you had stepped inside the most incredible video game experience ever created — one in which events in the manufactured universe can have lasting and serious real-world consequences.
My main beef is with Spielberg’s choice to leave out his own work, both as producer and director: “I didn’t corner the ’80s market,” he told Entertainment Weekly. But yeah, he kind of did.

Video game movies usually ****, but this one is awesome. The idea of a VR world were you can do and be anything makes me with it was real. Well, without the threat of getting murdered ofc.
(oh, and also, my guys Sonic and Tails is in it for a few seconds, soI have to give it credit for that).

Dazzling in form and a chase film at its heart, Ready Player One is exhilarating, but it also can’t sit still. Fitting to the content perhaps, the movie still arguably suffers from troublesome A.D.D. with its hyper fast cutting and its tendency to wander narratively.
Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One is competent, occasionally rousing entertainment that nonetheless left me a little bummed.
Ready Player One is entertaining enough, and it’s certainly well-made, but what truly stands out is the filmmaker’s prevailing-present sense of bemused disgust at the way his offspring are spending their time. He can’t go home again, and he knows it.
So much of Ready Player One is assembled from the detritus of our past that it is less a film and more an overstuffed cultural recycling bin. A shiny, expensive, well-cast and professionally assembled recycling bin, sure, but a trash heap all the same.
With Steven Spielberg behind the camera, Ernest Cline’s book had potential to transcend its source material. It’s disheartening that the finished product is little more than the cinematic equivalent of a pop culture mashup tee, which takes cherished icons of film and coats them in garish CGI while clumsily smashing them against one another like a child playing with action figures.
Steven Spielberg recaptures the magic of 1980s teen movies and Sci-Fi films (Back to the Future, etc). in a completely fresh and innovative film that is Willy Wonka's golden ticket plot meets virtual reality. One of the best video game themed films ever made, with great visuals.

Very entertaining movie filled with Easter eggs and cool references. In the end suffers from a very thin and overly exploited plot with a mild to blend villain.

Words cannot describe how much I dislike this movie. I was ok with it at the beginning, and I enjoyed the Shining scene, but besides that, there's nothing redeemable about this movie for me. By the end it was truly paining me to keep watching. Definitely my least favorite Spielberg (to be fair, I haven't seen that much from him, especially his movies people don't like as much, but I have seen Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and yes, this is much worse).
