A fast-paced action, adventure, sci-fi from Steven Spielberg. The action is stunning and the story has some interesting things to say about our modern obsession with online living as compensation for the reality of life which is not always pleasant. The self-conscious references to 80’s pop culture is a bit annoying at times and some of the dialogue gets pretty cheesy. But, overall, a captivating movie that is full of energy, although it could have been a bit shorter. Possibly the best Spielberg entertainment we’ve seen for a while. Worth seeing in 3D if you have the opportunity.
