Si sentiste un temblor en el internet anoche fue porque Ready Player One, la nueva película de Steven Spielberg, fue presentada sorpresivamente durante el Festival “South by Southwest” (SXSW) en Texas, y las primeras reacciones no se hicieron esperar.
La mayoría de las reacciones mencionan la inmensa cantidad de referencias a la cultura popular que contiene el filme –algo que ya habíamos visto en los avances- pero también prometen el “regreso” de Spielberg al “blockbuster”.
Solo faltan dos semanas para ver que tan ciertas son.
Sinopsis: La película ocurre en el 2045, con el mundo al borde del caos y el colapso. Pero la gente ha encontrado la salvación en el OASIS, un universo expansivo de realidad virtual creado por el brillante y excéntrico James Halliday (Mark Rylance). Cuando Halliday muere, deja su inmensa fortuna a la primera persona que encuentre un huevo de Pascua digital que ha escondido en alguna parte del OASIS, provocando un concurso alrededor del mundo. Cuando un improbable héroe joven llamado Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan) decide unirse al concurso, es lanzado a una vertiginosa búsqueda de tesoros a través de un fantástico universo de misterio, descubrimiento y peligro.
Dirigida por Steven Spielberg, protagonizada por Tye Sheridan, Olivia Cooke, Mark Rylance, Ben Mendelsohn, y T.J. Miller, READY PLAYER ONE estrena el 29 de marzo del 2018 en Estados Unidos.
#ReadyPlayerOne is classic Steven Spielberg. It’s got the references, the ferocious effects and the great ‘80s soundtrack, sure, but also the charm, the heart, the humor and a fantastic Alan Silvestri score. I loved it & so did this #SXSW crowd. Be excited for it! pic.twitter.com/xwPOGwXDxd

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

TOTALLY engrossed in every second of @readyplayerone. It is one of the most technically brilliant things I have EVER seen. Spielberg is one of the few directors who could orchestrate this kind of visual symphony that SO many people will enjoy. Pretty amazing.🎮

Ready Player One is a whole lot of fun. Those who are stuck in pre-release hate mode better prepare to be disappointed. #sxsw

I don’t know if I have ever seen a #SXSW crowd cheer on a movie the way they just cheered on #ReadyPlayerOne. We haven’t seen this Spielberg in a long time – it’s just pure entertainment and it’s hard not to watch it without a dorky smile on your face the whole time
