...was the new trailer for Ready Player One . I’m a simple man—if I see the DeLorean from Back to the Future hauling ass and drifting corners, I’m sold. The theater will have my money on that merit alone, because I don’t care how underpowered that car was in reality; in the films, Doc Brown’s creation conveyed a sense of speed that the Fast and the Furious movies haven’t been able to match.

If I’m remembering correctly, I’ve seen the A-Team van, Mad Max’s Interceptor, the Mach 5, Adam West’s Batmobile, and the bike from Akira , as well (in either the newest or a previous trailer). Myself and other oppos with 80's vehicle nostalgia seem like we should be pretty happy.

Really the only thing that dampens my enthusiasm at all is the knowledge that all the driving is going to be a CGI-fest and not done with practical cars. I mean, I guess it fits given the source material, but even so...

A friend told me about this last night. I’m looking forward to it.

that was a good bonus for me to. I though ready player one was going to be like “Gamer’ and pretty much wrote it off..

then I saw the trailer... went: OMG and bought tickets for it :D

The mad max interceptor is in the flick too, then there is Kaneda’s bike... It seems to borrow deeply from everything I love. So watch it I will myself!

Totally agree, I hadn’t been too excited about Ready Player One till I saw the trailer on the big screen, now I must sees it. With that noted, thoughts on Alpha?
