Ready Player One 2018

Intial reaction.

The Good:
- The Oasis itself and the world within, was spectacularly done by Spielberg.
- The CGI isn't laughable in any stages of the film. It's a thrill ride from beginning to end.
- Massive action scenes are handled beautifully. As per usual from Steven Spielberg.
- The pop culture references, for the most part, had me going a bit nuts.
- The overall story was okay though.
- But this movie takes risks, and the risks pay off (You know the one).

The Bad:
- The ending was far too predictable.
- The contrast between the real world and the virtual one was too strong, and needed to be toned down. Especially for the moral to work properly.
- The villian, though good in some respects. Lacks originality, and doesn't have a full motivation, that we saw.
- Though it does seem to have it's own style, the contrasting issue comes in again with the frontal look of the film. Making it feel dull in some places.
