I love Ernie Cline's book "Ready Player One", first and foremost you should know that before reading further.  It meant something special to me the first day I read (and finished, because I seriously couldn't put the damn thing down) it, and it's more so now I think.  If you didn't appriciate the novel for what[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] This review is SPOILER FREE. Ready Player One isn't an instant Steven Spielberg classic, but it is a ton of fun to watch, and the pop culture shoutouts aren't obnoxious.

Yeah so I personally am more than a little excited for Ready Player One, as you may have gathered from the numerous pieces I've done covering the ramp up to tonight's premiere at South By Southwest (SXSW), and world opening on March 29th.

We had a brief teaser of 1980s technology before the show kicked off with a first look at Steven Spielberg's adaptation of Ready Player One.
