Ernest Cline, Armada 50 likes Like Shit' I heard Diehl shout over the comm. Cline also reportedly is working on a Ready Player One sequel, another predictable development. Armada by Ernest Cline 114,852 ratings, 3.54 average rating, 13,945 reviews Open Preview Armada Quotes Showing 1-30 of 187 I’d spent my entire life overdosing on uncut escapism, willingly allowing fantasy to become my reality. Therefore it should come as no surprise that Cline's other, very similar work will also head for the big screen. Whatever one may think of Ready Player One, there's no question that it's on its way to become a big international hit. It doesn't sound like Armada will stray very far from the same basic formula, though there's always the possibility that future script drafts will find a way to put a novel twist on the story's central elements. Some have complained that the movie adaptation of Ready Player One leaned too heavily on nostalgic reference, while others have bemoaned the rather vanilla nature of the lead character played by Tye Sheridan. As has become clear from his literary output thus far, Ernest Cline really loves pulling together his various pop culture influences into narratives involving young video game loving male heroes on epic quests. ![]() ![]() What creates this insanity?
