"Ready Player One" (2018) is an adventurous science-fiction film, in which people can enter a virtual game-world away from the dystopian everyday life. The developer of the game made a riddle. Who solves it, gets the control over the game and thus improving their life. Steven Spielberg is the director.

First of all, it needs to be said that those who read the book will probably see this movie with a more critical eye for obvious reasons. I did not read the book, therefore I can only speak for the movie.

But there are already some problems in the story. Some aspects do not make sense to me. After five years only one was able to solve a quiet solvable challenge? And near the end, the behaviour of the villain? Lastly, I could not understand the message of "Ready Player One"; I just could not get convinced of it.

Besides these flaws, you get nevertheless an entertaining adventure. The easter eggs of pop culture hidden in nearly every scene makes the movie fun. However, one also needs to actually know those references. Apart from that the effects for creating the virtual world are fantastic. The settings are also incredibly well-made. So, it does not lack in adventure and action.

Looking at the cast, everyone acted on an acceptable level. Tye Sheridan as the protagonist Wade played his role equally well as Ben Mendelson as the villain Sorrento.

If you are familiar with pop culture, love video games or just find your entertainment in action and adventure, you are not out of place here.

That's why "Ready Player One" gets from me 6.0 out of 10 points.
