Ready Player One has the personal distinction of being the first film I’ve ever watched where I had read the book first (well, listened to the unabridged audiobook…) Due to this I did find myself thinking back to the original and how so much was cut and rearranged, something I’m sure many more people have done to many more films in the past, but overall I really enjoyed myself. It may not be as detailed (obviously) or as… 80s as the book, but it was certainly a fun celebration of the crazy amount of pop culture we’ve amassed over the past 50 years, and in general a fun story to follow. Let’s take a closer look then!
