"Hey, that's a reference to some media that I've seen before!" - the movie.
I CLAPPED! I CLAPPED WHEN I SAW IT!
Me know that guy so me like movie. Movie good because I see something I know.
I made a joke years ago that in the future, we would eventually have "I Clapped When I Got the Reference: The Movie!". Well, looks like the future is NOW!
The worst part is if they said “it’s just a fun movie where the plot is dumb because it’s supposed to be dumb and we just wanted a bunch of pop culture icons to run around and fight”
It would have almost definitely been a better movie
that was the book too
All the anime girls were too busy fighting in the best waifu wars to bother attending the battle from the movie. The furries were all at a... well lets just call it a party.
Lol
rainfurrest 2044 with digital diapers
but in the end they all lost to wario-chan
No, the furries were probably all killed off in what can only be described as a Digital Holocaust
The weebs and the furries had better things to do than play some normie kusoge.
How to win the game:
1. Gather a group of people
2. All choose Godzilla
3. You win
Which godzilla
@@theofficialchannel4439 Yes.
Just become Dr. Manhattan
Saitama from One Punch Man too
Well i mean
How to win the game:
1. Gather like 10 people
2. All chose to become *G* *O* *D*
3: get stonks
“I understood that reference!” That’s it. That’s the whole movie.
not wrong
yeah a friend of mine said it was just pop references the whole movie, it just seems like a dumb teen movie.
Captain america’s wet dream
gabrielle.s
Yeah. The kind of the whole point.
But I thought Wreck it Ralph was pretty good.
Remember commenters, if you have to read the book to make a movie make sense, then the movie has failed in telling the story. The book being good is completely irrelevant in the context of judging a movie
(Ancient comment, but I keep getting notifications, so here's an edit for clarity)
This comment's aimed to those who could defend the movie by saying the book is good. I couldn't care less if the book is good or bad, it's irrelevant since this is for those who think the book is good.
From the amount of comments about the book being awful, I realize this must not have been clear
saying that for years
but theres always someone who keeps bring it the "in the novel explains that..."
I definitely hadn't read the book when I saw the movie. Still thought it was an ok movie.
This and and children's movie that can only be enjoyed by children is not good children's movie.
Don't get me wrong...the book for this was shit too. But at least it had stuff about video games in a video game book instead of a video game movie having only movie refences cause Stephen likes to really stroke his own shaft-I mean ego hard.
They changed what shouldn't have been changed for many reasons and it failed hard. They failed to tell a story that wasn't even that complex.
Yeah but the book was shit
Me being a veteran of the internet, when she said "You wouldn't be as attracted to me in real life", my thoughts went immediately to, "Oh, she's a dude."
Funnily enough, in the book she actually was a dude

Noone drove backwards in a multiplayer racing game, the classic griefing tactic as old as the genre itself.
I guess they dont have speed runners in that world
i used to drive backwards out of fun on my demo game of Speed Busters as an 8-year-old kid. big lmao @thismovie
I used to drive backwards as a kid in Mario Kart to see if I could cheat
I have done that so many times in Mario Kart games.

Very cool.

