I loved the special effects and the way the characters seemed to come to life while playing the game.

The best this year

I wasn't super excited to watch this film but am really happy that I did. Throughout the whole film I was grinning and felt like I was a kid again with all of the references used in the film. Even tho the film talked about the importance of living in reality, it was nice stepping out of reality for a couple hours because this movie made me feel good. Nice escape from today's issues.

The film was a nostalgic throwback to the 80’s and 90’s, similar to Guardians of the Galaxy and Stranger Things. It was enjoyable with likable characters and an engaging storyline. I read the book years ago and while there were some differences, I loved this adaptation. 9/10 stars!
