    Ready Player One - Movie

    Searched and couldn't find another thread on this so started one.

    Ready Player One is one the best books I've ever read, it's absolutely incredible.
    Review of the book here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNBcu0H-q10


    Spielberg has signed up to direct the movie. Hopefully he'll be on form for this.
    Ready Player One (2018) ⭐ 7.4 | Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi

    Weird. I coulda sworn there was a thread!

    Anyway, yeah, what a great book!
    I'm really excited that Spielberg is directing the film.
    Shame it's been moved back to avoid clashing with Star Wars XVI (or whatever they're up to).

    They're going to have to cut so much stuff though. There's a pop culture reference on nigh-on every page!

    Cline's following book, Armada, is fun too, but has less of an impact than RPO.

      It's been delayed until March 2018 I believe so it's not in direct competition with Star Wars episode 8

        The audiobooks for both Ready Player One and Armada are read by Wil Wheaton, who played Wesley Crusher in Star Trek: The Next Generation and does an brilliant job.

        He even glosses over the part where he mentions "President Wil Wheaton"!

        Well worth a listen to on your daily commute.

          Ready Player One is fun but getting all those licenses will be tough. I do want to see a spaceship in Middle Earth though. Wreck It Ralph started it, Pixels did a bit more, and this will have to blow them both out of the water.

          The finale, too

          will be better than actual Godzilla films if done right.

            Only found out about Armada quite recently, it's downloaded and the next inline on my Kindle to read.
            Other than it's by Cline I don't know anything else about it, on purpose, to avoid any spoilers.

            Yeah I tried this when the audio book was released. I thought it might be cool to have on in the car, as you say on the commute, but I just didn't get on with it. It was the first and last audio book I downloaded, I found out they aren't for me.
            I heard though that is was really popular as an audio book, so I think I'm in a minority there.
            And Wil Wheaton was a great choice, I love Next Gen.

              This just reminded me I need to read the book again. Not sure how well the movie will work.

                    Watched this last night having not read the book. It could do with a bit less cheese here and there but, overall, it's a great nerdgasm.

                      Saw the film today and really enjoyed it.


                      The Shining bit was brilliant

                        Loved the book, hated the film. They took an awesome story, ruined it, and delivered a kids flick.

                          My favorite bit too. Blew me the F away.

                          Not a perfect film but I really enjoyed it. Will definitely get the blu-ray.

                              Saw it today and... it's alright. I'll look forward to seeing a proper breakdown of the cameo's and references. Most obscure ones I saw were for Starfox and Last Action Hero.

                              Take away the pop culture references though and... man, you have nothing. I'd have very, very little interest in seeing the film repeatedly. I don't know how far it strays from the book but the plotting is incredibly basic and predictable. If it weren't for the background watching and brisk pace it'd fall apart very easily. Solid, but not amazing.
