I'd rate it a 10/10. Just flawless.
Probably the best I have seen till date.
Thanks Team Shawshank!

- Latest Review: Roadmap to the End of Days by Daniel Friedmann
The movie I just saw was "Ready Player One" (rated PG) which I thought was fantastic! Like a lot of us, I grew up playing the video games back in the late 70's, 80's and 90's (yes, I'm older) that inspired the movie. I read the book first at the recommendation of one of my brothers, then went to see the movie just like I did way back when Star Wars debuted. It was great fun. It really gets you thinking about the possibilities available with VR (virtual reality). Entire worlds of imagination open up when you think about it, things I'd really like to try, places I'd really like to go. Experiences wouldn't be limited by the size of your wallet and your ability to travel in the real world. My wife is handicapped, so we don't really travel very far, and VR has the capability of opening up a massive world to you despite any limitations. The movie also addressed some of the pitfalls of VR, loss of social contact with real people, lack of social skills, the failings I see in a lot of the younger generation around us.
Anyway, if you like video games go see the movie! You'll really like it. The book is well written too. I also read his second book "Armada" which is a revisit of "The Last Starfighter" theme, but it wasn't as well written as his first book. It needed deeper character development.
Cheers!

I think it's rated pg. There are some really scary spots with the wolves that I would protect young children from.

Actually this film was not based on the book, as it predated the book by a year, but was another look at Wilberforce that focused more on how he was influenced by Newton. I would rate it 4 stars as a well-done historical drama.
