Ready Player One 2018
It's been awhile, but I finally went to see a Steven Spielberg film in the theater which I have not done since 2008. Don't get me wrong I did see "Lincoln" and "Bridges of Spies", but on cable and at home. Spielberg's films are masterful, and when seen on the big screen you know why he is such a consummate director. Spielberg's visuals are breathtaking, and he knows how to tell a good story. He has been a favorite of mine since I was a teen and saw a picture of him filming when he was a teen. It's taken me awhile for me to get excited about a movie, and I have to confess my boys were more excited seeing this film then I was. After all it's about gaming, and what teen doesn't game? The movie is 40% live action, and the rest is CGI, and animation, but Spielberg blends the two so well it's hard to see where the line is drawn. Since the movie is about a fantasy place called the Oasis, and the reality of a bleak future I think...
