Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over
Movies Like Ready Player One
Okay, so this is a blast from the past. Chances are, you’ve probably already heard of Spy Kids – the two kids who discover their parents are spies, and then they become spies themselves and fight those human hand… things.
Weird times. The third film continues their undercover adventures, with Carmen Cortez having gone missing after her mission went wrong. In an attempt to find her, Juni Cortez returns to the spy organization to enlist on a new mission and find his sister.
His search leads him to a virtual reality-based video game, Game Over, where players must beat the “unwinnable” fifth level to escape. Carmen and Juni must pass through death-defying stages filled with different obstacles and put a stop to the evil villain, Toymaker.
While Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over might not hold a candle to Ready Player One, it’s still interesting to see the difference between how we view virtual reality between then and now.
