How to Make Mechanical Paper Models That Move
quote [ I've been on the internet long enough to know that in the interest of realism at least 30% of these avatars would be furries... and some of them would be in diapers. ]

Just saw it because Quiet Place was sold out.
‘Read’ the book on audio on a long work drive.
T.J. Miller is best part of the movie. Should have replaced the villain they used.
Analysis in link is pretty spot on.
Possible spoilers:
Reveal
She seems confused how online RPG’s that have crafting work and makes several points about how an online economy couldn’t exist. WOW and EVE online disprove this. Why isn’t everything created +100 invincible shirt of the gods? Because in most games they restrict the elements used to create items.

They basically changed all three challenges from the book which really changes the 'voice' of what the challenges were meant to impart (in my opinion). Something the above post and movie touches on but doesn't really go into depth is that when the challenge is announced (book) no-one can find the first key or anything even touching on it. The whole event basically comes to a standstill because the creator made the first obstacle too obscure. Similar to the "sword in the stone", it's there, but everyone is ignoring it at this point except the obsessives (gunters?).
It's a good CGI romp but the story will only impress teenagers I feel.
Problems I had:
The movie was PG-13, but in the book IOI throws Daito (represented as an 11 year old in the movie) out of his real life window killing him. I think this would have added to the "rush against time" to find the egg because this company is literally killing you when they find you.
Corporate drones (red ones) can do anything they want. They appear to use them to hunt down their enemies and even plant bombs. It's unrealistic they haven't weaponized them with firearms. The 'bad' corporation IOI real-life foot soldiers are armed and 'arresting' people, pretty sure they wouldn't feel bad about arming their drones.
The cops that show up at the end look like they are literally from 2010. No advanced technology, tactics, or even reason to be there except that someone says they have a "recording" of evil acts... in a world where you can create a simulated room where people don't even know they are jacked in.
