Ready Player One

From filmmaker Steven Spielberg comes the science fiction action adventure Ready Player One, based on Ernest Cline’s bestseller of the same name. The film is set in 2045, with the world on the brink of chaos and collapse. But the people have found salvation in the OASIS, an expansive virtual reality universe created by the brilliant and eccentric James Halliday (Mark Rylance). When Halliday dies, he leaves his immense fortune to the first person to find a digital Easter egg he has hidden somewhere in the OASIS, sparking a contest that grips the entire world. When an unlikely young hero named Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan) decides to join the contest, he is hurled into a breakneck, reality- bending treasure hunt through a fantastical universe of mystery, discovery and danger.

I had read this book and LOVED it.  Could not have been more excited to see the movie if I tried.  Spielberg directing a movie like this again finally?  Where do I sign!?!  There were MANY changes made from the book.  Normally this would royally set me off disappointment wise.  However, these changes majorly worked movie wise and both of them equally awesome.  This movie was basically a pop culture fan's dream.

I absolutely recommend people checking this out.  This was old school Spielberg at his best.  It was a very fun popcorn movie.
