In the year 2044, Earth in the midst of an economic and energy depression, the only amusing entertainment for the people is a virtual reality game where you wear dimensional goggles called OASIS developed by the rich and eccentric James Halliday (Rylance). Upon his death he increases people interest in the game by issuing the players a chance to search for an egg that he has installed within OASIS, and whoever finds it first will win a fortune and his business. Wade Watts (Sheridan), a young, loner teen who lives in the Stacks (a community of trailer homes pile up on each other) joins in the tournament, but will soon realize that the stakes are much higher as others are out to prevent him from winning. He will also have to rescue Samantha (Cooke) who he met while playing the game and has become fond of.
Reel Talk:
To keep it really reel, I have to say that due to me being super exhausted from my weekend helping out at the One Harlem Night play, I fell asleep on this film. But to be honest I was not big on video games of any sort so it may have also been hard for me to follow along. So this one you will have to go at your own risk. Keeping it reel!!!
