Oh my gosh this thing is boring. Seriously. It's so much like real life that sometimes it feels as though it's going in real-time. I skipped the first >18 minutes and didn't feel as though I missed a thing. (I should have done that with Wall-E.)
But it's a good movie nonetheless. The characters are real (except for that BA AI, you know) and it's quite a tearjerker. Personally, I feel as though the whole entire family-saga is the real film and it's as though the writers just tagged on that virtual reality thing onto it.
But hey - I'm only about three quarters finished with it since I'm supposed to be completing Latin work right now. I guess I'll catch up on that last portion some other time and add an end-notes review.
P.S. The up-to-date electronics in the film are pretty cool when I'm watching it now, in 2010-2011. (Whoo, just realized this [Summer Wars] is my first film of 2011!) Several years from now? Yeaaaah... those DSi's and that iPhone will either bring back feelings of nostalgia (like when seeing video cassettes in Cowboy Bebop) or make the film seem "stale".
P.P.S. That family's house is AWESOME! enough said
Happy New Year! from K. Nu
