I feel bad for people who can't sit back and enjoy a good popcorn flick without overanalyzing it to death.

But the second in Ready Player One where they made it out that in 5 years no one had tried driving backwards to get the first key, my mind screamed "BULL****!"
I mean, the first thing I tried every level of Super Mario 2 was to go backwards through the levels... is anything BEHIND the doors you come out of each level?!? (there WAS!)
Then everyone lived near each other?... I know tons of guys on this forum, and only one of them is in the same province of Canada as myself.
everyone was obsessed with 80's movies, but there was no indication anyone ever watched movies in the oasis or outside of it...
It's highly unlikely EVERY TEENAGER, 30 years from now, will be obsessed with 80's pop culture. Teenagers these days barely care about it unless referenced in "Pitch Perfect" (Basing this on my 16 year old and her friends)
I make a living on story and editing, so it's always at the front of my mind when watching a flick.
If I get mindlessly into a popcorn flick, and aren't constantly being pulled out by terrible story inconsistencies or logic, it can become one of my all time favorite movies (example: GOTG Vol 2. is my ALL TIME FAVORITE MOVIE!!!)

All these things took me out of the story, which wasn't that great anyway...
Yeah it's neat seeing Firefly... Irong Giant... etc...
But that doesn't make a movie.
See, like I said I feel bad for you. I'm glad that I can go to movies and enjoy them like a ten year old. If I went into it trying to find flaws then I don't even see the point in going to the movies.

Loved it, had one thought last night though, if the Zemecis cube sends everyone back in time, and Parcival and Artimis where not in the same clan, shouldn't Artimis have been affected too?
The movie definitely didn't say anything about parties or groups, but I choose to believe that some of the artifacts in game were party-wide. The two of them could've been considered by the game to be in the same party at that point.
I'd probably be on board for a sequel as long as it's not just collect more keys to win the prize. Maybe a deep dive into the culture of the Oasis, see how it is outside of the games. I also suspect that the Wizard/Halliday was either some kind of consciousness/mind transfer or an AI and there's some room to play with that in another story too.
I've never read the book on which Steven Spielberg's "Ready Player One" is based. I had never heard of it until I heard that Spielberg was making the movie. It's half pop culture references (much of it sensory overload, especially since I saw it in 3D), half story of a gamer taking on the CEO.
It's nothing profound or complex, but if you like seeing a lot of Easter eggs from the past few decades - both cinema and music - then you'll probably enjoy it.
