To Watch Today: This Steven Spielberg Sci-Fi Movie Is Completely Underrated But Shows What An Incredibly Good Director He Is – Film News

Six years ago, Spielberg made an epic science fiction adventure that many people still don’t know about. Now you can watch the film on streaming,

When Steven Spielberg makes a sci-fi blockbuster, little can go wrong. He’s been associated with the genre since the beginning of his career: with films like Close Encounters of the Third Kind and The Extra-Terrestrial, the director has created timeless classics, not to mention his visions of the future of the 2000s.

Minority Report – The New Law, War of the Worlds and AI – Artificial Intelligence: all of these films appear repeatedly in the discourse. So it’s all the more surprising that Spielberg’s latest sci-fi film is often overlooked. Especially because in Ready Player One he proves that he is still one of the most capable directors.

Ready Player One takes us deep into the secrets of the OASIS

Based on the novel of the same name by Ernest Cline, Ready Player One takes us to the year 2045. Earth is a desolate place and people prefer to escape to virtual worlds. For young Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan), almost his entire life takes place in the rooms of the OASIS, which he enters through his virtual reality glasses.

As the brave Parzival, he has exciting adventures there. But suddenly, this paradise is in danger of being corrupted. The powerful corporation IOI, led by Nolan Sorrento (Ben Mendelsohn), has its eye on the virtual world and tries to take over it after the death of its creator.

What follows is a treasure hunt in search of three hidden keys that will give whoever finds them complete control of the OASIS. Just like the original book, Spielberg turns this hunt into an exciting foray into pop culture history. Even Stanley Kubrick’s horror landmark The Shining is covered.

Ready Player One is full of references. Here, a King Kong passes through the area before The Iron Giant joins the characters in battle. However, the sci-fi adventure is much more than just an exuberant birthday party. easter eggs in a dystopian setting. Above all, it’s a testament to Spielberg’s skill.

With Ready Player One, Spielberg created a thrilling sci-fi adventure filled with digital worlds

The director moves effortlessly through different worlds without the film losing its strength. The production is fun and, at the same time, direct. One exciting movement follows another, especially when we enter the OASIS, a place that is constantly moving and revealing new secrets.

Ready Player One is the film that comes closest to capturing the sense of adventure of The Adventures of Tintin, in which Spielberg worked heavily with digital worlds and motion capture technology. Every movement of the actors is tracked and transferred to the computer.

Spielberg also made extensive use of the motion capture process for the OASIS’ dizzying scenes. However, unlike many other directors, he never lost track of cinematic spaces and how characters move within them. Ready Player One is a fast-paced rollercoaster ride.

The film is available on Max and Prime Video.
