On March 29, Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One opens up a virtual world called the Oasis — a world where anyone can do anything.
Tye Sheridan plays Wade and Parzival, and Olivia Cooke playing Samantha and Art3mis. The two, along with all of their friends, are inseparable when it comes to finding the three keys called “Easter Eggs” hidden in the huge world.
The person who ends up with all the keys is guaranteed the rights of the company, Oasis, and the fortune of its owner, Halliday, after he passes away, that comes with it. In their quest for the keys, the team goes up against the rival of the Oasis, IOI. IOI is trying to take the keys and win over the rights to the Oasis once and for all. Will they find them all? Or will they die trying?
The screenplay for Ready Player One was very well-written by Zak Pen. It was based on the 2011 book by Ernest Cline. It keeps viewers on the edge of their seats the entire time with amazing, realistic graphics. It’s great entertainment for all ages and it’s hard to find anything not to like about the movie. For all this, Ready Player One earns 10 out of 10 stars.
