This movie has problems. A good chunk of the story-line is directly ripped from the Digimon movie (which was made by the same director), the whole set-up is a bit hard to believe, it suffers from quite some clichés and there are animation errors here and there which are frustrating.Everything points to a 6/10 or maybe even a 5/10, but I have to give it a 7/10.The main purpose of this movie is capture the feeling of family and it does so perfectly. I've never seen a movie that captures how a family meeting goes down so well. All characters are very likable and even the ones that aren't are very believable, even if not necessarily three-dimensional. Like the protagonist, the viewer starts as an outsider and gradually warms up to the family until the point where you're on the edge of your seat cheering for their success.On a technical level, the art and sound are all reasonably good. Not amazing, but not bad either. The character designs range from very realistic and almost familiar (in the real world) to very colorful and weird (in the virtual world).Overall, this movie is a blast to watch even with all its problems. Check it out!

I know this is a spoiler, but when every remaining free avatar rallies behind Natsuki, I always cry. After the bombing in France, the world actually united in the same way and I cried. In the movie, it took people losing their lives and everything needed to function for everyone to come together. In reality, it takes people dying. I cry for two reasons.Movie: - It takes deaths and potential fall of society for people to unite - People do amazing things when they rally togetherReality: - It takes many deaths for us to unite - We can do great things (i.e. solve world hunger, world peace) if we can rally together like we do when people are having tragedies, but do it everydayUNITY people! Apply it everyday for a brighter future. That's what I get from this movie. The perfect movie. Now, if I can stop crying, I won't get a stopped up nose. Then it would be a 10 out of 10!P.S. Hanafuda (Koi Koi) is a great game. You need to get the app.

I swear in my life, I am so glad to have seen this film. It really gave a great idea for an anime to be based off a social media website. Although I wouldn't call this film 'Summer Wars', I think it would've been better if it was called 'Computer Wars' as it would make more sense. The action, the graphics and the characters were far out brilliant! Kenji was hilarious like he is such a wuss to love. Himself and Natuski are such a cute couple even if they lied that they were getting married soon. It was sad that the grandmother died but she was such a legend in trying to wave the world too!I honestly think this movie should've been in cinemas or even got an Oscar for the best action animated film because it is just enjoyable to watch!

This is not a traditional Japanese anime. In the beginning, you hear both Japanese and English audio at the same time and may think there's something wrong with the movie. This goes away after a few minutes.Half the story happens inside a computer network called Oz, where computer programs come to live and take on the appearance of a human/monster. For me, this is a big turn-off because I know computers don't work this way. Either the script is written by people who don't know much about computers, or the anime is meant to be viewed by people who don't know much about computers.This is the main reason for the low rating. If you swallow this visualization of a computer, then you may like this anime more.Why is it in animes, the main boy character always shows a lack of self confidence in front of a girl, but gets the girl nevertheless?
