![]() ![]() At two hours twenty minutes, I can understand why some elements had to be slimmed down for time. It’s hard to imagine this movie without this sequence, and this is another key-puzzle replacement that I thought worked very well, while staying true to the spirit of the original puzzle.įinally, another major change some are complaining about is that Ogden Morrow, Halliday’s old partner, is seldom seen in the movie while he has quite a major part in the original book. The best part of the sequence is following H, a character who has never seen the film, and keeps getting surprised by its more horrible elements. Again, this would have fallen pretty flat onscreen, and what we got instead was arguably the best sequence of the entire movie, a walk through The Shining that seamlessly blends CGI, sets and old footage into a truly amazing love letter from Spielberg to his mentor Kubrick. ![]() ![]() The long and short of it in the book is that Parzival had to essentially act out the entirety of Wargames, proving just how dedicated he is to ‘80s pop culture. The second key is dramatically changed as well. ![]()
