Ready Player One

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

When books are adapted into movies, I think it’s best to look at them as two separate works of art rather than comparing them. It’s very difficult to translate one art form into another without making changes. Most novels of any length would require a movie of several hours for a literal transfer.Ready Player One’s movie version has the same basic premise, same characters, and to my surprise, the same messages. Having Ernest Cline cowrite the script was definitely a good move in that regard, a way to preserve the essence of the book in the midst of a remarkable number of changes. Major events in the book are often omitted from the movie. New events are added, and order of events is often different. Despite that, I had a lot of the same reactions to the movie as I did to the book.-William A. Hiatt

I’d read the book maybe 5-6 years ago. Generally, I have trouble enjoying movies when I’ve already read the book they were based on, but this was an exception.Maybe enough time had past, or maybe it was just a solid film, but I really enjoyed it, as did my wife (who isn’t particularly into gaming, but did appreciate the 80’s references). I’m sure some others who read the book will nitpick and find things to complain about, but dont get it wrong, this is a well made, quality film with some subject matter that is just waiting to happen in our near future – none of it is particularly far fetched. Fun, light watch, with great references throughout (Batman, Halo, Overwatch, and many dozens more).- Tristan Keidis

I walked in not having read the book with relatively low expectations. I walked out a fan. I started reading the book after watching the movie and I love learning more about this incredible world. If you’re a fan of 80s pop culture of video game/geek culture you’ll find things to love in this movie. It’s not Shakespeare by any means, but you’ll walk away feeling good and probably wanting to play a video game.-Rick Xander
