It’s a degraded version of SAO

As a stand alone sci fi action movie it was great! But as a Steven Spielberg movie quite a let down.

What made it not great in my opinion is the overuse of cgi and some of the ways the story went.

But the characters were riveting

Sooooo looking forward to this, but oh its so woke. Glossy and well made but zzzzzz

Excelent graphics, recomended in a 82” 4k TV

So many references to my childhood, pop culture nostalgia! Superb story, incredible CGI, probably my favourite Spielberg Film to date!

This film is an insult to the book. Disappointing is an understatement

Rarely is a movie with significant plot and content changes from the book a success - but this is. Great film, makes you want to watch it again and again.

Absolutely loved this movie. Felt like a breath of fresh air based on a number of movies I have seen recently.

So difficult to turn a great book into a good film so I’m very glad I haven’t yet read the book. Based on a lot of comments here it’s next on my list.

Couldn’t get over how fab this film is. Watched it over and over again. A big respect to the early video games and all time era 80’s pop culture. If your of a certain age you will truly get this film. Well anyone with any dignity will get this film. To all those who state “ it’s not a good as the book” Spoiler Alert. THEY NEVER ARE !! Get over it. Pity I can’t give it more stars. Well done Spielberg.

Love this move. Classic Steven Spielberg. Everything about it is so cool, especially the music.

I think this was the best movie I have watched in my whole life time no matter if I wasn’t as good as the book it 200% deserves a 5 star rating I highly recommend this movie for anyone curious watching it!!!

I love this film I wish it was real

Oooh it’s not as good as the book.... I don’t care! Films that are originally books rarely live up to expectation. This is a great film with so many video game references, music and the odd nod to the 80’s is fantastic. Just watch it and see how many characters you can spot. Then watch it again.

Can’t stop watching it and it’s just such a great movie with the classic games and movies

I love gaming and vr so as soon a I saw this movie I was on to it. I loved it and have never read the book but the movie definitely made me want to.

It seemed just a poor mans blade runner and tron in one, they won’t be listening to 80s music in future you know! God knows what that was about! It seemed messy and Spielbergs worst film, I don’t believe Sony PlayStation or oculus rift style tech will exist in 2040 or whatever year it was set in, there will be something more advanced my then. It all seemed all rushed and messy cgi graphics to me. Total rip off this film, how come someone paid £5.49 and I paid £13.99? Don’t pay not worth it.

The general plot is the same as the book, but despite there being many other differences in this adaptation, it still makes for an excellent movie.

Ok, the film was decent but I was putting off watching an HD / SD version as I wanted to see it in 4K quality. So I got this as it said 4K right below the image of the movie. Unfortunately it's only 4K over the latest Apple TV and whilst I knew my current older Apple TV won't play it in 4K and was intending on watching it on my laptop that is more than capable, I was upset to find that the copy was actually only HD because the only way you can view it in 4K is if you have the latest Apple TV. Feel pretty annoyed and dupped hence rating.

This film surprised me, as a ‘grown up’ I didn’t expect to enjoy it but it is just great fun and classic Spielberg in a modern wrapper.

Such an excellent film and ode to the 80's pop culture and video games. Highly recommend for both sci fi and none sci fi fans. Anyone who has grown up with video games (of a certain age) will love this film....but if you enjoy it, read the book - its even better.

Dont know what the hell the money men were thinking about on this film but i’ve no doubt their behind the decision to abandon the source material almost in all but name. The bare bones of the story have been used but the rehash of the story ? Has trashed it for the silver screen. The book is far better. Thats no critisism of the actors they worked well with what they had. Watch it but go read the book too

To me this film was very overrated and had a very predictable story line but in the other hand The Shining scene was brilliant but that was because it was THE SHINING one of the best films ever. Other than that the film was a big disappointment sorry to Steven Spielberg but this was not his normal standard of work.

To be honest! I was not expecting to be this good. The film lines up the future with the past while playing awesome 80s music. Production did amazingly well of showing life reality vs virtual to a new level. Highly recommend.

Great Fun Great Visuals Pure Escapism just watch it and have fun if you like SciFi Adventure don’t think about it to much.

Great Film from a Great Director

Not as innovative or exciting as the marketing would have you believe. Pretty pedestrian, actually.

Its great with so many references to games and films from the 80s, etc but it is too long.

Give it a watch.

I can see why this go a lot of great reviews and I’m a huge Syfi fan and and 80’s child but it just wasn’t what I expected. I would have watched it regardless of other reviews because I’m a fan of these films so I would watch and make take your own view.

Great film for all the family

So just to maintain expectations for potential 'Ready Player One' viewers, IF you are a gamer (ex-gamers due to family life, grown up or career, etc) and loved the 80s, I think that YOU would like the movie.

For others, I am unsure... Take a risk...

I liked it, it was good and fun. I was there for the ride.

It is 3 stars, becasue there are many, many, films that are better than this one. Rather than do the 5 star, "yeah I liked it thing", lets keep the perspective.

I'd wish the rest of the world would consider doing the same.....

Enjoy!

Didn’t expect much from this movie - but I’m delighted to say, I was happily surprised! Thoroughly enjoyed it...

Full of glorious retro film, tv, book, computer game references. A great adaptation of Ernest Cline’s book.

Absolutely fantastic film, will be a future classic. Finally a blockbuster that lived up to the hype and showed you don't have to delve back into the past. Honestly Spielberg is back to his best. Must watch people.

