Pop culture eats itself in this deft adaptation of the cult novel into this exciting piece of disposable entertainment about disposable entertainment. To those of us who lived though the 70s and especially the 80s, this is a total nostalgia-fest with iconic figures and objects of the era mixed with some killer soundtrack choices , all used to excellent effect. There are, however, three main aspects that make this movie fly: Alan Silvestri's superb music score; Spielberg's total mastery of storytelling (after some heavy exposition at the start) and screencraft that gives this long tale relentless energy and momentum; and the staggering Avatar-style mo-cap/animation that offers enormous scale, depth and detail. Ready Player One is a total fantasy genre product that is artfully and lovingly constructed to be a superb slice of entertainment.
