I loved this movie when it came out. It was so underrated though. I'm 54 and this game was a trip down memory lane for a lot of us older people, so yes, it was popular with us too. Great reactions!!!
Don't worry about missing references. They pulled from over seventy+ years of movies and games from Japanese/N. American/European nerd & pop-culture. Watch more movies. Maybe come back to this movie in a several years to see how many references you can catch. Movie suggestions: Back to the Future (trilogy), Excalibur, Terminator 1 & 2 (and no further), Iron Giant, Alien & Aliens, City of Lost Children, The Matrix, Conan the Barbarian, Tron.
The book version of the story is a little more refined, sticking mainly with references to the works of the 1980s and 1990s, whereas the film expanded to include more stuff from the 2000s and 2010s.
If you guys liked Ready Player One you'll probably also like Free Guy starring Ryan Reynolds. Same type of feel to it except instead of virtual reality it revolves around online gaming. Quite a fun movie.
How did so many movies & video games agree to let them use so many characters? Only a big time director like Steven Spielberg can command respect from so many studios.
Glad you guys loved this... You must not miss "Free Guy". It is awesome... you can find similar elements, but there is also "Ryan Reynolds" in it, the best... dont miss it, lovebirds... ❤
This movie is for teenagers? Oh hell no.. this movie is for ppl who have been watching movies for over 30 years. First time i watches this movie i saw about 40 movie references, and everytime i watch it again i see more and more moviethings.
There are hundreds of references in the film, but there are hundreds more in the original novel by Ernest Cline. References they could not get for many different reasons. Cline, who you could call a "professional geek" started as a slam/performance poet doing all sorts of geeky verses, wrote a screenplay called 'Fanboys' about a group of friends making a pilgrimage to Skywalker Ranch to try and see Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace before it releases, and then wrote Ready Player One. Since then he has written the novels Armada and Ready Player Two (which explores what Halliday is in the OASIS, and is currently in development for a film version). The novel is very different from the film...but it is well worth a read. Or, if you like audiobooks, the audio was read by Wil Wheaton. I-r0k was played by T.J. Miller (Deadpool, Big Hero Six) which is why his voice is so familiar. Art3mis was indeed Olivia "Alicent Hightower" Cooke from House of the Dragon. Parzival aka Wade was played by Tye Sheridan, and if you have seen the later X-Men films, he plays the teenage Scott Summers/Cyclops...he can't get away from visors hiding his eyes! James Halliday/Anorak was played by Oscar-winner Mark Rylance. This was the third film he made with Spielberg. The first was The Bridge of Spies with Tom Hanks (which won Rylance his Oscar for Best Supporting Actor) and the second was the CGI animated film The BFG based on the Roald Dahl novel. Ogden Morrow/The Curator was played by Simon Pegg, an English actor known for his role Benji Dunn in the Mission: Impossible movies with Tom Cruise, The Coronetto Trilogy comedies he co-wrote (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and The World's End), playing Commander Montgomery "Scotty" Scott in the Star Trek "Kelvin Timeline" movies, and his small role as Unkar Plutt in Star Wars - Episode VII - The Force Awakens (he was in a huge suit in the beginning). Some references (and trivia): The magic spell for the Orb of Osuvox is from the 1981 film Excalibur, about the King Arthur legends...the Charm of Making. The fancy bladed weapon that cut off I-r0k's arm just in time was the Glaive, a mystical weapon from the 1983 sci-fi/fantasy film Krull. The gun that Parzival uses to shoot Art3mis to save her was a Colonial Warrior's Pistol from the 1978 version of Battlestar Galactica. The thumbs up the Iron Giant gives sinking in the lava is more Terminator 2 than Lord of the Rings. When Daito leaps from his ship and becomes Gundam to fight Sorrento's MechaGodzilla...he leaps from a Firefly-class transport like the ship Serenity from the Joss Whedon series Firefly. The Zemeckis Cube is a play on the Rubik's Cube puzzle (a huge thing in the 80s) and Robert Zemeckis, director of Back to the Future (and since Back to the Future was produced by Steven Spielberg, getting to use the DeLorean Time Machine was easy...plus, Parzival actually drives on in the book, and it is fitted with a Knight Rider red scanner that moves left to right and back, and a space for a Ghostbusters Nuclear Acelerator pack...because Ernest Cline actually created the exact same thing in the real world when he got his first check for Ready Player One, complete with a license plate that reads "Ecto 1". He would drive it to book signings, and even has let his friend George R.R. Martin (A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones) borrow it from time to time. The Holy Handgrenade is a reference to the Holy Handgrenade in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Art3mis's motorcycle is the motorcycle from the anime film Akira.
It's directed by spinburg, so any movie or franchise he had a hand in was a fair game. Plus, being Spielberg, im sure he has big name friends everywhere, so he likely just had to ask.
It wasn't Changes in Noland at the end. It was defeat. He knew once the Egg was found, the contest was over. He could have still shot the kid, but the contest wouldn't have reset. It would have all gone to the kid anyway, and since he would have been dead, with his mom, dad, and now Aunt also dead, the government would have likely seized all assets so they would have owned it all. While he goes to prison for murder with hundreds of eye witnesses. Unlike a remote detination of some bombs you can't proove the owners of.
This movie is amazing, there are a lot of pop culture references, even I don't know all of them. I think you should def watch The Shining if you haven't seen it yet and ngl, i'm pretty new to the channel but the first time I saw you, I thought Anita was singer Elize Ryd from Amaranthe. I'm not sure what the status of it now is, but there's supposed to be a sequel coming out for this called Ready Player Two.
Loved your reaction as always. You should check out society of the snow. It's a great movie and I would love to hear what you have to say about that one. If you do watch it I recommend the original language with subtitles, the acting was amazing
Please Trilogy The Hobbit Extended Edition Of The Adventures Of Bilbo Baggin: (1) An Unexpected Journey Extended Edition (2) The Desolation Of Smaug Extended Edition (3) The Battle Five Armie Extended Edition
I was wondering, you stated you guys are from Iran, are you currently in Iran? I have studied many languages and cultures and I am just curious. I intend to support your channel because I love seeing young people watch great movies.
for series i can recommend quite a few. assuming you wish to stick to live action i recommend chuck, once upon a time, and galavant. though galavant you'll probably have trouble getting on galavant. it is a comedy musical fairy tale extravaganza. maybe checkout doctor who(2005) series or smallville. if you want slightly older maybe hercules the legendary journeys with kevin sorbo. if you want more sci-fi stargate sg-1 is great. i'll stop before comment gets too long
My guess by saying you love the car then you haven't seen Back to the future trilogy. Hope you both one day decide to react to it, It's a big part of American Pulp Culture.

