I have such a love/hate relationship with this movie Summer Wars.  
(This movie is actually an anime movie)

The characters are really great. The main plotline has a few absurdities.

Spoiler for Hidden:
<br>It&#39;s kind of like Ready Player One without the VR. &nbsp;Most of the internet is connected by this virtual world. &nbsp;Including the banks, and pretty much anything else you can think of. &nbsp;<br><br>First thing that bothers me. The main character gets a text with a really long number. I think in the movie they say it&#39;s like ~2000 digits long. &nbsp;He solves &quot;the math problem&quot; and it&#39;s a string encrypted to get access to the digital world. And he solves it in like 20 minutes. <br><br>Second thing. The thing that sent the text was a super intelligent AI being tested by the military. &nbsp;<br><br>Third thing, this family gets a super computer so that everyone can play the game, and fills the room with towers of ice to keep it cool. &nbsp;After that, someone takes the ice to keep their dead grandma cool on this hot summer day. &nbsp;<br><br>


Aside from those things, the movie is really great.
