Read the book a couple weeks ago while the power was out. Interested to see how it will translate into film.

Will report back.

Update:
And I’m out!


Made it an hour. Nope. Can’t do it. The characters have been made either flat, stupid, or annoying and everything I liked about the book is missing. The heart of the story is gone. The Oasis looks too animated/cgi. I can’t lose myself in the movie because my brain won’t shut up about everything that is wrong. Ugh.

Maybe if I hadn’t read the book the movie would be enjoyable?
