There's a pretty comprehensive one in this month's Empire magazine (the one with The Preadator on the front cover). Get on it.

Finally watched this yesterday and it’s an awesome movie! Even better than I expected. And it was cool seeing all the nostalgic characters. The Atmos track was top notch as well.

I was wondering if anybody else is asking this same question:

[Show spoiler]How did Samantha (Art3mis) know that Sorrento had used the cataclyst? She was not in the game at the time he did this and there was no place that I saw that she spoke to anybody before the others picked her up.

I've already reviewed the movie content earlier in this thread, so there's no need to go back through that again. I enjoyed Ready Player One just as much on Blu-ray, and I'm having a lot of fun with the extras now.

I feel as though I should watch this movie in slow motion just to catch each and every reference.

So, will the estate of Miguel Ferrer get a cheque for Mendelsohn's imitation of his voice/cadence?

Otherwise, decent flick.

I got this, thanks a lot for the generosity!

[The Great Owl]

I like how

[Show spoiler]the birthmark shows up on Art3mis's face in the final battle, after Samantha has met Wade in person, and after she killed Mechagodzilla.

I didn't catch that during my first viewing, but I noticed it the other night.

Finally watched this. As a fan of the book, I got distracted halfway through the movie, because they'd obviously created a new second half, plus they didn't get to delve into the backstories of the rest of the gang. I'm afraid I didn't enjoy this as much as others did, but not so much because of the story change. I got a little frustrated with Wade not being smart, starting with admitting his name at the dance. But I get that he's "just a kid". I loved Mark Rylance's take on Halliday tho', and seeing Simon Pegg in the movie - with an American accent - was a complete and satisfying surprise to me! I need to see this again in a month or two, get away from my baggage expecting it to be more like the book. I might enjoy it a little more the second time through.

Are the discs in this set all equal in quality to their American counterparts?

No reduced quality audio or picture to fit French audio?

All the same bonus features?

All text/titles in the film still in English?

The French UHD has English and French Dolby Atmos with a Dolby TrueHD core, the 2D Blu-ray has French Dolby Atmos with a Dolby TrueHD core, English Dolby Atmos with a Dolby Digital Plus core and English and French DTS-HD MA, the 3D Blu-ray only has English and French DTS-HD MA.

Does the bold mean that is different from the specs on the US disc?

Yes, the US release has a Dolby Atmos track with a Dolby TrueHD core. It's also in bold because the English track didn't get the best treatment.

Recently saw RPO on Blu. As an '80's kid and a fan of video games, movies, music (especially '80's), and pop culture in general - this movie was amazing. I typically don't like obvious CGI in films, but since the movie was essentially one long video game (for the most part) it worked great here.

The story was interesting as well. This is definitely a movie I will need to revisit several times, to take it all in. Kudos & well-done.

Here's an interesting list of some/most?! of the pop culture references - many of which I missed, since everything went by so fast:

Nope the above list doesn't include a Krull (1983 sci-fi/fantasy film) reference; there was a scene in RPO when a character used the "Glaive" (the five pointed throwing weapon, featured on the film's poster) to fight someone.

If I could find the man who is responsible for the decision to put three stickers on the slipcover for this release, I would give serious consideration to ripping his throat out and leaving his lifeless corpse in the hot desert sun for all the carnivorous wildlife of the western United States to pick apart, piece by stinking, odious piece.

I suspect that this man is an agent of evil, possibly working under the auspices of the devil, in preparation for the coming of the Antichrist.

...I really believe that.

[formula_nebula]

Never a dull moment with you Ray.

Hairdryers do wonderful things.

Loved the book, loved the film. I’ll probably pick this up Black Friday