Worst £5.49 spent in my life

Great music to go along with it all, Amazing cinematography, just an all round good film definitely worth the purchase.

Hope their is a sequel novel and film!

I loved the book which came before but other than characters there were hardly any similarities. Changed the plot/all the puzzles/didn't have any of the best references. A lot of flash and no substance to this film. I found it really disappointing since I loved the book.

Jjhh

I wasn’t expecting much and I was still disappointed. When it was over, my wife and I looked at each other and wept knowing we had wasted our Saturday night when we could have got an escort over. Ah well. Live and learn.

Was unsure about this, put off watching it, glad I did! Sit back and bring on the nostalgia! Predicable, but a laugh!

Utter rubbish! Too long and totally relies on the CGI to make it interesting. The story is so flakey and gets boring. Sorry but this is just dreadful. Spielberg failed here.

As above people, rent it and see...👍

This movie is absolutely amazing in terms of the visuals and CGI/Effects, it’s produce is 5* quality standard, Spielberg doesn’t disappoint. character development is good enough, lacks a bit though, the acting is fairly good too; but what makes this movie is the setting and storyline of the “Oasis” and the fight to the Easter egg. overall we rate this a solid 4.5/5, For the visual presentation and the gripping storyline that intrigues all. Very good movie, Age rating:PG 13

I can’t stop myself from watching it over and over again! Very well made and good enough story line to keep you watching. Throwing in characters and references from all of our favourite movies is a brilliant touch

The book upon which this is very loosely based is a super nerdy trip through 80s pop culture, and its a poorly written, amateurish effort. Spielberg's movie perhaps wisely has little in common with the book, ditches most of the 80s references, and fills it with action sequences and breakneck pacing. The results resemble an extended video game cut scene, and it's entraining if rather empty. Classic Spielberg this is not, but it's still worth a watch.

Well excited, lots of fun and showing what VR May do to society in the future whilst leveraging old school games, films and bonding

Much better than I had hoped

I read the book, its great, but the movie is very disappointing when compared to the book. The story in the movie is hopeless in comparison - why didn't they stick to the fantastic story? This film isn't worth of the title 'Ready Player One based on the book'. Yes the FX are good but theres no point if you throw the story away.

If you enjoyed the movie, I suggest you read the book which is utterly fantastic. Sadly the film is a very weak interpretation in comparison. Would have been so much better as a big budget Netflix mini series.

Oh my word...what a terribly formulaic movie. Plucky young kids defeat the big bad all powerful company...I couldn’t get Cliff Richard’s The Young Ones out of my head.

The CGI is truly stunning (which can be said of a lot of movies) but the 3-dimensional games beautifully highlights the 1-dimensional plot. It’s doesn’t make much overall sense apart from shoehorning virtual reality games into a film plot (effectively identical to Tron...not the remake/revision...the good one)

The references will keep the fanboys gooey-eyed and entertained...however, it’s just gloss on a perfectly dull surface. Incidentally, it doesn’t say much about the current/future quality of films if kids in 2045 are quoting 1980s movies...clearly it predicts that in the future more films like this will be made.

If you want something that is written with a modicum of thought and highlights future technology and how we all may be changed using it...try Dark Mirror....1 thousandth of the budget but infinitely better.

When I heard that Spielberg was going to direct this I was expecting great things. This felt very rushed and skipped over too much of what made the book so interesting and gripping. I guess squeezing such a great story into a film that lasts just over two hours was too much of a task. If you do end up liking this then please read the novel as it’ll rock your world!

Honestly, what idiot gave this 1 Star. Even if you don’t like the movie and don’t like the great cast, good acting, awesome story - the full on assault on your senses with the blistering soundtrack and some of the best CGI your likely to see for some time, are deserving of 5 stars for that alone. It is quite simply, stunning to look at . Can’t wait to watch this at home in 4K HDR with 7.1 DTS

One of a handful of films that is just as good as the original book - okay so it’s hard to fit an entire novel into a couple hours but Ready Player One shows how to do it.

There’s bound to be heaps of things I missed and never even realised.

Great stuff - especially if you are a gamer !!

I pray this is the future of video gaming. I mean VR is advancing an astounding rate and with the glove controllers and full body suit prototypes already being considered for mass production, I personally think it will (almost) be this good fairly soon.

Especially when you think back to how games have evolved in the past 20 - 30 years. Another 20 years and this could quite easily be possible.

Fingers crossed - but for now, we can dream - with the help of Ready Player One

Just NO! Bad story. Awful Characters. And a whole lot of nothing but 80s references that doesn't mean anything… BORiNG

It's only fitting in the lore of cinema, that the man behind some of the most iconic iconography in history and the godfather of blockbuster entertainment, is the one to perfectly execute a stunning immersive experience of pop culture phenomenon, and even manages to showcase an interesting parallel of social commentary with the prison of entertainment. Spielberg’s Ready Player One is the essence and complete ideal of blockbuster cinema. It’s invigorating, with a beautiful storm of passionate conviction. Set pieces are stunning to behold in such high volume and running at such an excessive and accessible pace. Ready Player One is handcrafted by the ultimate creator of imagination, to be enjoyed and adored by all players, who will be left in complete awe. My advice for Spielberg? Get out now while you can stand tall and firmly behind the next evolutional step of entertainment.

Filled with ester Easter eggs and nodes to other film and 100% awesome!
