I REALLY enjoyed this movie. Talk about MY KIND OF MOVIE! Action and character development and social commentary and cool special effects and a quest and WOW! If you enjoy movies like Star Wars or Avengers or other fantasy/scifi/adventure movies, then you'll love Ready Player One! 

It's all about this virtual reality world called The Oasis and how its creator put in an Easter Egg (just in time for Easter) that came about after his death. Everyone is trying to find this prize because the winner will CONTROL The Oasis! This is a big deal since the world kinda sucks and so everyone turns to their virtual world to find joy. Which isn't really a good thing, since that makes the real world even worse! It's a vicious cycle and hard to break, which is why this movie addresses it in such a vivid way.

I really liked the characters and thought they were realistic and deep. Even secondary and tertiary characters added to the world and weren't just window dressing. They really considered how this world would be. Pretty much everything made sense! The pace was almost always upbeat and the action kept coming. The characters kept getting more interesting. It was a great ride for all people to see! Plus the music was great and there were all sorts of nostalgia moments from tons of pop culture references. I really, REALLY enjoyed it and I think you will, too!
