Halliday: If you all wanna reach under your seats, you'll find that there's nothing there. [Audience laughs after bending down]. But we're gonna each, we're gonna bring you one now. (00:07:45)

Wade Watts: I was born in 2027. After the Corn Syrup Droughts, after the Bandwith Riots. After people stopped trying to fix problems and just tried to outlive them. My parents? They didn't make it through those times, so I live here in Columbus, Ohio with my Aunt Alice. In 2045, Columbus is the fastest-growing city on Earth. It's where Halliday and Morrow started Gregarious Games. These days, reality is a bummer. Everyone's looking for a way to escape, and that's why Halliday... That's why he was such a hero to us. He showed us that we could go somewhere without going anywhere at all. You don't need a destination when you're running on an omnidirectional treadmill with quadraphonic pressure-sensitive underlay. James Halliday saw the future. And then he built it. He gave us a place to go. A place called... the OASIS. (00:02:15 - 00:03:30)

Trivia: In the video that Halliday left behind after his death, you see floral arrangements around his coffin that are in the shape of the Star Trek's Federation symbol and one of the Enterprise. But the really cool thing is his coffin is actually a photon torpedo, exactly like Spock was put in after his death at the end of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Complete with the blue Federation flag draped over the end of it. (00:08:05)

Ready Player One (2018)
Trivia: When Wade is talking about how when you die in the game, you lose everything you ever worked for, there is one shot of a little girl throwing her OASIS goggles off and screaming in a fit of rage. Behind her on the wall is a poster for the 1982 game, Donkey Kong Junior. Also behind her you can see a blue Care Bear plush toy on her bed, as well as some small Care Bear figurines on the shelf against the wall to the right. (00:06:10)

Trivia: After Aech picks up the EM-1 Rail Gun, she zooms in on a fight in the distance where their friends Daito and Sho are fighting. The yellow ninja that Daito kicks in the face holding an ax is Scorpion from the Mortal Kombat game franchise. (00:05:50)

Question: When the guy playing as Jason Voorhees gets killed in the OASIS, he throws off his goggles in a fit of rage and attempts to jump out the window to commit suicide. He's at work with other workers and surrounded by Dell computers. Am I mistaken... or are those modern day Dell computers? This movie takes place in 2045 and to me it seems unrealistic for a Japanese/Chinese company to be using almost 30 year old computers. (00:06:50)
Answer: I didn't notice the computers, but yes, you're right. They could have put Plexiglass boxes with glowing lights inside on everyone's desks where an electronic device might go, no wires, with maybe a place to put the headset onto for charging. I think that would have looked futuristic and been acceptable to the movie viewers. (Or maybe a pyramid design instead of a box design.) But someone else might suggest that the owner of the business where all the people work (if it is a business) might have opted for the "retro look" even though the computers/electronics inside are far beyond what they look like.;-).
Answer: 25 years from now a computer will still need an input device, a display device, and a box to hold the processor. Why would computers change all that radically? As the old saying goes: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
Computers have changed appearance radically over the past 10, 20, 30 years. Yes a computer from 1999 would have had an "input, display and box" but there's a stark difference in technology and design between that era and the modern day.
Since most people play on their own in their own homes and only on the Oasis, what a computer looks like seems much less important.

Trivia: After Wade and Aech identify the artifact on Planet DOOM, the camera pans over a hill as a rocket hits, sending people flying. It keeps panning over and on a ledge you can see the Japanese sumo wrestler from Street Fighter known as E-Honda bashing people off the ledge and striking his famous pose. (00:06:10)

Starchaser: The Legend of Orin (1985)
Other mistake: When Dagg hits the soldier on the left while the fembot is distracting them, he falls over and the one on the left turns to see what happened. It then cuts to a different view and suddenly the second soldier just falls over without even getting hit.

Trivia: While Wade is explaining what Artifacts are after he and Aech see the Gregarious 120 glove, the shot pans over a flight of stairs where there's a huge battle of characters. You can see Chun-Li, from Street Fighter game series, sprinting across and leap into the air before grabbing a hold of someone hanging from a cliff. This shortly before they are both engulfed in a large fireball. (00:06:15)

Trivia: As Wade is explaining how people lose all their stuff if they die in the OASIS, you see a shot of Sho and Daito on Planet DOOM in a sword fight with Jason Voorhees, the iconic horror/slasher film mascot of the Friday the 13th movie franchise, wielding his trademark machete and wearing the hockey mask.

Continuity mistake: Star Wars Undercover Boss: Starkiller Base: After Tim says to the camera that "Dude, Matt straight up sucks!", it cuts to Tim and Zack sitting at a table against the wall where there was a Kylo Ren poster previously in the episode. The poster is now gone and there is blue substance splattered on the wall. This is the result of a scene that was deleted where Kylo got angry at the poster and ripped it off, throwing a drink at the wall. (00:00:50 - 00:03:55)

Revealing mistake: Star Wars Undercover Boss: Starkiller Base: After Tim insults Kylo Ren as being fat, 'Matt' gets angry and Force chokes him before throwing him across the room into the vending machine. In the wide shot, you can see the rip line tied to Tim's back that pulls him into the vending machine. (00:03:50)

Visible crew/equipment: Star Wars Undercover Boss: Starkiller Base: As Kylo is giving Zack an apology card, the camera cuts to a different angle and a large boom mic and hand is visible above them as well as a camera guy on the left. It specifically states in the beginning that all the cameras are hidden, and that the crew have no idea who Matt really is. There's not supposed to be any visible evidence that the rest of the people, like Zack and Tim, are being filmed. (00:03:05)

Answer: It is not uncommon for movies set in the future to include technology or brands from the era that they were made. For example, futuristic movies like Back to the Future Part II, Blade Runner or Alien include technology and brands that were popular when they were made, as well as appear just as they appeared at the time their respective movies were made, but become outdated as the years go by. This is done mainly because the filmmakers do not know what the real technologies or brands will be in 2045 so they have to use modern technologies and brands of our time to include in the movie. Though sometimes the technologies and brands can be incorporated with the technology the future setting in the movie has established to make it feel as real as possible.
