Ratings and reviews

I am just going to throw this out there. It may not deserve a full five stars, but it gets close. Definitely rides the nostalgia train through the whole movie and does it very well. I actually kind of loved the movie. CGI was done masterfully, acting was extraordinary, and the premise was brilliant. Bought it as soon as it hit Blu ray. 4.6/5 stars for me

As someone who hasn't read the book, i loved it. Now i cannot wait to read the book. The idea of an immersive VR is so great. I hope to live long enough to see it in my lifetime.

Amazing movie! I've lost track of how many times I've watched it. Jason, Freddy, Spawn, king Kong and on and on. Great music. References to tons of old games! I could watch this movie weekly and be just as sucked in as I was tge first time I saw it! Parzivsl, Art3mis, Aech, Daito and Shoto.....amazing!
