Rules: explain why
Ready player one.
That has to be one of the cringiest movies I’ve seen, is tries so hard, too hard with it’s “WE LOVE YOU NERD, YOU’RE SO COOL FOR PLAYING GAMES AND GETTING THIS 80S REFERENCE” message and the whole “corporation bad, the people good” narrative seems written for toddlers… The fan service feels cheap and adds nothing to the story.
Finally, they trying to make the people believe that very attractive girl with a barely visible red tint spot on her face is “ugly”… Like wtf?
Yet it received decent reviews plus being one of the most successful movies of that year.
Dad dragged me with him to see it in the cinema, saw it once, but never again, it is a well shot and acted film, but I never enjoyed the romance plot.
The sinking in the film was more like a subplot that suddenly grabbed focus in the later half of the film, only to have the romantic plot wrench the focus back and then have a continous fight which plot was more important