& Ugandan Knuckles
4chan found a flag in a house in London from the way the light came through the window in about 3 hours, they would have solved the game before it even came out.
Gazelle Samyueru 4Chan found a guy who attacked an innocent with a bikelock just based on imposing several photos from a protest
To be fair they happened to find a video where his mask came off which made it a LOT easier that time
I seriously don't get how no one just data mined the shit out of the files to figure it out. And frankly its stuff like this that makes it feel more like a fantasy movie than a scifi. It has no anchor to reality or even pretends it does. This mind as well just be a story about a knight going on three quests.
Not only would they solve this well before the 5 year mark, they would deliberately sabotage the game for everyone else. The battletoads would become a virtual isis, seeking to propagate the holy land of kekistan. There would be a LOT more pepes.
TBH it is amazing that they spent like 5 years on the first challenge although the whole point is just going backwards.
I am sorry but are they implying that no one entered this race as a newbie or drunk and did not fucked up by going reverse instead of forward?
This movie is full of shit. IRL people would complete the first challenge within a month.
This entire movie is just a display of ignorance towards internet culture and the different types of people who play video games.
There were NO modders/hacks, No roadrunners no one who used exploits. No one who knows how to tech.
Internet sespool*
I mentioned it in another comment, but it's interesting to compare this book to Ender's Game in how an online or competitive gaming community would work. Ender's Game managed to nail it 15 years BEFORE such things existed. Ready Player One was written 10 years AFTER such things had been around, and still failed.
That's just embarrassing. The thing reads like your dad trying to write your childhood nostalgia, trying to poorly transplant his 70s knowledge into the 80s.
@@dorpth while the book wasn't great it's still at least exactly what it tries to be and makes way more logical sense as to how people would've not solved any of the puzzles yet. like every conflict in the book was just copied into the movie but without whoever wrote it understanding why it was a conflict in the book.
also for real these guys don't understand the internet or gamers, like the fuck? after like 3 tries someone would yeet his car backwards in that race
That's completely irrelevant. The film made a lot of money.
Just once I'd like to see a discussion on a commercial release where someone doesn't point to how much money it made as the sole deciding factor of quality. The Transformers movies are objective pieces of shit regardless of how many billions they make.
The fact that they didn’t realize on how quickly people will solve Easter eggs attest to the fact that they have never watch a cod zombies Easter egg challenge. People will scour every minute detail to solve a puzzle.
DUDE. Even Minecrafters are hard workers! They were able to find the exact world seed that was used for a title screen for various versions of Minecraft! They even had a discord server JUST to find that ONE WORLD.
@@dfquartzidn6151 I mean ngl you're kinda underselling how absurdly impressive it was for them to find the title screen seed.
Still a good point though on the amount of effort people will put into stuff like that.
Same happened with the FNAF games. Within 24hrs of FNAF 3 being released, fans discovered all the easter eggs, and they were greater in both number and obscurity.
destiny 2 made a hint about whisper of the worm and people responded to the post with oh you finally going to open that cave section? and like within less than an hour people figured out the enemy they needed to kill to unlock the opening and withing a few hours people had scoured every inch of the instance found all the hidden chests nad beat the mission to get whisper
It makes more sense in the book. There's supposed to be hundreds of public school planets nobody spends any time on and one of them has a secret cave somewhere on it with the first puzzle.
The whole race bullshit was made up for the movie.
Mater from cars would be the first person to win the race
I understand this reference so I liked your comment
Barney TheDinosaur I see what you did there...
Barney TheDinosaur Damn that's a good ass reference, it was better than all of the other meaningless spit out references in the movie. Liek
Holy shit man you’re right.
I don’t understand :(
But Adam, it had a thing you knew, you were supposed to clap.
Mysterious Jojo That's right Jay!
Oh yeah, I clapped when I saw the thing I like. That means the movie is good. 3 out of 5, not enough Knak 2
Pete Wade Im gonna cum!
RIP best of oney plays.
I CLAPPED! I GOT THE REFERENCE!
this movies entire point is "is technology bad? well no but actually yes but actually not really but actually kind of"
It’s that gamers are uh, I don’t know.
That was not the point of the movie. At all.
@@robinanwaldt it pretty much was.
The technology is within this movie ultimately bad because it led to decline of humanity where everyone is just stuck in shipping contairners, the environment is fucked up and if you owe enough money to a corporation they are legally allowed to imprison you and torture you.
The message overall was that technology can be good but only in small doses.
@@HateshWarkio I feel like the lack of laws about corporations (and any sort of intervention) would've been the problem in that case. Maybe government collapsed or something, idk.
but yeah it's a pretty shit "message" as old as technology itself.
@@robinanwaldt In the movie, it kinda was. In the book it definitely was. The dude who made the Oasis was essentially a reclusive beta who wanted to bang a chick but never got the chance because he was too afraid, then became so attached to machines that he lost his sense of humanity. He literally tells Wade at the end to cut off the Oasis occasionally.

"You can be anything you want to be" - Not a single wizard in the entire movie.

