The first wave of reviews are trickling in for Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One and although the film falls to some of the same issues the novels have, critics are enjoying it. It is a tale that is overloaded with pop culture references, and an Indiana Jones inspired treasure hunt at its core. The new trailer is giving up most, if not all, of the plot in an attempt to clue people into the amazing story found inside this shell.
The newest trailer sheds light on what exactly is going on in this movie, and tells viewers why they should care. Check out the newest trailer for Ready Player One below:
This is the first glimpse of that Steven Spielberg charm in Ready Player One, and it is great! The visuals are the big thing that stands out here, and for the keen nerd culture fan, a plethora of easter eggs.
When a technological genius passes away, a mysterious treasure hunt begins, and the spoils of the hunt are his fortune and full control of the Oasis. The Oasis is a virtual world where most of the world logs in to escape the bleak realities of the real world. Winning the hunt will make the lucky hunter, or Gunter as the story calls them, a very wealthy person.
Will the evil corporate world find the eggs before Wade Watts and his raggedy team of gunters? Who will find the keys? What secrets lie inside of the Oasis, and what traps has Halliday set along the way?
Ready Player One is one of the most-anticipated films of 2018, and hits theaters a little over a week from now. With Spielberg at the helm, anything is possible. You don’t want to miss out on this 80s fueled trip through the mind of a pop culture fanatic and his virtual world.
Ready Player One hits cinemas on March 29.
