Critics Consensus

Ready Player One is a sweetly nostalgic thrill ride that neatly encapsulates Spielberg's strengths while adding another solidly engrossing adventure to his filmography.

A heckin fun movie, full of stunning action sequences and laughs and winks at the kids who grew up watching Back to the Future and Jurassic Park and E.T. and Indiana Jones.

It's pure entertainment, and gives Spielberg an easel to prop his sentimental painting on, and all the colors on his palette to do so.

For all its ferocious energy, Ready Player One strikes me as the product of a cinema of exhaustion-it's a film about having come too far and being at the end of something, where extraordinary things no longer mean much, or have become toxic.

4/5

With its daring digital delights and hero worship hurricane of pop culture, this new blockbuster reaffirms the astonishment that made Steven Spielberg a master of popcorn and escapism.

Ready Player One is perfectly entertaining and enticing, but the sum of its parts ends up significantly less realized than its full potential.

5/10

While the first half of [Ready Player One] is all trivia is the superior form of geekdom and awkward geekboy somehow managing to get the geekgirl interested the second half shows how you can form real communities online.

The 70MM was excellent. I already liked the film but seeing it again in this way was a dream, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. :)

Isso é... perfeito e emocionante Eu não tenho palavras para descrever o quanto esse filme é perfeito, eu não consigo dar outra nota pra esse filme que não seja 10, os personagens São muito bons e memoráveis, os vilões São foda pra caralho, a história é muito boa, isso sem falar da batalha final, meu deus que coisa linda, eu me identifiquei com o personagem do halliday, eu era muito separado da realidade como ele, por isso que quando eu vi a despedida dele no final eu chorei, cheguei a ficar uma noite quase sem dormir quase chorando lembrando dessa despedida, o Steven Spielberg ainda sabe como fazer um filme bom, esse diretor é FODA!
