Ready Player One Review: 7 Ups And 3 Downs

2. The Living Easter Egg

Ready Player One
Warner Bros.

There’s one scene you’re going to be hearing a lot about, and it’d be a shame to have it spoiled by revealing what it actually is.

In vague terms, it’s essentially a living, breathing Easter egg - a reference to a movie that becomes part of the plot and a major hurdle for our heroes to overcome. It makes a few changes, but a lot of how it’s done is faithful and puts us right in the mind of its creator.

It’s ridiculously smart, completely unexpected, supremely funny, utterly joyous, and easily the best moment of the entire movie. Read more about this scene by following the link below:
