O tomto filmu

Akční sci-fi dobrodružství „Ready Player One: Hra zacina“ natočil režisér Steven Spielberg podle kultovní stejnojmenné knížky, kterou napsal Ernest Cline. Odehrává se v roce 2045 ve světě stojícím na pokraji chaosu a zhroucení. Lidé si ale dokázali najít spásný únik – rozsáhlý vesmír virtuální reality, OASIS, který vytvořil současně nadaný i excentrický James Halliday (Mark Rylance). Když umře, zanechá po sobě obrovské bohatství. To dostane ten, kdo první najde digitální „Velikonoční vajíčko“, které ve světě OASIS někde ukryl, a tím vyvolá celosvětové soutěžní šílenství. Když se do soutěže zapojí i nečekaný mladý hrdina Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan), strhne ho vzrušující honba za pokladem bořící hranice reality úžasným vesmírem plným tajemství, objevování a nebezpečí.

Hodnocení a recenze

I loved the book, so I went to watch RPO in theaters at the release. I never expect the movie to be as good as the book, but this movie just screws up in all the worst ways. The fact that a few people fell asleep midway through says it all. The most significant parts of the story are left out, while all the scenes with action are kept in without much context. Almost every story element is out of order and the character depictions poorly resemble the original book versions. Just a disappointment.

This is actually a lot of fun. I don't know if it will hold up over time as reference movies are becoming a genre, but in my opinion this was a lot of fun. The references felt genuine in context with the game and the movie still holds up without needing to rely on it. If I hadn't seen Space Jam 2, Rescue Rangers, and many others since I'd probably give this a 4.

I loved the book so much and hated the changes in the film. Understanding that there was a need to cut time down to tell the story, I just thought it took too many freedoms to do so while sharing a different telling of the story. That said, I'd watch it again and maybe grow to enjoy it for the cinematics but do yourself a favor and read the book. Or listen to it with Will Wheaton who did a phenomenal job!
