Yesterday I rewatched Ready Player One, and it’s still a great movie. Like unexpectedly great. There have been many futuristic action movies and movies about VR or tech worlds, but I love the adventure essence of it.
First of all, the soundtrack is GREAT, and the exposition they used to explain it wasn’t even clunky; lots of 80s bangers setting the mood.
I also love how full of niche trivia and references the film is. Because of the way they set up the film talking about the creator of the VR world’s favorite books, films, and music, they constantly reference and even go into other media within the game, which, as someone who loves making a niche reference, I enjoy immensely.
Ultimately, I just really like the story and the characters, and it continues to hit me and make me sentimental to enjoy the world building (even if it’s set a little too near in the future for my liking; I don’t like to think of all the change happening within my lifetime).

Thanks for reading!
