Ready Player One - 一級玩家
Ready Player One (一級玩家) is an 2018 film. The movie stars Tye Sheridan, Olivia Cooke, Ben Mendelsohn, Lena Waithe, T.J. Miller, Simon Pegg, and Mark Rylance. The film is also produced and directed by Steven Spielberg. The movie is based on a novel of the same name. The film did well enough that if the novel sequel is released, a movie will be made too.
In the future, the world is now into a virtual world. Where movie could be made. When the founders of this virtual world puts a game to find the prizes to own the world, it sets into motion the events of the film. The main stars wants to win the prize to make the game free while the antagonist want to monetize the system to make themselves richer. As the two battle it out for the prizes, three coins, they try to one up each other.
This was an interesting movie that takes the world that's former around us today of virtual worlds and escaping reality. With any movie, creating that world and it being all digital is doable today, but should it be done. It started to look like a video game vs a movie for me. But you could say the same thing of an SFX movie like Infinity War. However, this was no Avengers type movie.
