While I love the .hack games, I've never been able to play the .hack//G.U. games for PS2 (they are pretty expensive games these days). I feel that the movie rushed through the three games without really explaining a lot. I felt a little confused as to what was going on, but if I played the games I probably would have understood. The CGI animation in the movie was great and I found it fitting to the story. The characters were animated beautifully and it did make me think of the PS2 era. The appearance of a certain boss creature from theoriginal .hack made me pretty happy.

I liked the voice acting and I preferred these characters over the ones from the original .hack video game series. These characters make me really want to get to the source material for the movie.

Overall, I enjoyed the movie but I wish that the movie was split into three parts so that it didn't feel rushed.
