Ready Player One is lots of fun

I recently saw Ready Player One and enjoyed it very much. While it doesn't slavishly follow the book, that's not necessarily a bad thing, as the movie brings some better story ideas into the mix (as well as cutting down on a lot of unwieldy narrative that the book had). It still retains a great and epic sense of wonder, which I think is due in large part to the director, some dude you might have heard of by the name of Steven Spielberg. :)

I liked the actors playing the leads, and the time spent in the virtual world is mesmerizing to look at (the sequence in the Overlook Hotel was a nice surprise to this horror fan). This was a genuinely fun movie overall and is highly recommended.
