This movie isn't horrible but it isn't great either. The idea of being in a video game world was great I was so excited to watch but ended up being disappointed. I was disappointed in the fact that it was ACTUALLY A VIDEO GAME. People playing the video game and AI. I was expecting an average person living in a video game world/universe. So I guess the issue was the conflict of the story. If they just changed what the conflict was the story Would have been alot better. There's a scene or two when one of the players could feel in the game and it's a computer game. Making it virtual reality even would have been better regardless if it was close to Ready Player One. The movie was obviously based off of GTA so there would have been a difference from ready player one.
I did enjoy the obvious movie references and the comedy was great as expected with Ryan Reynolds. They did copy ready player one with the movie references but oh well. Our world involves video games so much I'm sure more and more movies will come out about them that will all share similarities.
