    Gantz 2: Perfect Answer (2011) Masaru Kato’s death changes Kei Kurono’s view of life completely. He decides to keep fighting until he earns 100 points so that he can bring back Kato. Gantz calls back Ayukawa and other Gantz alumni who’d left once after scoring 100 points. In the meantime Kurono works on getting 100 points. But before Kurono succeeds in resurrecting Kato, Kato unexpectedlyturns up.  The follow up to the live action feature Gantz (2011). Gantz comes full circle, in this battle between evil and good. Choices must be made and decisions topple the fate of life and death. Someone MUST die! The aliens this time around were not as entertaining or amusing. A lot of human drama between old and new characters. An investigator becomes part of the fray and witnesses the impossible.  Awesome special effects and shootout “draw” scenes. But this wash’t as good as the first Gantz. It lacked that “wow” factor. The baddies in the first were way better than this one. They take it down to a human level, this time around. The story is good enough to keep viewers glued ‘til the very end. Finally, it all makes sense. The end was as it should be. Neat and tidy. I suggest/think that the best way to appreciate this Manga turned Live Action is to MARATHON both films, and see it as a whole. HERE is my review of Gantz (2011).

    Gantz (2011) After trying to rescue a man on the subway tracks, two teens wake up in a room dominated by a mysterious black sphere that sends them to hunt down and kill aliens hiding on Earth. Based on the Manga by Hiroya Oku. Which was made into a TV series Gantz (2004) and is now brought to the big screen with this live action adaptation. Starring one of my new favorite actors Kenichi Matsuyama, better known as “L” of the Death Note Saga. Fans should also check out his performance in Detroit Metal City (2008). Note: I have not read the manga nor have i followed the tv show. From what i saw I thought this was a decent film. I was entertained by the story, the action and the unexpected violence. The CGI, costumes and prop work was not that bad. The creatures/aliens were pretty cool (quirky), at some point it reminded me of some video games, even though effects were standard (looking). Might not be everyone’s cup-o-tea, and i don’t know if it stays true to the original material. I like these manga/anime-ish type of films. And i can’t wait to see them step it up in Gantz: Part II (2011). Made in Japan. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1525835/
