It's a highly entertaining visual spectacle that blends together virtual reality, pop culture, and gaming, but the movie does so in a way that is not as nearly as obnoxious as the book.

I'm a YUGE fan of 80s pop culture, but there are parts where Cline goes overboard. He just lists a bunch of 80s songs, movies, and TV shows, as if simply knowing a lot about them is a virtue in itself.

The movie's biggest weakness is that it trivializes the importance and scope of the OASIS, compared to its portrayal in the book. This diminished the importance of Halliday's contest and made the movie less dramatic than it should have been.
