Ready Player One starts out with a strong, or at least decent, first act. The second act introduces bad '80s action movie/children's TV show villain tropes into the movie's real world elements. The third acts just stops trying to make in-real-life sense altogether. The CGI is good, the acting is nothing to complain about, the pop-culture references can be fun to spot, but the promising start makes the increasingly grown-worthy logic fails that much more disappointing.
