From the Makers of Wolf Children comes Summer Wars.

Summer Wars stars a mostly unassuming young adult named Kenji, Kenji is an intern for the maintenance of the most important internet hub in the world which is pretty cool. He's also the second best mathematician in Japan which basically makes him Japanese Jesus. But all joking aside, after the introduction, we meet our second main charecter, a girl named Natsuki, who asks Kenji or his friend to accompany her to the country. Obviously, Kenji is the one who accepts.

So the two of them go on a big trip countryward. Along the way, they run into multiple of Natsuki's family memebers, and once they reach the family house/temple/palace, Kenji is taken to Natsuki's great grandmother, where it is revealed Natsuki wanted Kenji to pretend to be her fiance. Confused, he begrudgingly accepts, and is forced to meet the entire family. Which is gigantic. That night, after running across the family computer wiz and being kicked out of the room, he finally heads to bed and recieves an email in the middle of the night containing an encrypted password with the topic 'Solve Me'. He does and the next day, the internet is broken, and the news is calling him a terrorist.

I'm gonna make a long story short now. The password launched a rogue AI that hacks 412 million accounts on the internet and threatens to explode nuclear reactors. The Great Grandmother dies because her heart monitor is linked to the internet. The most estranged family member turns out to be the one who programmed the thing, though it was the US military who launched it. The family bands everything together to fight it, though one idiot in the family almost effs the world by stealing their ice. The computer wiz fights an epic battle, and in the end, Natsuki challenges the AI to the most epic card game ever with everyone's accounts on the line. And I mean EVERYONE.

This movie is actually awesome. It has it's awkward moments, but it's absolutely amazing. I definitely give it two thumbs up. It also makes you think more on how reliant we all are on the internet. And what might happen a few years down the road for that matter. And remember, if you find a room with a supercomputer in it in your house, don't steal the ice to preserve your dead grandmother's body.
