Summary:

  • Ready Player One is a sci-fi gem set in the year 2045.
  • The movie was a box office success.
  • Spielberg's film will be released on Netflix on February 3.

The 2018 movie created by Steven Spielberg is one of the most iconic flicks of the genre. The movie takes place in the year 2045, when the world has fallen into chaos and is likely to collapse at any moment.

In order to save themselves from all of the disasters, humans ended up becoming a part of a virtual reality: the particular game named OASIS.

The game is developed by a genius man, James Halliday, and gives you limitless possibilities that are only cut short by your own imagination.

Sounds fun, right? The perfect way to escape the harsh reality that your life has become is to dive deep into something unreal, but that gives you comfort and hope.

At some point, however, Halliday decides that he wants something meaningful out of this game he created, so he issues a challenge to all OASIS users to find his Easter egg, which will give the finder his fortune and control of his world.

Needless to say, the world becomes obsessed with the game, but only one young man, Wade Watts, comes close to solving the mystery.

However, it is only after succeeding in the first part of the competition that he and his team realize that the OASIS world is much more dangerous than they thought.

“It’s one of my favorite films, Spielberg definitely put some of his magic on it, glad to have him back on science fiction after such a long time. It’s not for everyone, but I thoroughly enjoyed it,” Redditor The-F4LK3N said.

The movie will be released on Netflix on February 3. Created by one of the greatest directors of our time, Steven Spielberg, the movie became a hit in no time.

And the box office success of the film is a proof of its brilliance. The budget of the movie was $175 million and it grossed almost $583 million. The numbers speak for themselves.
