Greg Alba & Aaron Alexander dive into Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One (2018), the visually explosive adaptation of Ernest Cline’s bestselling sci-fi novel. Set in the dystopian year 2045, the story follows Wade Watts / Parzival (Tye Sheridan, X-Men: Apocalypse, Mud), a teenager escaping his bleak reality by immersing himself in the OASIS — a sprawling virtual reality universe where people can be anyone and do anything. When OASIS creator James Halliday (Mark Rylance, Bridge of Spies, Dunkirk) dies, he leaves behind a contest: whoever finds his hidden Easter Egg inherits his fortune and control of the OASIS. Joining Wade are Olivia Cooke (Thoroughbreds, House of the Dragon) as Art3mis/Samantha, Lena Waithe (Master of None, Westworld) as Aech/Helen, Win Morisaki as Daito, and Philip Zhao as Sho. Opposing them is corporate villain Nolan Sorrento (Ben Mendelsohn, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, The Dark Knight Rises), who will stop at nothing to seize control of the OASIS. The film also features Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead, Mission: Impossible series) as Halliday’s partner Ogden Morrow. Spielberg fills Ready Player One with jaw-dropping references and famous pop culture moments — from the epic The Shining hotel sequence, to the giant Mechagodzilla vs. Iron Giant battle, to iconic cameos like the DeLorean from Back to the Future and countless video game and movie Easter eggs. With dazzling visuals, a nostalgic soundtrack, and a thrilling commentary on escapism and corporate control, Ready Player One delivers a fan-favorite blend of action, adventure, and geek culture celebration. Join Greg & Aaron as they react, comment, and break down every thrilling twist, nostalgic Easter egg, and Spielberg-level spectacle in this Ready Player One Reaction & Review!
