Ready Player One perustuu Ernest Clinen samannimiseen romaaniin. Kirja on kerännyt lähestulkoon kulttisuosion nörttipiireissä.
Vuonna 2045 maailma on lopun partaalla. Ihmiset elävät OASIS-nimisessä virtuaalitodellisuudessa.
Leffa näytettiin viikonloppuna South by Southwest -leffafestareilla. Näytös ei sujunut kommelluksitta, sillä äänet hiljenivät kesken leffan. Ihmiset ottivat kuitenkin tilanteen haltuun ja tekivät siitä The Room -kokemuksen huutaen leffaan ääniefektejä ja repliikkejä.
Sound has gone out two-thirds of the way through Ready Player One and instead of getting mad the crowd is supplying its own sound effects and dialogue like it's The Room#sxsw

BREAKING: #ReadyPlayerOne is currently undergoing a disastrous premiere at #SXSW due to audio/technical issues.
A attendee claims that the audience started making their own sound effects when the audio would cut. Despite problems, a source claimed "nobody left"! 👍 pic.twitter.com/llECVFq0uY

Leffa sai suorastaan hehkuttavan vastaanoton teknisistä ongelmistaan huolimatta.
Muun muassa ohjaaja Robert Rodriguez liittyi ylistyskerhoon.
#ReadyPlayerOne is classic Spielberg fun! What a blast, can't wait to see it again. Rewards repeat viewings. Tons of great references, visuals and heart. So kick ass it blew the speakers!

So, yeah, READY PLAYER ONE is the most fun I've had watching a Steven Spielberg film since CATCH ME IF YOU CAN #SXSW

#ReadyPlayerOne is classic Steven Spielberg. It’s got the references, the ferocious effects and the great ‘80s soundtrack, sure, but also the charm, the heart, the humor and a fantastic Alan Silvestri score. I loved it & so did this #SXSW crowd. Be excited for it! pic.twitter.com/xwPOGwXDxd

I have sworn up and down for MONTHS #ReadyPlayerOne would suck.
It didn't. It was great, it really was.

READY PLAYER ONE feels like Spielberg watched a ton of Luc Besson movies and decided to outdo them. In terms of pure spectacle, it’s the most astonishing thing he’s done. Never underestimate Steve. #SXSW

Ready Player One: Legit great. This is why we love movies…why we need pop culture. Major Spielberg

READY PLAYER ONE is full of giant, dorky heart. I both want to hug it and give it a noogie #sxsw

READY PLAYER ONE: Spielberg’s second Peter Pan picture. Practically an animated movie, replacing Cline’s clunky prose with a free-flowing amalgamation of decades of pop iconography. Dorky as hell and one of the ultimate “Big Kid” Beard movies. #SXSW2018

READY PLAYER ONE: So so so much movie. Sometimes too much but what I kept thinking over and over again was “my kids are gonna LOVE THIS.” It is joyous and thrilling for the people who it’s designed to joy and thrill.
