6 Major Concerns From Ready Player One Trailer

6. It's A Spielberg Film (Without Any Evident Spielberg Charm)

When you hear that Steven Spielberg is in charge of a film, you expect a certain level of quality and heart infused within every part of it. However, any semblance of Spielberg's involvement is lost amongst a standard, big-budget, CGI-filled affair, as it feels less like a film helmed by one of Hollywood's finest directors.

Considering that Spielberg used to be a king of modern blockbusters, it seems odd that his presence is so absent in both trailers so far. This may be more the fault of the writing and the trailers hiding some of the film's deeper moments, but the overall lack of charm or deeper joys outside of nostalgic references is concerning.

Yes, what we have is certainly impressive and offers creative visuals, but none of it seems like it's on-par with what Spielberg has continually offered in his previous work. Here's hoping the trailers are just an oversimplification of the film as a whole, rather than an accurate representation of how deep the experience will be.
