Alicia I love this movie so much

ShangLuda Admirable film.

BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

SwartOlifant I haven't read the manga, just the first one and it's basically the first 15 min of the movie so I really don't know if there is a reason for the "NOT SHOOTING" thing. Over all is an OKAY movie, but if you want to watch it you better go for GANTZ: O (2016) so much better and they actually shoot there.

luvstospooge1 I am a big fan of the mange so i was very excited to hear that this movie was being made in japan, by Japanese. That said, this film was somewhat a disappointment IMO. anyone who has read the mange knows how graphic it is in nudity and gore which is exactly what this film is missing, particularly the nudity, which is nonexistent. things are taken out of context as well, tea Kolyma doesn't appear in the mange this early and Keir doesn't fall in love with her until much later. there were characters missing (reika, and that cute tomb raider looking girl who bones Keir for the first time) and this movie was basically softened up for audiences overseas i guess. thats why i gave it a 5/10. other than those things the effects were good. but i just cant overlook the missing characters and story. i wont buy this movie unfortunately. i also didn't pay to watch it either, i watched it on a free streaming website so i didn't waste my money.

rorrr Clearly this is not a low budget movie, the special effects are pretty good. The premise is good too. However the movie fails at everything else, and the main thing that bring is down is the complete lack of logic. Most of the movie goes like this:1) Monster is moving slowly or not moving at all 2) People are just staring at it or running away, even those who know that the guns work really well against monsters. Nobody is trying to shoot it. 3) Monster hurts one of the main characters 4) There's a long an boring cut scene with the cheesiest dialogue you can imagine. Meanwhile the monster is taking a break, not doing anything 5) One of the main character shoots the monster, having no problems 6) RepeatThere are a few characters (guy in glasses) that do absolutely nothing the whole movie. Seriously, nothing, zero. They just hang out, don't participate in fights, don't help anybody, don't say anything interesting.So other than the main idea, the script is absolutely rubbish. It's like it was written by a ten year old who saw the original manga series.With just a bit of effort this movie could've been one of the coolest sci-fi movies in a long time, but it was completely ruined by bad script, horrible dialogue, mediocre acting.This is too bad, good sci-fi movies are pretty rare.

Cyde_Sanitas To start with, I enjoyed the Gantz movie.When it comes to movies versus "books" it's a hard choice to make, when deciding which is better.The Manga is definitely the best.But here's what I've concluded with comparing books and movies...Movies are made not to necessarily follow the book word for word. Gantz really did a decent job with following both the Manga and the Anime. Yes, stuff was changed around. Most movies do such a thing.I am upset that the driving basis for the character Kurono is gone... (He was very sexually frustrated and found out how to play the game better due to this fact...) And the violence was toned down tremendously.. But overall, I found the movie to be enjoyable.The thing about watching a movie based on a book (Or an addition to an anime series) is that they want to change things. What fun is it to read a book and see the exact same thing happen on screen? It's kind of interesting to find something different happen in the story compared to what you had read.I am very familiar with the series, I'm on my third time through the Manga as we speak. The Character designs are great and the development is wonderful. Though, I can disagree on Kurono's character in the movie... They popularized it.Going from a perverted teenager who just wants to get laid to a "I want to be successful" character is quite a jump, but them doing Kato... Hit the nail on the head... I can't make a full on review at the moment until I see part two and how much they encompass with it. Considering the Manga is still ongoing and the movie claims that it's going to be an end makes me think that Phase 3 will not be part of this set and it will be like watching the Anime all over again...Final Thought: The movie did the manga justice for what I had seen of it. Minus the sexual tension, immense violence and extensive swearing (Which are all major portions of Gantz, but could be toned down to be more friendly... Especially for a two hour movie) They hit the story and overall aspects of the series on the head. No, it's no word for word by the Manga, but who cares? Instead of seeing the same thing repeated, why not enjoy a new twist on the story that still follows the major guidelines?
