Ready Player One

Oh where to begin.

So with this movie, my issues with it are almost entirely with the source material (the novel). Everything the film does to move away from the book is actually to it's benefit. Everything the movie stays faithful to, suffers badly. Taking out all the dodgy themes and morals of the story, its a pretty basic 'quest for the macguffins' teen adventure type thing. Pretty boring and by the numbers. But put the context glasses back on and this becomes something very ugly.

Ready Player One is the ultimate neckbeard fiction and in a bad way.
