Oh wow, I just watched this movie and what a ride! I thought it was just going to be some whiz bang CGI orgy, which it kinda was, but the premise of the movie totally was about that and virtuality. Here is the trailer:
The characters in this movie are extremely well developed. Each of the real life characters has an avatar in a virtual reality game called The Oasis which is a global MMC. There is corporate greed and ruthlessness, a love story, a story of camaraderie and heroism, and the effects are AWESOME. They even have the proper 1980s soundtrack selections. In the virtual world, you have powerups, artifacts, secret places, and the object is to find 3 keys. The finder of the three keys becomes the ruler of The Oasis and becomes the owner of the corporation which created it (trillions and trillions valuation).
I was pleasantly surprised to see Mecha Godzilla, the DeLorean from Back to the Future, characters from familiar cartoons, and references to the coolest movies ever made. This movie is for boomers and millennial alike.
Must see!
