Rating aku? 9.5/10 tak keterlaluan sangat kot and aku rasa memang deserved sebab aku dah jatuh cinta dengan konsep yang diaplikasikan dalam movie ni secara keseluruhannya, definelyt on my top 10 of coz! Kalau diberi pilihan sama ada nak tengok cita Pacific Rim 2 or Ready Player One aku lebih prefer Ready Player One. No offence, Pacific Rim 2 pon okay jugak, tapi cita Ready Player One lagi better. So aku memang recommend kat hampa tengok cita ni. Aku memang rasa nak tengok balik cita ni lol.