The Iron Giant: "I am not a gun..."
This movie: *FOOKIN LASER SIGHTS!*
*I CANT FUCKIN’ BELIVE THIS!*
This is brilliant
saw one guy arguing that this argument isn't valid because, while it is the Iron Giant, at the end of the day it's just some dude who chose the Iron Giant as an avatar. He doesn't have to have the same goals, thought processes, etc that the IG had. Not saying I agree with that argument. Just that it exists.
@@giantidiot31 let's be real, corporations don't care about the integrity of a character if they get money from them. I mean have you seen that god of war guy in fortnite?
@@ThunderWorkStudioAMGE I think they put Master Chief in Fortnite too. And with the current Twitter/Amazon/Apple shit going down, more people are realizing how money grubbing and soulless (read: shitty) a huge majority of corporations truly are. Can't expect the movie or entertainment industry to be any different.
''Oh i'm not attractive, im ugly don't look at me... I have a birthmark...'' I swear to god those people don't understand how insulting and damaging this kind of shit is for people who are ACTUALLY considered ugly by society's norms. this ''self-conscious trope'' thing made me rage so much, me AND my parents
To be fair, everyone has insecurities, even people others might consider very attractive. While I agree how the movie handled it was very stupid (coming from someone who also has a massive birthmark), I think it's wrong to say that just be someone is conventionally attractive they can't have insecurities in how they look. Hell, just look at all the celebrities that are constantly trying to "fix" their appearance when they were already widely considered to be very attractive.
For someone who considers herself unattractive,she is also incredibly good at seducing someone
Half anime girls and half Ugandan knuckles... yeah that sounds about right.

I shut down the Oasis on Tuesdays and Thursdays because reality is great.
-The guy who literally lives in a dystopia
Justice Moore and is now rich and has a hot gf to fuck every Tuesday and Thursday. Not saying its right but now you know why.
"There's great things in the real world, like my aunt and uncle blowing up. Why would I want escapism after that happened?"
My first thought on hearing his reasoning, it comes off less like a regular kid thinking this and more like a sociopath.
lich109. People keep mentioning his aunt but he literally calls her his moms sister. He doesmt really seem to care for her outside of you are a human and I also am a human. And the way her bf or his amd whatever he is treats him who could blame him cuz fuck that guy. Normal People who jave normal relationships with their relatives sure I could see that argument but not here. I would wager that the disconnect is even greater in the book.
You should still feel something though, even if it's just sympathy for the people who knew them. This guy just doesn't seem to care in the slightest.
lich109 he did care but after you realize "oh shit a super mega corp is trying to blow me" up and then instantly get kidnapped your priorities change just a smidge.
I see where you're trying to go with this but its not going to work because youre thinking about your experience with your family and not his experience with his. Uncle sucks and would probably kill him for a big chance to win on planet doom. His aunt threatened to kick him out over taking her game gloves. Would your aunt kick you out over taking her game gloves? I kinda doubt it.
“No one in this American trailer park dosent have a weapon as well” What kind of trailer park is this????

I was really annoyed how conventionally attractive they are.
They were supposed to be ugly.
A little dark spot on the eye of a Natalie Portman lookalike? COME ON
Nati Whatever Well their avatars look worse. Well for Parzival and uhh, Love Interest. I am actually trying to remember her name, I remember literally almost everyone else, just not her. Her character in general was just bland and forgettable.
"Yeah it really sucks when other people are prettier than me..."
LL cool J It's not that. They're nerds. They're supposed to be ugly because that's the stereotype and the author wants to represent them. I've read the book and know the author so I know what he tried to do.
Natalie Portman isn't attractive.

“Take a break from the real world because it’s great!”
Wasn’t Wayne’s life garbage though? After all, he had a crappy aunt who had a crappy abusive boyfriend who lives with them. During the movie, Wayne’s aunt threatens to KICK him out of his home after the aunt’s crappy boyfriend was getting all mad at Wayne because he lost a game he bet money on or something ( I haven’t watched this movie in a long while so I forgot a bunch of stuff) “because of Wayne” because Wayne used the bf’s gaming stuff.
You would think Wayne would understand that some people use the Oasis to escape their crappy lives like he did but I guess not.
Well yeah, but now he has a gf, so not his problem anymore, suck it people with bad home lives. B)
It would be like the protag of a movie being from a poor area, by the end becoming a rich property owner, and for his heroic act at the end, bumps rent prices up for everyone in his neighbourhood.

"how does manual labour in a virtual world make sense?"
Adum's never played an MMO lol
*laugh in chinese sweat shop WOW gold farmer*
Lol.
The difference is that those would use things such as gathering resources, transporting resources over a long way, crafting etc.
Not moving a box from point A to point B that are really close to each other.
Especially in a world like that where you probably could just throw them around with gravity gun or so.

