Ready Player One

Break free.


Ready Player One
Fast forward to the year 2045, where the real world is a harsh place. The only time Wade Watts truly feels alive is when he escapes to the OASIS, an immersive virtual universe where most people spend their days. In the OASIS, you can go anywhere, do anything, or be anyone... the only limits are your own imagination. The OASIS was created by a brilliant and eccentric billionaire who left his immense fortune and total control of the Oasis to the winner of a three-part contest he designed to find a worthy heir. When Wade conquers the first challenge of the reality-bending treasure hunt, he and his friends are hurled into a fantastical universe of discovery and danger to save the OASIS. This film is releasing in 2D, 3D, 3D IMAX and 4DX. This is the 2D version.

Ilan Preskovsky quote iconReally, this is far from his best, but any film with even just a bit of that Steven Spielberg magic is well worth seeing – though do be sure to do so in glorious, unencumbered 2D. 3D is normally a colossal waste of time but it's genuinely disastrous here.
