So much of Ready Player One is assembled from the detritus of our past that it is less a film and more an overstuffed cultural recycling bin.

Many of the book's references to Spielberg's cultural artifacts have been stripped away, but he imbibes the movie with flashes of colour and heart that rekindle a sense of wonderment that will transport many viewers back to their childhoods.

Intense virtual reality adventure will dazzle '80s fans.

Ready Player One is more like a seven-course banquet made up entirely of Pixie Stix and Pop Rocks-you certainly get a rush from it for a little while but once the initial effect, there is not much of anything else going for it but overindulgence.

Spielberg wants us to drop the techno-gadgets and join hands, but it's the VR world that really juices him. He's the ultimate fanboy making a movie about the need to move beyond being a fan.

Busy and hectic but not cohesive, a game that's nothing more than a game.

I'm sure that some will be more receptive to the avalanche of nostalgia than others... but I don't think one can deny the [film's] comment on the place of popular culture in our lives... [Full review in Spanish]

Life in the OASIS is exciting and wondrous to behold through your avatar's oversized anime eyes, but it doesn't mean much without some real-world stakes, and that's where the film stumbles, badly.
