I had no knowledge of this title from literature. It sounded cheesy, but Spielberg's name, combined with the trailer, and we decided to give it a try. So glad we did! It was a fun couple hours. One "beat the clock" or "beat the bad guy" race after the next, with soft moments in between, just enough time to relax a bit then right back to the edge of your seat! Totally engrossing, with a sweet love story, and a tale of friends coming together to do the right thing and inspiring the world along the way. I loved the song choices. I loved seeing so many familiar characters in the form of "avatars". I definitely recommend this film if you're looking for a fun movie with great SFX. If you liked Alita Battle Angel, you'll probably like this one, and vice versa.
