I need to check this out!

This movie Summer Wars looks hard...


Here's the sales pitch:
From the visionary directory of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2007 Japanese Academy Award winner, Best Animated Feature) comes the story of an ordinary family going to extraordinary lengths to avert the impending cyber apocalypse!
I need to check this out! I have read some good reviews of it, but haven't caught it yet myself...
It seems to press some of the same buttons as the Satoshi Kon mindbender Paprika (which I really liked), but with a lighter touch. I'm sure some of you have seen Summer Wars already, so feel free to speak up. Just try not to give away too much!
holla!

    It's fresh. It's a movie about family though, and the execution and plot are odd as hell to me. I like Japan. They don't give a damn.

    I also recommend "The Girl That Leapt Through Time". Same director.
