Kazunari Ninomiya, Tomorô Taguchi, Takayuki Yamada, Ken'ichi Matsuyama, Kanata Hongô, Yuriko Yoshitaka, and Natsuna in Gantz (2010)
Kei Kurono and his childhood friend Masaru Kato attempt to save a man who has fallen onto the train tracks but are run down by an oncoming train. However, rather than finding themselves dead, they are transported to a strange apartment in which they find a mysterious black orb known as 'GANTZ'. In this inescapable room, they are provided weaponry and forced into participating in the extermination of 'aliens' in order to survive. While Kurono chooses to fight for survival, Kato refuses to engage in battle and rejects a world controlled by violence. Kurono and Kato along with the others sharing their fate are pushed to their limits in the relentless battles against the aliens. Is this world, which tests your will to survive, a game or reality?

    What a great surprise!!!
    I did not read the manga, but I did watch the entire anime a few years back. The anime had 2 full seasons to tell the story, the movie had just two hours. So clearly while it is not as rich as the anime, the movie does a very good job given the time restriction.

    I had no expectations when I started to watch it, however after 15 minutes I was a believer, and even if I didn't know the story, still a pretty decent movie. Very nice FX and a high quality production to it.

    As fiction flicks goes, it is not for everybody, but If you like the theme and/or anime/manga culture, go for it for sure. And the sequel is already in the works, so we will get our Gantz fix soon enough.
