Ready Player One (Another Kid Review)

Editor’s Note: This is another review written by a 9 year old kid. A kid who should not understand 80’s references, but clearly is the product of great parents.

In the movie Ready Player One, Wade Watts (AKA Parzival) is on a quest to find an Easter egg, just like in the game Adventure from the Atari 2600, hidden in the virtual reality world called The Oasis, an online game played by almost everybody in the world. The creator of this game is James Halliday. When he died, he created an Easter egg, and the first one to find it inherits half a trillion dollars and control over the Oasis.

Ready Player One is my all-time favorite movie in the world.

I really liked how they replicated James Halliday’s childhood room right down to the last detail of the TRS-80 computer from the book. There are many references from 80’s video games to movies including the DeLorean (from Back to the Future), the Iron Giant, Buckaroo Banzai, Jurassic Park, and The Shining.

The worst part though is when characters kissed at the end – blah- gross.