Yes. Speaking of which (on a slightly unrelated and hard to believe note) there used to be a group of people on gamefaqs and winnerforums (the bigrigsforum) who worshipped the game and treated it as gospel, writing extensive religious like scripture and a testement about the game. Apparently it was made by a man named stell who was contacted by the rigs, who were, of course, gods. They called themselves the BROTRRS and the religion rigism, know they were around for at least 5-6 years and never dropped character

people: “SAO was bad”.
Steven Spielburg: “Hold my drink”
When's the vastly superior Abridged version of Ready Player One when you need it?
SAO?
@@kylenielsen5083 Sword Art Online, an anime that did what this movie tried to do except better and more melodramatic. It’s on Netflix. There’s an abridged parody that is better than the original tho
Ok im ngl i hate this movie but its no where as bad as sao
@@ftygdfrygg6622 yeah but SAO, despite its huge amount of failings, still became a global trend. Meanwhile this movie was meh and is barely remembered enough to acknowledge it was made at all. Either way though, the source material or Steven Spielburg dropped the ball. Gamers are some of the most conniving S.O.B. in the world and for all the easter egg hunt clues to be relatively in plain sight AND that no one has been close to finding any of them as Adam says is an insult to gamers as a whole.
10:38 it would be good if they used the fact that she's attractive as commentary about how untenable beauty standards fuck with people, I mean think about it, he could be like "girl you look beautiful as shit, what drugs you on?" and she could be like "no, I'm not pretty, I'l never be as attractive as Jessica Rabbit or some shit" and it can be about how the internet's photoshopping and obsession with fantasy can make us feel like the real world isn't good enough, which is something that's a theme in this movie about being consumed by fiction and not living in the real world, it can make people think they aren't pretty enough when they look just fine
It'd be better if she was just actually unattractive. Obviously people would bitch about the movie not having cute girl, but I would sure make a better point out of "You shouldn't be spending all your time on here and open your eyes to the real world".
It definitely could have but the author is already on the Jessica Rabbit side of that spectrum so.
Hell, the Iron Giant reference also makes *no sense* because in the original movie they say "he hates guns". Cue this movie having the IG use a gun. Wow, movie.
To be fair, it's not the real Iron Giant, it's a mech
The reason it was the iron giant is because they couldn't get the rights to use Leopardon, the japanese spiderman's mechsuit from back in the 80s, which was Parzival's original choice (which he won from beating a 3d version of Black Tiger, which got replaced by the The Shining scene.)
It doesn't The Iron Giant have a giant Blaster arm?
Originally it was meant to be something else I think in the book but they had no license to it. Dont quote me.
Well technically in the original film, the Iron Giant was built to be a destructive weapon, until a rock hit it's head and made it forgot what it was. Hogarth taught him that guns were bad when he had amnesia.
My issue with the ending is that the world is a dystopian setting. He’s basically forcing people to face the horrible reality that is poverty and pollution and shit for 2 days of the week, when most (if not all) people, even dispite the poverty, can afford/have access to literal heaven
The Squad I think the movie was trying to insinuate that the world became dyatopian because no one would take focus on living in reality
*buddy6584*
Which won't change for the better if you force people out of this virtual reality for 2 days a week.
I completely forgot the movie had a dystopian setting and I finished watching it like 4 hours ago.
@@KiwiOuiOui22 All I got from the movie was that the main character lived in a shit dystopian setting every time he took off his goggles. He lived in a multi-level trailer park for God sake.
Also, they SHOWED that some people make like real money, real jobs with that game. Suddently they will not do it 2 days a week, THANKS.
I think it would've been a pretty good visual gag if they cut to the people fighting in the real world without any weapons