Thank you, we'll definitely check out your suggestions and we'll definitely rewatch this in the future ❤
Yup, and one reference from a movie from 1947, and some from Ultraman, a Japanese TV show from the 1970s.
The final battle with all the avatars from games, movies and anime is a nerdgasm 😁
It wasss incredible
"how did they get the rights to all these characters?" Steven Spielberg himself called all of them and NO ONE want to tell him no
Loll that makes sense, thanks for watching ❤
If you guys liked Ready Player One you'll probably also like Free Guy starring Ryan Reynolds. Same type of feel to it except instead of virtual reality it revolves around online gaming. Quite a fun movie.

@@wadumin Another movie with so many characters from different studios that you should check out is "Who Framed Roger Rabbit".
Glad you guys loved this... You must not miss "Free Guy". It is awesome... you can find similar elements, but there is also "Ryan Reynolds" in it, the best... dont miss it, lovebirds... ❤
Free Guy is a very Goodyear und Fun (Game)Movie.

Yes, Artemis is Alicent from House of the Dragon
You guys need to watch the monster verse movie ASAP, she asked 'who's kong?', oh I can't believe it
We'll definitely check them out soon ❤️😁
This movie is so full of 1980's pop culture references! The DeLorean from Back To the Future, King Kong, rubiks cube, and so many more.😊
Yup that's right, we didn't get many of them though unfortunately, we got much to discover ❤
The voice of Irok is the guy who plays the bartender in Deadpool
Gandhi's cameo was lit 🔥🔥
Hold up she said "who's Kong?'... You guys know that there's a King Kong movie directed by Peter Jackson right?? It's EPIC!!!!
By Peter Jackson???? Ooooh we gotta check that out
@@wadumin yeah it has Jack Black and Naomi Watts it's terrifying and epic and beautiful
I literally don’t 😭
@@Anetkari it's okay... you got another movie on the list then... be thrilled 🦍
@@RekhamRed yesss
It's directed by spinburg, so any movie or franchise he had a hand in was a fair game. Plus, being Spielberg, im sure he has big name friends everywhere, so he likely just had to ask.
I remember seeing this in theaters on IMAX 3D I enjoyed every second of this movie when I first watched it.

I like you both but how can you not recognize the DeLorean from Back to the Future? Next task watch the Back to the Future triology.
Ninjas don't hug... but they apparently sure are interested in kissing. Lol😂😊😊😅❤😂
Now you two need to see "Hardcore Henry" since you like gaming.
Added, thanks for watching ❤
Got this awesome movie on Blu-ray
Pls Continue the Conjuring Universe
Next is Annabelle Creation pls pls
I am 2nd and 3rding this 😂
@rosslad

We'll definitely do them soon ❤

The book is actually a lot better since they didn't have to worry about licensing rights, they could do a lot more.
Irocs voice if you recognize it must mean you know some of TJ Millers works,, most popular in my eyes is Deadpool
After y'all FINALLY watch the shining make sure you watch the sequel too "Dr. Sleep". It's amazing
Definitely, thanks for suggesting ❤
Thanks❤
Please Trilogy The Hobbit Extended Edition Of The Adventures Of Bilbo Baggin:

8:15 OMG.
Trust me after watching this movie i went looking for this game LMAO 🤣😂

When are you gonna react Annabelle Creation movie? 😅
I loved the book as well
Wait is there a book?
I didn’t know there’s a bookkk
really should read the book or listen to the audible version its different in most places
Will do, thanks for watching ❤
there's 138 easter eggs/references in this movie... u can watch it many times, and not get them all...
I saw this On IMAX 3-D when it came out and it was mind-blowing graphics. Watching it without the 3-D doesn't so it justice.
I think you guys would like The Thirteenth Floor
this movie is basically if VRChat was better lmao
Lmao yup
i LOVE this movie
Miss Bollywood movie reactions, saw you even removed most of the ones you reacted to previously, copyright really sucks
It is sad, i miss them as well, i hope the Industry changes its copyright policies
@@waduminthere is also a book which is better
a bit dissapointed you guys didn't get the BTTF DeLorean reference...
We'll definitely check out those movies soon ❤
Please watch Spielbergs "A.I.artifical inteligence"2001, unussual and deep movie, you will like it
Wild and enjoyable movie, but the book was 10 times better. The audiobook was narrated by Wil Wheaton. I cannot recommend it enough.
