Kenji being a math wizard being able to crack code? Check. For the most part it fails at the number of conveniences for the plot to work. Likewise I felt the 'virtual world' was handled pretty poorly (maybe it's similar to digimon? I guess that's why people like it?) Where they might establish some rules here to make the plot more confined, but ignore rules elsewhere to make it more dramatic. People praise the 'two worlds collide' concept like it makes the best of both, but I feel it made two mediocre settings. First and foremost by watering the main cast into a 20-something family you really lose sight of what makes each individual character complex. I feel like I'm in a minority when I think the movie wasn't engaging at all.
