I've been feeling over the past few years that trailers don't often align with my final impression of a movie. There's a real skill to them, and it's not rare that they get screwed up – or on the other side of the coin – make the movie look far better than it is.
What's interesting to me is so many people rip on Ready Player One for feeling like a cheap nostalgia grab. Perhaps those people aren't wrong, but when we inevitably all live in a virtual reality utopia, you can bet your ass it's going to be 100% like that.
I really enjoyed the book, it's Spielberg, and it has Battletoads. I'm in.
