Even the most technically impressive scene is ultimately a condemnation of the film as a whole: it is all borrowed style, no genuine substance at all. Characters are boring, the plot is a basic “evil corporation wants to control a thing” rehash without any interesting twist, and the visuals over-processed, pulpy, and a little uneven. Schindler’s List.īehind the mirage of the familiar characters, stories, and media, Ready Player One is as boring and nutritious as desert sand. The film simply isn’t much to phone home about. Like Indiana Jones with snakes, in Ready Player One, it always has to be pop culture references. Steven Spielberg hovers over a mountain of movies, television shows, video games, and other ephemera of pop culture like so many mashed potatoes, obsessively sculpting them into something that only he can see (a good movie). In Ready Player One, in order to fit all the pop culture references, you’re gonna need a bigger boat.
