This is my first time watching Ready Player one. I actually had a chance to see this back in 2018 but I was like meh. 6 years later IMDb kept on recommending me this film so I finally gave it a try and I ended up liking it!
This film would have been way better if the plot wasn't so predictable. I literally predicted how the film would play out in the first 20 minutes. However because it was so good, I still enjoyed the film nonetheless even if I knew everything. Because a film where it happens in the virtual world is a creative idea and a clear indicator of technology advancing.
The plot was actually pretty good and well-written. Our central 6 heroes had a ton of heart and characterization to them with a great message with a fitting tone. This makes for an enjoyable film and an epic final showdown at the climax. This film also includes a LOT of icons from other IP's. Like Sonic, Mechagodzilla, The twins from the halls, Iron Doom, and Master Chief are all in the same movie. It really did felt like futuristic virtual world. Another thing is that this film plays out riddles to the audience which is a nice touch and of course, the final message was a touching moment to both the characters and the audience
As much as I loved this film, some stuffs definitely could have been better. The villain was very lacking. The most evil thing he did was kidnap Samantha and expected the audience to be scared of him. And the future looks dystopic, like how awfully dirty everything was and how cramped everything was. One of the film's message is exactly about this but I wanted a more promising place. Not to mention how dull the people at the beginning were.
But other than, Ready Player One is a well-written, fun film anyone can enjoy despite the few noticeable issues
Rating: 8.2/10.
