Ready Player One *****

In 2045 the world has become cramped with people living in mass slums but there is an alternative to the depressing reality called The Oasis a virtual reality where you can be or do whatever you want.

The creator of The Oasis has passed away and in his wake left three keys in the virtual reality that can be obtained by winning games and solving glues. Once someone has all three keys The Oasis will be there’s to control and run.

An epic battle ensues between a large corporate ruthless company and a young player from the slums to win the game and save The Oasis.

The story and characters are engaging and sfx wise you truly do not get much more cinematic than Ready Player One. If you are only to watch one film in the cinema this month catch this.

If there was such thing as Spielberg Magical Glitter it’s been poured all over the screen bringing fantasy, comedy, adventure and excitement into a futuristic action film that oozes 80s nostalgia in a truly joyous way.   

In fact the way the film draws so many references from the 80s and incorporates them into the story is remarkable effective vibe to the coolness of driving the DeLorean from Back to the Future to scary interaction from The Shining one of the craziest sequences. 

Original, epic and Spielberg who’s about to become is own genre.
