Ready Player One - Movie Review

 

Thought I Reviewed This

I recently watch this again. Thought I had reviewed it but could not find it in the blog. Fun to review it now since I have listened to the sequel Ready Player Two. Even though the movie did not follow the book completely, the movie does end with the possibility to make the sequel a reality. Actually, I recommend you read or listen to Ready Player Two to see if you noticed how the movie could follow the sequel storyline.

Review

The changes made in the movie from the book were appropriate in my opinion. If the movie followed the book exactly, it would have been three hours long. By changing some of the story, it made it a lighter movie with things young and old could associate with. 

Spoilers, one change that was made was replacing Ultraman with the Iron Giant. This makes sense as Ultraman was more 1960s and not 1980s. In the book, a main character is killed but not so in the movie. These made the movie almost its own story as there were additional changes from the book. Both the book and the movie are very good. This is actually one of my new top movies to watch.

Rating

I would give this a UHD rating. I recommend this for anyone's collection if under $10. I picked my HD copy up for $7 (2 for $14) from Family Video when they were in business.

Protecting Your Online Collection

 Protecting Your Collection In this time of cyber crime, you want to protect your investment of digital movies. I will be focusing this page on the primary retailers that connect with Movies Anywhere. At the time of this post, I am only aware of Google and iTunes are the only two retailers that offer secondary authentication. Technically, Amazon offers a secondary authentication with the use of a pin for digital purchases. I highly recommend you use these security feature provided by Amazon, Google, and iTunes. This provides great protection for your collection and any saved credit card information that you have with the retailer. I would not advise keeping your credit card information with a online retailer but I understand it's convenience. With that said, I will point out that users have the ability to removed their credit card information from Amazon, FandangoNow, Google, iTunes (provided you are not using Family Sharing), and Microsoft. This is convenient when one of the retai...

Avengers: Endgame - Review

Movie Review - Spoiler Free I will try to keep this a spoiler free review. First, I would like to applaud Disney/Marvel for making a movie over the 2 hour limit that most movies have kept themselves to lately. The movie would have felt rushed if it was only 2 hours. The movie starts out appropriately timed to the events of Avengers: Infinity War. The movie kept you emotional invested throughout the entire movie. There was some predictability with the story but for the most part, I was able to enjoy the ride without knowing what would happen next. This to me made the movie extremely enjoyable. We get see how the characters deal with the aftermath of the Infinity War and what their options are moving forward. Each character was given their opportunity on screen during the movie. This is obviously easier to do since there are fewer characters after the events of Infinity War. I felt that many characters had an appropriate conclusion to their stories. The movie did leave me with a couple ...

Digital Ownership

 What Is? With the digital revolution, digital media has been sweeping the world. My memory of digital media was back with iTunes in 2001. There you could download music with a touch of a button from an actual retailer vs illegally with the bonus of malware to your computer. I actually had digital music from iTunes before I had a iPod or iPhone to play it on. In 2005, Apple released their video iPod and started to "sell" digital TV and movies. I am not saying Apple was the foundation for the digital revolution but it was my first positive experience with digital media. My first digital video purchase was the unaired Aquaman TV pilot as it was the only place to get it. What does purchasing something digitally really mean though? Apple and Amazon are coming under class-action lawsuits for their digital ownership definition of "buy" an item. The lawsuit stems from the fine print where retailers cannot guarantee you own the product but merely have unlimited streaming. T...
