Yes, Spielberg er tilbage i nørdet topform!
Steven Spielbergs næste film Ready Player One har netop haft en spontan verdenspremiere ved Texas-festivalen South by South West. Og reaktionerne herfra er virkelig gode... og endnu vigtigere: de beskriver filmen som det ultimative nørdeværk fra mesterinstruktøren!
Science fiction-filmen, der bygger på Ernest Clines bestseller, handler om en teenager, der jagter en skat inde i en virtuel verden kaldet OASIS. En verden som ganske passende er fuld af popkulturelle 80er-referencer... mange af hvilke Spielberg selv har været med til at skabe.
Fans af filmen kalder den for et kærlighedsbrev fra en filmelsker til filmelskere, mens et par stykker synes, at nostalgien alligevel bliver for meget.

READY PLAYER ONE: The #SXSW crowd ate it up! The pop culture references are a LOT of fun, geeky glee to see everything together on the big screen. I just wanted more of the real world & more character backstory. I definitely recommend reading the book first! pic.twitter.com/afGpsxdzr8

So yeah, I LOVED Ready Player One. It’s perhaps the geekiest movie ever made. So so so happy right now!

#ReadyPlayerOne is nerdy as all hell but it’s hard to not leave the theater with a huge smile on your face. Pure Spielbergian joy. pic.twitter.com/7ToMQ7uIdL

READY PLAYER ONE feels like Spielberg watched a ton of Luc Besson movies and decided to outdo them. In terms of pure spectacle, it’s the most astonishing thing he’s done. Never underestimate Steve. #SXSW

I mean I got Stripe, Chucky, Freddy, and Jason all in the same movie so that’s...something? Plus fans of THE SHINING - you’ll be treated to an entire set piece. Horror fans, this is kind of a ridiculous collection of cross-franchise ridiculousness. #ReadyPlayerOne #SXSW

Genuinely still shifting through my #ReadyPlayerOne feelings but it’s telling that some fanboys have already yelled at me for not coming out of the gate singing its praises. That’s exactly the culture way RP1 attempts to grapple with.