The book and movie were godawful terrible, but I think special mention needs to be made of how out of touch Ernest Cline is.
He fails at pop culture callbacks because it's supposed to be the 80s but his knowledge mostly mostly begins and ends at 1977-1983. He's writing nostalgia for 30 somethings with the knowledge of a 40 something. An 80s nostalgia fest with a big chunk of it being about video games, and not one mention of Nintendo? Black Tiger and Joust as the most iconic arcade games? TRS-80 as the the most iconic 80s home computer? No Commodore 64 or Apple II? Nobody quotes any lines from Wargames that aren't from the computer.
Beyond the pop culture, he totally fails at capturing online culture. He has no clue how virtual reality works. He has no clue how internet communities work. He has no clue how people interact online. He has no clue how ARG games play out. He writes the internet like someone who only watched Tron once instead of actually using the internet.
The most fascinating thing though? You compare Ready Player One with Ender's Game. Orson Scott Card managed to absolutely nail how online competitive gaming works: playing against the predictable macro master AI, getting creamed playing your first human after being used to the predictable AI, rush strategies, shifting metas, etc. Card was able to perfectly write back in 1985 how modern online gaming would work, 15+ years before it happened. By comparison, Cline wrote his book AFTER online gaming had existed for over 10 years and STILL was unable to accurately portray it.
That's just embarrassing.
(seriously though, ARG games have been around since dial up internet. How do you write a book about them in 2011 not knowing that some obsessive message board group would burn through any of them in under 3 days?)
Your points are mostly plausible, but Joust was a big part of the book(the first quest depended on it).
He also talks about Halliday owning Apple II's and a Commodore 64 and how the TRS-80 was called the "Trash-80".
I agree with the rest.
Personally, I thought the first key being on the school planet made sense. Maybe not 100% sense, but some sense.
It was just Author Tract: The Book, though, and the movie fucked it.
Westworld more accurately portrays gamers than Ready Player One
dorpth its like you dodnt read the book. the whole point of the story is about the egg hunt, and how modern gamer culture in this world is overwhelmingly driven and influenced by Halliday's interests, which are centered in the late 70s/early 80s.
Nitpick: Wargames was in the book. The second key challenge was basically taking the place of the lead character and acting out every line in the movie.
And in the end, the main character totally forgot the person that looked after him his whole life, died in front of him? Makes sense..?
Well this IS a guy who went "I got a GF, so screw the *entire world*, right?"

THATS WHAT I THOUGHT TOOOOOOOOO
Right? SpyKids 3D v.2.0
SOMEBODY RING THE DINKSTER?!
But better
Imagine you can't move your body in real life, & only in the virtual world. Then imagine some kid went "You know what? You can't use the game two times out of the week (UwU)"
My biggest peeve of this film:
The guy plays Goldeneye as Odd Job with slappers only. For you kids out there, that was the biggest dick move in gaming evah.
I swore at my laptop when he said that.
Playing as jaws is the big dick move, I haven’t even played golden eye and even I know he’s a foot taller than everyone else.
I didn't understand a thing you just said
@@readuth1488
Goldeneye was an old fps. Oddjob is a character in it.
Oddjob is like two feet shorter than every other character, but the aim assist still targets where other people's heads would be. This means you can't hit him unless you aim down, and free-aiming on the N64 was tedious and difficult.
Slappers was a melee only game mode. Keeping everything else in mind, you're now in a setting where you can only damage other players by getting close enough that they can hurt you too.
Anyone who picks Oddjob is fucking scum.
I remember playing with my brothers and we pretty much barred the use of Odd Job (we only use him for certain challenges we make up). Infuriating, but good times.
@@readuth1488 In multilayer goldeneye, Odd Job is shorter and therefore the reticle is naturally above his head, so he has a huge advantage

