To be honest, I’m not sure what to make of this film. It’s complete mishmash of all sorts, and I can’t seem to figure what the real story-line is going to be.
The initial trailer for Steven Spielberg’s adaptation of Ready Player One focused on the virtual world of OASIS, and for understandable reasons: it’s a visual showcase for a crucial part of the story. However, Warner Bros. wants to remind you that reality plays an important part as well. It just posted a new trailer that dives deeper into the real-world story, even as it makes a few extra nods to video game nostalgia.
As with Ernest Cline’s book, the story centers on Wade Watts and his bid to win James Halliday’s Easter Egg hunt, which promises both half a trillion dollars and (more importantly) control of OASIS. That, in turn, leads to an ideological battle — Wade and fellow competitor Art3mis are racing to find all the clues before the megacorporation IOI gets them and exploits OASIS for profit. Wade is effectively drafted into a resistance movement, and his moves will have consequences in both VR and real life.
