Movie Ready Player One

[MrDragster1970]

.


Just watched yesterday.
Kind of boring & started doing other things while it was on.

Of course I have not played a video game in a very long time.
Last home video game I played was pong.
Last video game I played was miss packman on my ship while cruising around the Aleutians about 35 years ago.

Every time I watch this movie I catch something new.

This time I caught that during the first race the movie theater is playing jack Slater. A.k.a. the Arnold Schwarzenegger parody movie.

Also in the holiday journals when they’re talking about the second challenge there are three notes that are played repeatedly towards the end of the scene. Those notes are the first three notes from the Voltron theme song.

A lot of subtleties. Even though the movie divvies away from the book, there's still a lot to take in and see. Also on a side note, the book, Ready Player Two is out now.

One of the best movies ever and I bet you could watch it 50x and not see all the Easter eggs.

Totally forgot about book 2. I was gonna put it on my preordered list.

Also, the music mix is phenomenal

I saw it was going to be released on Amazon one day so I pre-ordered it and forgot all about it until it shipped. I'm 1/3rd through it already.

Any good? Amazon reviews aren't great.

I found it enjoyable and nostalgic. I liked the book better but I feel like it was a fun movie.

 

[importcrew]

I liked the first book a lot better than the movie (isn't that how it normally goes?), and as for the 2nd book.... I'm still reserving an opinion as I want to finish it first to see how well it is in comparison to the first.

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

And book finally finished. 2 days. Not too long a read at just under 400 pages.

Significantly different from the movie and while I liked parts of it, I think I like the way the movie made the High 5 better friends who worked together more, vs the loners they were in the book.

With this much difference between the book and movie, I expect if they ever do Ready Player Two the movie it'll start out in a much different place and follow only the loosest of plot lines from the book.

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

Okay,

Picked up the 2nd book today. Shit is this book kind of depressing. At least the first 100 pages is really depressing.

I'm just half way through it now, and its dark. About 200 pages to go.

 

[Flyn]

After reading the 2nd book, I'd make a lot of changes for a movie. Book is disjointed in places and I'm not a fan of parts of the ending. The Easter Eggs they include in this book are not nearly as good as Ready Player One. To me the book felt like the author put less effort into it. Quick paycheck for him.

I could see a decent movie if the screenwriters and director took the good parts and replaced the not so good.

Gonna add this to the watch list

Ready Player One? You haven't seen it? Holy crapy you MUST see it.

 

[NOMIEZVR4]

I don't think I ever heard of it

Stop whatever you're doing. And sit down and watch

 

[NOMIEZVR4]

I just watched the mummy with tom Cruise this weekend, that was a solid flick. I'll probably watch this either tonight or later in the week. Will report back after I'm done.

This will dominate the Mummy and hard core face plant you into Nostalgia.
