At the point in his career where Spielberg took on the adaptation of the popular novel Ready Player One, he was due for another technological challenge. While not a Spielberg favorite or master work, there is no denying his touch on the movie (without which this project might have been doomed). Although this was a financial success and looked impressive, it got mixed reception and is most likely a lower tier movie by Spielberg’s standards.
