Ready Player One

Description

Ready Player One is a 2018 science fiction action film directed by Steven Spielberg, based on the novel of the same name by Ernest Cline. The story is set in a dystopian future where people escape their grim reality by entering a virtual reality world called the OASIS. When the creator of the OASIS dies, he leaves behind a hidden Easter egg that will give the finder his entire fortune and control of the OASIS. The film follows a group of gamers who race against a powerful corporation to find the Easter egg and save the OASIS from falling into the wrong hands.

The film received positive reviews for its visually stunning world-building and action sequences, as well as its faithful adaptation of the novel. However, some critics felt that the characters and plot lacked depth, with a heavy reliance on nostalgia and pop culture references. Despite this, Ready Player One was a commercial success, grossing over $580 million worldwide.

The film's themes of escapism, virtual reality, and the dangers of corporate control are still relevant today, as technology continues to advance and blur the lines between reality and fantasy. Ready Player One serves as a cautionary tale of the power of technology and the importance of retaining our humanity in a digital age.

Sci-Fi & Fantasy
It's a third appearance of Chris Hemsworth as mighty Thor after Kenneth Branagh's Thor filmed in 2011 and Joss Whedon's The Avengers filmed in 2012. The story of Alan Taylor's Thor: The Dark World is a direct sequel of the first movie and it takes place just year after the events of The Avengers. Now Thor stands against the ancient evil embodied in Malekith and his henchmen. This concentrated evil existed even before the history of our Galaxy has began. And there are no forces neither in Asgard nor on Earth to withstand them. Once again the destiny of the whole world is in Thor's hands. Once again he has to come back to Earth and fight with Malekith. When he meets his passion, Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), his quest becomes more complicated – to rescue his love interest and save both Earth and Asgard. As for ensemble cast it's quite clear that previous movies successes inspired producers to inflate the budget significantly, besides the actors which were starring in the first movie Tom Hiddleston, Stellan Skarsgard, Ray Stevenson, Idris Elba, Kat Dennings, Rene Russo and Anthony Hopkins there some new Hollywood stars: Christopher Eccleston (Doctor Who, Heroes, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra), Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (The Thing, Killer Elite, Faster), Zachary Levi (Stuntmen, Shades of Ray), and Tadanobu Asano (Battleship, 47 Ronin).
