Kenji is your typical teenage misfit. He’s good at math, bad with girls, and spends most of his time out hanging out in the all-powerful online community known as OZ. His second life is the only life he has – until the girl of his dreams, Natsuki, hijacks him for a starring role as a fake fiancé at her family reunion. Things only get stranger from there. A late-night email containing a cryptic mathematic riddle leads to the unleashing of a rogue AI intent on using the virtual world of OZ to destroy the real world. As Armageddon looms on the horizon, Kenji and his new “family” set aside their differences and band together to save the worlds they inhabit in this "near-perfect blend of social satire and science fiction."

This was a very nice movie. It is sort of a Facebook 2.0 with elements from the movie Live Free or Die Hard (2007). To be honest i shudder at the thought that a single network on the internet would ever get so much power. But then again, this is a movie and there anything can happen.
What i thought was really cool was that family values were mixed with technology and awesome computer battles. I did not understand that card game though, it seems to be a purely Japanese card game.
All in all i thought it was very good. As those last seconds of the countdown ticked away and that satellite was crashing down to that big mansion i knew that it wasn't go hit the mansion and kill anybody (it not that kind of movie, you can see that right from the start) but still, i was still cheering for Kenji to finish the hacking the system in time to change the course of the satellite aimed at them. What an awesome scene was that!
Why this movie isn't more popular i don't know. Everything you could possibly wish for a in a family feel-good movie is in here. I can definitely recommend this movie to anyone, even people who don't know or like anime.
