Just when the Digidestined thought their Digimon troubles were over, a rogue Digimon appears on the Internet, hacking data, and crashing electronic devices across Japan. With the rest of the team tied up in their normal lives, Izumi and Taichi begin to track the mysterious Digimon over the net with the help of Gennai and their old partners. However, other than contacting Takeru and Yamato, they can’t do anything to slow down the ever-growing Digimon. The kids face a race against the clock when Diaboromon hacks into the military’s computer and aim missiles directly at their town. Can they figure out a way to defeat the evil Digimon before it’s too late?

I first watched this movie at the age of 5, in the year 2000. I rewatched it a few times over the years, and now even at my adult years, I still love this movie. So, I keep rewatching it because it just brings me immense pleasure. Let's face it, not everything from the early 2000s was good or aged that well. This movie aged really well! I still laugh at all the bad jokes every time, the silly puns, and still love the story. This is a good spin off from the original Digimon series, and fits in well with the events that went on. It does a good job to connect to the series. I do have to say though, if you watch this as the US version "Digimon: The Movie", right after watching the original series, the timeline of events will never quite add up. So just enjoy it as a standalone piece. Did you like Summer Wars? This is very similar. In fact, it's the same director, Mister Hosada himself. He just copy and pasted a little for Summer Wars. In Our War Game, we're set a couple years back, in a time where a dial-up connection could stream crystal clear quality video to a million people, apparently. Also the military did not care if you used their satellite connection back then. We all had satellite phones in 1999, right? Didn't you? The artwork and animation is fairly good for the time it was made, I feel. If you continue onward to watch the second Digimon movie, you'll think it's fantastic because the art felt like a downgrade on that one. I actually feel this movie is best watched as an English dub - the jokes are funnier, the soundtrack is really good and reminiscent of all those songs we loved in the early 2000s (Smash Mouth, the Barenaked Ladies, Less than Jake, The Mighty Might Bosstones). This movie cracks me up every time I watch it and makes me smile. It might be old, it might not be perfect, but it is just super fun to watch every time.
