READY PLAYER ONE
Video
Official Trailer 1 [HD] 2017
From filmmaker Steven Spielberg
comes the action adventure
“Ready Player One,”
based on Ernest Cline’s
bestseller of the same name,
which has become a worldwide
phenomenon.
The film is set in 2045,
with the world on the brink of
chaos and collapse.
But the people have found
salvation in the OASIS,
an expansive virtual reality
universe created
by the brilliant and eccentric
James Halliday
(Mark Rylance).
When Halliday dies,
he leaves his immense fortune to
the first person
to find a digital Easter egg
he
has hidden somewhere in the OASIS,
sparking a contest that grips
the entire world.
When an unlikely young hero
named Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan)
decides to join the contest,
he is hurled into a breakneck,
reality-bending treasure hunt
through a fantastical universe
of mystery, discovery and danger.

Think of it as the
internet brought to life,
or at least rendered
in 3D.
Zuckerberg has
described it
as a "virtual
environment"
you can go inside of
— instead of just
looking at on a screen.
Essentially, it's a
world of endless,
interconnected virtual
communities
where people can meet,
work and play,
using virtual reality
headsets,
augmented reality
glasses,
smartphone apps or
other devices.
It also will
incorporate
other aspects of
online life
such as shopping and
social media,
according to Victoria
Petrock,
an analyst
who follows
emerging technologies.
"It's the next
evolution of connectivity
where all of those
things start to come together
in a seamless,
doppelganger universe,
so you're living your
virtual life the same way
you're living your
physical life," she said.
