...a magnificently manufactured piece of film entertainment that goes beyond the obvious and manages to comment, often obliquely, on everything from Facebook to virtual war and/or terrorism without ever seeming heavy-handed or strident.

What is Summer Wars about? Toggle content

In a virtual world where humans interact through avatars and real-life problems are solved through math and technology, a young misfit named Kenji Koiso finds himself in the middle of a catastrophic crisis. With the help of his friend Takashi and Natsuki Shinohara, the girl of his dreams, Kenji must prevent the rogue AI known as Love Machine from destroying the real world by infiltrating the virtual one. As the stakes rise and the virtual and real worlds collide, Kenji and his allies race against time to stop Love Machine and save humanity from its own creation. But as the lines between reality and virtual reality blur, Kenji must confront his own identity and the true meaning of love in a world where anything is possible.
