Step inside the OASIS in new Ready Player One trailer

The world as we know it is probably coming to an end, what with California engulfed in flame and news about influential figures being perverts, so that’s why we need something like the OASIS in our lives. We can transport into an exciting world filled with robots, elf beings and used Millennium Falcons for purchase. Sadly, that technology does not exist yet, but leave it to Steven Spielberg to bring us into the future with READY PLAYER ONE, which just dropped its brand new trailer. Taking us from the near future and into the virtual reality universe, RPO is a digital wonderland filled with endless possibility, including getting to drive the BACK TO THE FUTURE DeLorean. 

My big fear with this movie is that the digital renderings of the OASIS avatars will dip too much into the "Uncanny Valley" territory, looking too freakish and silly to find engaging. But so far everything is looking pretty great, and even if they don't in the final product, who the hell cares? There's the DeLorean, the Iron Giant, a Voltron-looking robot and all kinds of classic characters in one explosive environment.  That already earns it so many brownie points to make for a worthwhile movie. And was it me, or did I see Chucky from the CHILD'S PLAY movies doing some sweet karate moves? 

READY PLAYER ONE arrives March 30, 2018.
