I'm not sure of this movie has been released yet or if I was living under a rock for the past year or so. Has anyone seen it?

Book was a good premise, fair execution. Did we have to have every 80s pop culture reference? SJw to the extreme.  Spielberg is on it, so movie has promise.

Making the movie would be a licensing nightmare.

The movie will be released in 2018. It is being filmed now.

They were able to get a bunch of licenses for the movie PIXELS...

I'm afraid that the licenses in PIXELS cost more than what the movie brought in. I still liked it...

Good book. Fingers crossed the movie can do it justice.

It's decent. Not as great as I was led to believe.

That was my first thought, when I read the book. (Which I loved.)

The book was awesome.  I doubt the movie will be.

I just learned of and read the book earlier this year.

Remember, they need to make it fit in 2 hours or less, so I'm not expecting much.

Really enjoyed the book.  They will have to cut 3/4 of it to fit in 2 hours.  Looking forward to see how it comes out.

That.


Book was pretty ridiculous, but a fast read.  Appealed to my 80s youth I suppose.

Book was pretty good. I tend to ignore these movie remakes.

Also anyone that liked the book should also read Snowcrash.

Don't know what to make of the trailer's race scene...which isn't in the book.

Really enjoyed the book, don't have high hopes for the movie. 

This seems to be a trend with me

A lot of those scenes, I was thinking... that's not how I imagined it.

Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

The forced SJW inclusion was like a mandatory checklist being completed.

Am I going crazy?I could have sworn that there was a movie that came out in the last one or two years  that had a very similar title.

Yeah, I don't know what to make of it.

The whole guys getting into cars thing didn't make sense to me.

It's VR, you don't have to fucking move around in real life to make it work.



I pictured IOI minions just in a giant cube farm doing their thing.

My fingers are crossed, but like everything lately from Hollywood, it'll probably disappoint.

The scenes were intermingled, but the guys getting into cars were the VR aspect, the guys sitting in chairs and going through the same motions, like closing car doors, were the operators.
