Ready Player One [Blu-ray]
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
In the year 2045, people can escape their harsh reality in the OASIS, an immersive virtual world where you can go anywhere, do anything, be anyone-the only limits are your own imagination. OASIS creator James Halliday left his immense fortune and control of the Oasis to the winner of a contest designed to find a worthy heir. When unlikely hero Wade Watts conquers the first challenge of the reality-bending treasure hunt, he and his friends-known as the High Five-are hurled into a fantastical universe of discovery and danger to save the OASIS and their world.
Spielberg wants us to drop the techno-gadgets and join hands, but it’s the VR world that really juices him. He’s the ultimate fanboy making a movie about the need to move beyond being a fan.-Peter Rainer
From director Steven Spielberg comes the fantasy-adventure film Ready Player One. Set in the not too distant future, a group of gamers compete in a virtual reality game set up by its designer to determine who will be his heir and inherit the virtual reality world that he created; but to win they’ll have to decipher clues in the game relating the designer’s life and his love of ’80s pop-culture. The animation is really good, particular in creating a look and feel for the virtual world that seems realistic and is able to incorporate dozens of different properties from Back to the Future, to Freddy Kruger, to King Kong. And the action scenes are incredibly exciting and dynamic; featuring a number of different kinds of chases and fights. Also, the soundtrack is extraordinarily well-done and is packed with classic hits from the ’80s. A visual wonder, Ready Player One is tremendously entertaining and fun.-DANN M
Can you imagine watching this if you didn’t give a fuck about the ’80s? Like there’s nothing that happens in Ready Player One that isn’t a reference to something at least, but almost all of them are ’80s references. I mean I worship at the altar of 1980s’ references on a daily basis, and even for me this was only so-so, I fear to imagine what Ready Player One might be like for someone who actually demands originality. Honestly, it was better than I was expecting, I’ll front to that. The promotional campaign for this had the barometer for my excitement on this at a firm zero, and by the time I had finished watching it I was surprised to find I had actually enjoyed multiple things about it, but Ready Player One is an exercise in lack of subtlety, and really tries your limits on suspension of disbelief. Not because of the fantastical endless virtual world inhabited by near every creation since the dawn of pop-culture, but because of the character interactions in their “real world”.-GIMLY M
