Ready Player One 2018

Cashes in on the current 80s obsession and gaming. I thought people caring more about the avatar VR world was depressing. Focusing on that would have been more interesting. Instead it just normalises a sad future, which tasteless. The pop culture references annoyed me after a while. It was time that could have been spent developing character, the world or plot instead of making the audience either a) remember the past fondly or b) Get a reference. The characters are also very stereotypical. Spielberg delivers a nice looking low blow.
