Sci-fi, virtual reality, and nostalgic pop culture collide in Steven Spielberg's adaptation of Ernest Cline's 2011 novel about a teenager's quest to win a game in order to gain control of a massive digital universe. In 2045 in dystopian Columbus, OH, Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan) is an orphaned nerd, living in "the stacks," a grimy, vertical trailer park. Wade spends most of his time immersed in a virtual game-room called the OASIS, where one can be whoever one wishes. Before he died, eccentric tech-genius James Halliday (Mark Rylance) left players one last contest. Whoever can solve three challenges will inherit not only his half-trillion-dollar fortune but also control over the OASIS, which he founded with Ogden Morrow (Simon Pegg). Wade has chosen Parzival as his OASIS avatar, playing alongside his best friend, Hulk-sized Aech (Lena Waithe), as well as Art3mis (Olivia Cooke), Daito (Win Morisaki), and Shoto (Philip Zhao). The bad guy is Nolan Sorrento (Ben Mendelsohn), ruthless CEO of Innovative Online Industries, who hires hardcore gamers, known as gunters, to follow obtuse clues drawn from memories of every movie, comic book, and video game the socially awkward programmer Halliday ever saw or played. That propels chaotic car/motorcycle/monster truck chases through a murky wonderworld to blaring rock music, along with battles featuring T-Rex, King Kong, Mechagodzilla, and the Iron Giant. This is an overstuffed escapist fantasy, brimming with flashy eye candy and fanboy ferocity, but Spielberg still manages to inject some sweetness, sentiment, and emotional involvement into the story. Recommended. (S. Granger). Copyright Video Librarian Reviews 2018.
