The paradigm of material being cut from a book to fit into the run time of a movie doesn't really apply here because next to nothing from it happens in the film. It bares little resemblance to the book at all and is completely shallow for it. Conservatively I'd put it at 10% of the book translated to the screen in a recognisable form.

It should be "Inspired by" rather than "Based on" however I didn't find it that inspired at all. It's unbelievable to me that Cline himself handled the screenplay, at least in part. People that love the film will be thoroughly disappointed by the book, especially the PG-13 crowd the film brought in.

The Oasis itself was done an utter disservice by portraying it as basically just a game, it was so much more than that.

Disappointing.

@majormercyflush my thoughts exactly, was super dissapointed with what they did with the oasis and how easy it was to get that first key.

Films of this genre are better enjoyed when not over thought over nor over scrutinised. To be fair I think enjoyment was the goal in making this film and I for one had a bunch of fun watching it a couple of years ago, gonna watch it again tonight.
