Ready Player One is the only situation where a film featuring alot of Easter eggs and references is completely justified.
🎮 READY PLAYER ONE (2018)
"CGI slop."
"IP slop."
Many critics dislike Ready Player One, with the usual comments being something similar to what I wrote above. What those people don't understand is that if you feel strongly about a fandom, whether that's a game, franchise, or something else entirely, that's why I, like so many others, resonate so strongly with this movie.
This is my favorite late-period Spielberg!
