    the funny (order thing) is that at the end, literally nothing change for anyone except the Main characters : the world is still a dystopian nightmare where mega corporation control the world while humanity slowly die on the world they are stranded on...but hey now he can be the control obsessed admin everyone hate of a game where peoples will literally gamble their lifesavings for a temporary buff.

      but all those peoples who permanently lost their entires accounts, characters and all their stuff on planet doom will probably never get that back, why? because it would cost to much for a company who own the largest pay2win game in existance.

      Yeah, the book is actually amazing.
      The movie feels like ppl would have figured all these things out in a week. After the first key, they DO figure out the rest like immediately, why did it take years to get the first one?
      In the book, the first key is practically made so that only kids could get it and there's like months between shit getting figured out and everything is way more obscure to where you actually have to be some Uber nerd/obsessed with real old school shit to figure them out. Not to mention that Wade went off the deep end when he fled IOI and was surpassed in the leaderboard.

    Couple things about this movie:
    1. In the books you logged into the oasis with your retinas, making you only be able to have 1 account. attempting to spoof it got you perma banned. (Just got further into the video and remembered the Nolan password part, so ig they changed that in the movies)
    2. In the books hollidude is confirmed to be dead, but the movie’s strayed sooo far from the books that they could’ve entirely changed it
    3. In short, they strayed so far from the books that any explanation I give is probably wrong in the movies.

    11:29 The reason Wade wasn't seen by IOI surveillance isn't explained here, but in the book it's because he leaves through a window and down a less travelled route. The drones don't see him either because IOI planted the bombs far in advance in the book. Seemingly minor changes like these make the plot so unnecessarily convoluted and muddy.

    The reason they went for Adventure as the final key is after Atari's acquisition by Warner in 1976, Atari removed the names of game developers from their products, as a means to prevent competitors from identifying and recruiting Atari's programmers.This also was used as means to deny the developers a bargaining chip in any negotiations. This lead developer Warren Robinett to hide his own name into the game Adventure (1980) in what is now considered "The first easter egg in gaming" as a act of rebellion.
    When Warner made the movie Ready Player One (2018) they stated that Warren Robinet made the easter egg (a major plot point in the movie) because he just wanted people to have fun. Basically Warner did this purely to erase history because it wasn't even like that in the book.
    Also why Halliday avatar just didn't admit everything because he is indeed an AI with a plan to be free from OASIS, and he figured it's easier to wrestle control from hormonal teenagers than the entire Gregory Games. This came in the sequel BTW.

      @TheNitroG1 9 месяцев назад +15

      ...spoken like someone who has never directed or edited anything...an easy thing for directors to do? when multiple scenes of various lengths have to be stitched together months after filming, it's actually going to be quite difficult to make the time match unless you specifically had a plan in place to make the time correct. The good take of this line may be 6 seconds too long or short, or a multitude of other reasons that could throw the time off. Like needing to edit out a shot or insert one for continuity.

    • @inertjohnjunk

      Except something reviewers NEVER consider, is that some of the scenes could be overlapping. There, that's all that needs to be said to explain discrepant movie/real life timers. Does that explanation work for every single case? No probably not, but I'm sick and tired of people not even entertaining the thought for a fucking femtosecond.

    • @Power5
      @Power5 9 месяцев назад +1

      Sure, but you can estimate how long it would take a human to say run a mile to the bomb after their teammate calls out a bomb timer. And in this instance the main characters were in a fight, then rewound time in that same fight to an incorrect time. Nothing overlapping at all. Curious how IOI got there so fast also. Unless they always have 50 random people ready in lobby. Otherwise we see how long it takes wade to get in game after suiting up and waiting in a virtual line to get into the race in beginning.

    • @inertjohnjunk
      @inertjohnjunk 9 месяцев назад +1

      @@Power5 I haven't watched the movie, so I don't know if that entire scene is "filmed" in one shot or not, but chances are that it isn't, which leaves at least one, probably many instances where there could be time-overlap. Enough for 18 seconds? I dunno, I'd have to watch the scene myself to make that judgement, but saying "nothing overlapping at all" without any argument as to why that is AT ALL, does not convince me. At all.