The Oasis is basically VRChat on steroids.
No
It's the other way around
Not even. VR Chat at least have more liberties than this movie aparently
VR: the movie
VRChat is the Oasis on meth.
No it’s Xbox live
I still find it funny that one of the biggest argument for this movie's quality is there are no furries.
this is like that movie dark dungeon that “teaches” people that rpgs and larping are satanic and/or endorse satanism.
The main character had a BTTF Dolorean. That thing flies. Why couldn't it have just flown over King Kong?
That's what I figured tbh that the car was probably purely cosmetic with its own attributes
I presume there are rules to what the car can be, just like in other online video games.
Can you bunch of tards stop calling it a Dolorean? You are seriously dumber than this shitty ass movie.
@@FoxGHosen26 Oh no, they slightly misspelled the name of an iconic brand of car. How horrible. Seriously, it's one letter off. Everyone knows what they mean. Not everyone cares about vintage cars that, apart from a unique design, brought nothing new to the table and and are only still known today as a part of pop culture history. You call the movie shitty, but you seem like the exact kind of person who would be into pandering and overly precise pop culture references.
He redesigned the Delorean to be a normal car
the most unrealistic part was that people in 2050 still remembered the failure of a game battleborn and wanted to be characters from it in the oasis
There was a battleborn character?
There were Attikus, Orendi, Toby, Miko and Ambra.
Some Random Dude I also saw Benedict in there
Ach yes! I remember now.
How do they run this game, do they have pcs? Is it ran through the goggles? If its on ur pc, why did no one datamine the game and just make a cheatengine table to complete the easter egg
Aparently Stadia gets a comeback after those many years.
As I recall the MC said people datamined the game to know the first key was at the end of the race, but somehow weren't able to find how to get to it.
You fool they run it through *mAAaaaaAgiiC*
I'm pretty sure it runs thru the goggles.
I feel like the slave labour could be cool if they had people grinding for in game items you can sell. Kinda how people in elite dangerous would kidnap noobs and basically enslave them to get fuel light years away from any beginner area.

Why would the people in the 2040s reference stuff from the 80s??
scoop poop boi easy. The director is someone who is badly out of touch and needs to retire. Battle toads. Just gonna leave that there.
It'd called getting old. Steven is as clueless as the movie was.
Keegan Gates
Nice try on bad-mouthing, but the director did *not* write the movie. So...fail, I guess.
because the creator of the oasis was an austistic boy who lived his adolescence in the 80's and when he became a millionair he made the egghunt full of 80's references just because he had the money too, gunters became obseced with 80's culture because they wanted the money and thats it
Because copyright

"Apparently Battletoads had a huge resurgence in the year 2044"
Battletoads is getting a new game this year so I mean...
Then again, if we're going by the movie's logic, so did Battleborn apperently despite the fact that the game not only failed to catch on but the online severs would have been shut down at that point.
This film makes Zero sense on so many levels.
I feel like all any of the writers had to do was watch a GDQ video or some CZcamsr with a GameShark, and then they'd quickly understand that if there's something convoluted in a video game, especially something that leads to a big prize, there is a massive community that will figure it out and they will do it within a year at MOST

DID SOMEBODY RING THE DINKSTER????
Roflcopter_launchpad 111 It really didn't
I think everybody agrees with it
At least in that there were set rules. In this it doesn't make a whole lot of sense, I didn't see the movie but it doesn't look like everyone couldn't just show up as The Iron Giant and wreck the people to stupid to not be playing as The Iron Giant. Or better yet Superman, or some other completely overpowered bullshit. Don't they still retain some of their abilities? I saw Iron Giant shooting lasers out of his eyes.
That, and who could forget the Dinkster?
7:50 funny you say that. The DeLorean, you know the car the main character used the entire film, is perfect for that. He could just flirt over the jump. Problem solved
adam:
apparently battle toads had a big resurgence in 2044

The entire movie was just - "Hey!! Remember the 80s? Remember that movie you liked? Remember Atari? Wasn't the 80s so wacky?!"
This reminds me of a skit on MAD where they were making fun of Super 8 (yeah, me neither) and the ending joke was that Steven Spielberg was stealing the 80's so he could still make movies.
This movie reminded me of MAD and I will never forgive it for that.

