Ready Player One: Modern Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (may contain spoilers)

Fast paced fantasy action adventure - directed by Steven Spielberg.

Set in the near future where everyone is dominated by a virtual reality game called 'The Oasis', society wants to escape the harsh real world. The Oasis game involves solving three puzzles, find three keys, locate the golden Easter egg, and ultimately win control of Oasis and a huge cash reward. Look out for 100's of old film and video game references while the game is played out.

The final morality test is the winner's refusal to sign the Oasis ownership contract just like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory concluding theme.

The film also appears to be currently relevant as we are already in a time where virtual reality games exist, and we are in a time where BIT coins are already becoming popular.

I viewed in 2d but suspect the 3d option would present some amazing depth. However, don't expect much more than popcorn entertainment.

7/10
