Buy Ready Player One on the Virgin Media Store now or rent it on Virgin Movies from 6 August. Cert 12

In many ways, Ready Player One is the ultimate Steven Spielberg movie. After all, it’s mostly set in a future-world virtual reality created by a man obsessed with the very 1980s pop culture that Spielberg was instrumental in forging.

 

It is infused with the very essence of what’s always made Spielberg great: it’s a rip-roaring, action-packed blockbuster (like his Indiana Jones movies), an inventive sci-fi adventure (like Minority Report or War Of The Worlds), a cutting-edge, visual effect-laden spectacle (like Jurassic Park, A.I. Artificial Intelligence and The Adventures Of Tintin), and it’s filled with the sense of awe, wonder and fun that features in all of his movies that aren’t the serious, grown-up kind.

As the man who gave the likes of Christian Bale and Gwyneth Paltrow their big breaks, it makes sense that Ready Player One features some of the most obscenely talented actors going today, including Mud’s Tye Sheridan, Bates Motel’s Olivia Cooke and Bloodline’s Ben Mendelsohn. So before you hit play on Ready Player One, which lands on the Virgin Media Store this week, explore all things Spielberg with our awe-and-wonder-packed round-up.