I completely agree with everything in this video. A couple of other points:
-If you only wear gloves and a headset, how can the game tell wear the rest of your body is? Shouldn’t you be like a disembodied head and floating hands like any other VR game without the full body suit? You would think that’s why people would want a suit like that, but instead they act like it’s only there so you can “feel” stuff?
-These people all live in these run down trailers and are super poor, but apparently they can all afford a high tech headset. How? And since money in the game is so valuable, wouldn’t you think that some of these people would farm money/items and sell them for real money to get them out of poverty? I mean they are already playing the game nonstop anyway, why not make some money off of it?
-Why is this “Oh you lose all your stuff permanently when you die” thing so important? They clearly establish that you can give stuff and money to other players. So why don’t you buy two headsets?!?! Clearly they are cheap enough for the super poor to have them, and even if they couldn’t afford to have multiple per person you would think the corporation would. Like what about that one guy who had a crazy amount of stuff and sold the main villain that stupid spell thing? Your telling me with all of that sh*t he couldn’t have just made another account and dumped all his valuables there?
-At one point, the evil corporation or whatever chases down the heros in that dance club and starts shooting at them. But it’s not like that place is planet doom, it’s clearly intended as a passive lobby where people can just dance. So your telling me that people can just shoot their guns and murder people ANYWHERE? If so, they why aren’t people constantly murdering each other for their gold? And if not, then why do they allow guns in a place like that? You would think at least one person would want to steal other's valuable loot.
-At one point we see the main character’s friend (no I can’t remember anyone’s name) “modding” the game by building the iron giant. Wtf? How can you “mod” the the game while INSIDE the game?!? Did they build some kind of code modifier inside the game specifically so people could mod it? Also, WHY IS HE MODDING A MULTIPLAYER GAME? The whole system should be broken by now! Who’s to say you can’t mod yourself tons of gold, or mod your own items for free that would normally cost a ton in the store? How is his friend not rich?
-While the Shining thing was cool and all, but it honestly makes no sense. Your telling me that only TWO people managed to: A) create an insane fully functioning virtual reality hardware way ahead of its time B) Create servers large enough to host literally every person in the world playing this game with no connection problems even in dingy trailer places instead of just creating a gosh darn single player game for once C) create literally hundreds of games for the system in the form of planets including f*cking MINECRAFT D) Somehow got the rights to every classic game and put them into their game E) GOT THE RIGHTS TO COUNTLESS MOVIES AND NOT ONLY PUT THEM INTO THE OASIS, BUT LITERALLY MADE THEM INTERACTIVE GAMES ON THEIR OWN!!! Seriously he’s talking about “documenting” them, but how hard would it have been to just let the movie play on it’s own? Isn’t that ruining the “documenting” part by changing it? And even if you assume that they only did this for The Shining because of the challenge or whatever, then your telling me not one of the billions and billions of people decided they wanted to watch the shining before then? They theorize that they might need the first key to unlock the other challenges, but they never actually confirm you need to get the keys in order. And honestly the amount of stuff these two guys somehow built on their own is ridiculous enough without them also putting interactive freaking movies in there. And that’s not even mentioning how he somehow cataloged literally all of his life experiences from a third person view. Like seriously was there a camera watching him his entire life?
-One more tiny thing: so your movements in the game are controlled by your movements in real life right? We even see the shaking and stumbling of the truck affecting the main guy's movements in game unintentionally. So what would happen if you climbed a flight of stairs in real life while in the game? Would you just look like your climbing air and fly up into the air in the game? Seems like an easy way to farm coins safely from above lol. Also wouldn’t like climbing stairs in game be impossible without real life stairs conveniently being in the exact same place that the game’s stairs are? Overall the whole moving in real life thing seems extremely silly when you thing of all the exploits it could cause, like riding an elevator in real life to shoot straight into the air, or climbing into the basement to clip into the floor.
Overall the movie is nice enough, but it’s so contrived and ridiculous it’s impossible to take it seriously even as a “turn your brain off” movie. I’ve been thinking all this stuff ever since I saw the movie and this is only the tip of the iceberg. Between these problem and the ones mentioned in the video, there are just way to many problems with this movie for what it is, and in the end it just amounts to an hour and a half of “hey don’t you remember that? Wow the 80’s sure were great!” And “Wow look how hip and cool we are we sure do know gaming culture am I right guys?”. Still, if be lying if I said that I didn’t enjoy it, because I honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen a movie with this many plot holes and inconsistencies. Not to mention such an absurd misunderstanding of how game development and games in general actually work. Anyways this comment is already way too long and I don’t know how to end it so byyeeee
Random Person this comment alone was as good as adums entire review
