In the year 2045, the real world is a harsh place. The only time Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan) truly feels alive is when he escapes to the OASIS, an immersive virtual universe where most of humanity spends their days. In the OASIS, you can go anywhere, do anything, be anyone-the only limits are your own imagination. The OASIS was created by the brilliant and eccentric James Halliday (Mark Rylance), who left his immense fortune and total control of the Oasis to the winner of a three-part contest he designed to find a worthy heir. When Wade conquers the first challenge of the reality-bending treasure hunt, he and his friends-aka the High Five-are hurled into a fantastical universe of discovery and danger to save the OASIS.
This movie was so good. It was full of things from the 80's. They had so many references to movies and other games. I really liked seeing the t-rex,kong,and mechagodzilla. It would have been cooler if it had been the real godzilla though. The delorean was kind of cool too. They even turned 80's toys into weapons like the exploding rubik's cube. My favorite character is Artemis but I also really liked Sho. He was just so little. The Iron Giant was also pretty awesome. I didn't really understand why they were so worried about a bunch of kids. They probably would have done better and won if they were more focused on the game than worrying about a bunch of kids who are looking for the keys too. I think it was cool that the maker made it a challenge instead of just handing the OASIS over to anyone. He made sure that he could trust it to that person. I find it even cooler that they made his old partner Morrow a consultant after taking over the OASIS and liked even better that he shared it with his friends. Now the five of them share it. I kind of want them to make a ready player two and make a second movie. I'm not sure what the story would be but it'd be just as awesome. This is definitely a movie to go see and more than once, Maybe like five times. It was full of action and excitement and never got boring. I think everyone will love it.
