Well, just got back from seeing it. 

It was good fun; I enjoyed the numerous little nods to gaming and pop culture sprinkled throughout, spotting them became a little game in itself.

It really is one of those films best experienced on the big screen; the spectacle is awesome, yet never becomes an incoherent mess the way it does in many similar movies. The race and nightclub scenes are worth the price of admission alone.

Don't go in expecting anything particularly meaningful, it's about as deep as a cup, but that cup's full of molten chocolate.

After reading the book no way am I wasting money watching it in the theater. Though the movie might probably have fixed some of the issues I had with the book. 

What issues did you have with the book?

What is this!

Also movies can we stop with the whole 70's/early 80's worship? I mean Bowie has been in like every sci fi trailer since his death and now we have Tom Sawyer lmao

The entire book and premise was about 80s pop culture. 70's and 90's as well

Plus it's kind of explained in the film that the game's creator grew up in the 80s and he is virtually worshiped by the players of Oasis, so they idolize the things he loved.
