santamariaca Gantz: o has an amazing animation sometimes feels real, but the plot of the film is a bit confusing for new gantz viewers and for those who have read or seen the anime with the same name could feel out of place the story due to the changes made to convert gantz as a standalone film, compared to the original work in the film the protagonist lacks an objective and this makes it difficult to sympathize with him.

moazade Just laughable dialogue, how on earth is this mature with this childish dialogue

ICMooVees Cruising through Netflix I mostly see B grade movies and came across this title. I've seen some older anime and would usually rather watch a real life movie rather than an animation but the choices on Netflix have dried up quickly and I finally decided to try this. And it was a great choice I must say. Right from the start the action kicks in and as the other reviewers pointed out, the CG/animation looks absolutely awesome. It actually took a few moments of looking closely at the humans to tell if they were real or not. The details of shadows, reflections, glints, motion, fire, everything seems to push the envelope of computer power to render this smooth detail. Just incredible. The creatures were highly imaginative and some made me laugh. The battles were slick and sick. Having no knowledge of Gantz backstory (if one exists), leaves many gaps in understanding what/why is all going on. The main character himself is not given enough/any information as to what the heck is going on so the viewer (me) has no clue as to what/why is going on. For example:Why are there all these creatures, what is their purpose, who created the Gantz-ball-thing, why are humans randomly (?) chosen, if other teams have killed the monsters why do more appear, is this phenomenon only in Japan or is it world wide, etc. If this movie considers that the viewer has pre-knowledge of Gantz then there is no problem. However, I was totally lost without those answers, yet the movie was a total spectacle and impressive nonetheless. I gave it a 9 based on the sheer scope of anime work and imagination. It must be a giant in it's genre. Worth watching for sure, better than most real live movies I've seen on Netflix.

nahdrardhan As a manga fan i'm feeling grateful that this doesn't turn into crappy cgi and reduce like 50% of the storyline just like the live-action. The CGI is absolutely beautiful and the character design is really attractive. But sadly they remove a few iconic scene from the manga (maybe because too gore and not appropriate). Another cons is the voice actor, especially the female leads, somehow it's a bit off. they could've find more fitting one. Overall it's amazing, i'm fully enjoyed it especially as it manga fans.
