Moviegoers are saying
Summer Wars divides audiences between those who connect deeply with its family-centric story and virtual world premise, and those who find it conceptually absurd. While some viewers experienced profound emotional catharsis through its portrayal of family bonds and loss, others were distracted by its bizarre blend of furry avatars, cyber warfare, and what one reviewer called 'getting the entire population of Japan involved in your online beef.'

this movie asks: what if your furry OC was linked to your bank account
maxApr 30, 2017“Never turn your back on family, even when they hurt you.” I lost my Grandmother earlier this year, it was the first time in my life where I’ve been through a situation like this and was old enough to understand. She was sick for the last couple months and we were caring…

Summer Wars: “Never turn your back on family, even when they hurt you.” Fast and the Furious: “You don’t turn your back on family, even when they do.” Maybe they’re second cousins 🤷🏻♂️

I CANT DESCRIBE HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS MOVIE! the designs and animations are so good and i love this big family.. this movie is just so cute and one of my fav, it’s just so comforting 🫶🏼🫶🏼
Lee likedSummer WarsBetter than his oddly decent furry film, and more heartfelt & fleshed out than the disappointing Boy & the Bear. Hmm maybe he does better when not focusing mainly on animals. The family dynamics & growth had a tinge of Ghibli here. I also wasn't expecting a Log Horizon AI subplot
AMock likedSummer Wars7/10 Not bad not great. You can tell that Hosoda took some foundation from this and made it 10x better in Belle. The animation was good, and I really liked the large family dynamic. I thought there were some issues in terms of focus regarding the plot, but still enjoyable

6/10 Decent film, love the animation style. Can’t say I cared too much for the OZ virtual world story, I liked the actual real family story more. Some of the character dynamics were a bit meh but overall it’s fine.
Bart van Tilburg likedSummer WarsFun Anime, About a AI Cyber terrorist that goes to War with a family of Warriors. In orde to save the world this family and our MC use all of there Resources to fight the thread and overcome there Family drama.
Caleb Rose lovedSummer WarsOne the best movies I’ve ever seen. This one packs comedy, action, drama, and a whole lot of heart. We watched the English dub, and the voice acting was phenomenal. I can’t recommend this one enough.

5/10 C'est sympa, sans plus. Dans ce style avec ce concept j'ai preferé Belle. Par contre leur grande famille là elle est trop mimi. Ca donne trop envie d'avoir ça (et en même temps non)
Casey Nash lovedSummer WarsI just kind of happened upon this movie, but it turned out to be really good. Like a higher stakes, more adult Digimon. Made by the same studio.

Summer Wars has engineered a truce between the familiar and the fantastical.

Hosoda, who directed the cult film The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, has made a sophisticated yet poignant family entertainment with an appeal beyond Japanese animation buffs.