Thank you! I was just ranting mostly I didn't expect anyone to actually see this haha. I was just so surprised that this review basically said everything that I was thinking about this movie, and the more I thought about it the more I realized that the review was only the tip of the iceberg.
Random Person A COUPLE
In the book, the headsets aren't cheap. The only reason the main character had one was that the Oasis School sent him one. I don't know if the school was a thing in the movie. He was so poor that he couldn't leave the world that the school was on.
Yes the game can be modified. Many players create their own worlds. I think the Iron Giant is like a mount/ride thing. I dunno.
The Oasis isnt just a game, it has become their Internet. Like how anyone can build their own websites, people can build their own worlds, like I said before.
The movie seems to explain movement in the Oasis horribly. Most people have headsets and gloves: headsets track eye movements and the gloves track motion control, which causes the avatar to do any movement the player wants. The big corporation probably has headsets, treadmills, bodysuits, and rigs. The employees would use whatever they might need, whenever. The rigs kinda work like those 'rollercoaster rides" that you would sit in and make you think you are on a ride.
All of this was unneccesary and probably unwanted, but it should have been explained in the movie. I haven't watched it, and from the reviews, I will never watch it. Read the book. Its long and drawn out at times, but it explains the Oasis and the world MUCH better than the movie.
Morgan Heffernan The Oasis School was never mentioned in the movie. The movie made it seem like literally EVERYONE had a headset, and that all the poor people used the Oasis to escape the horrible reality they were living in.
The movie never really explained mods. They simply had one scene where Wade's friend explained that he built stuff in the game for money. Considering that they called it "modding" , I assumed that it worked just like when you modded any other game: you can basically do or make whatever you want, provided you have the skill to do so.
The Oasis being more of a hub makes a lot more sense. It's more like they created a console that others populated with games. However, the movie never mentions that other people can or did create world in the Oasis. The make it seem like 2 people created literally everything in the Oasis. While a lot is explained in the book, I based my argument on the movie, so I believe that the points I mentioned before still stand.
Movement in the movie is never explained. It is simply shown. It is heavily implied movement in real life = movement in the game. In the movie, it showed Wade having an omni-directional treadmill, which is fine. But the movie seemed to constantly break it's own rules. In one scene crowds of people are running across the street in REAL LIFE to join in on the huge battle at the end, yet in another someone is able to control their avatar while sitting in a chair. The movie seems to act like movement in the Oasis is the exact same as movement in modern day VR, which as you can imagine causes a lot of problems. At one point, you start to wonder how Wade is doing all those intense action moves and back-flips that he does in the Oasis in real life. I don't know how the technology works in the book, but just imagine that everything that everyone does in the Oasis is done using the VR headsets and controllers that we have right now. Doesn'y make sense? Exactly.
Most books do a better job of explaining their worlds than movies do, especially since they aren't restricted to an hour and a half. For example, most of the problems in the Hunger Games YMS review were explained in the book. Still, as I was judging the movie based on the movie, not the book, I think my arguments still stand. Believe it or not, I actually have the book. I didn't buy it- someone gave it to me. I never found the time the time to read it before I saw the movie, and after I saw it I didn't really have any interest in it. I have checked out the first few pages, and while some things interested me (reading about Wade's crazy family who was never mentioned in the movie) some things also greatly bored me (having to read every detail about the video Halliday made with a bunch a references to things I had never heard of). I had tried reading some reviews fort he book, but most just talk about all the "geeky" references he makes. I'm not really the target demographic for this book: I never really grew up with the 80s and I don't consider myself a geek. Considering that I've already seen the overall story from the movie, and I won't get most of the references, is there any reason that I should read the book, other than just having some things from the movie explained? I am a big reader, but i'm not a huge book critic. If a book is above average, or even average, I will probably enjoy it. Still, i have a pretty big backlog of books right now. Unless I burn through all the other books I have, and then am put into a situation where I need a book in order to pass the time, then I probably won't be reading it anytime soon.

To me, this movie was just Steven Spielberg saying: "Hey, i'm a millionaire, time to spend it all so i can see Chucky vs. A T-rex."
Wowza Bowza most accurate comment here
Is that not what you would do with millions of dollars?
Granted, I'd buy a batsuit and batmobile and pay some celebrities to fight for my amusement first, but that is a close second.
The best thing about spielberg and this movie is the fact that he once said that once you pick up the controller, your heart shuts down, that games cannot evoke any kind of emotion.
Who let him direct this movie?
Steven Spielberg's a Billionaire, not a Millionaire. Plus most of the IP's were Warner Bros who funded the movie, so it didn't cost them anything.
One of Swedens most famous game reviewers loved this movie and called it one of the best movies of 2018. He has reviewed literally hundreds of games and not once did he question any of the non-existent video game logic in this.
