Great review . I just saw this movie last night and agree it is definitely worth watching. You know so much more about gaming than I do so I appreciate the real world examples (EA) to bring it even more to life.
There were a few things that bugged me about the movie like how the threat of any real danger was childishly fake. Reminded me of kids movie "danger" like 3 ninjas or blank check. This was especially evident when Wade takes absolutely no time to mourn the death of his aunt or when Nolan goes into the Stacks with a gun and everybody steps aside. As if there is going to be no one else with guns in the ghetto in 30 years.
Anyway, great movie, the oasis was mind blowing. Loved the story, good characters, T.J. Miller as the bad guy, I mean, I really didn't want it to end. I loved the adventure
P.S. I'm still butt hurt about Firefly too bro
