GANTZ Synopsis:
Kei and Masaro are run over by a train. The next thing they know is that they’re in a room, they’re not alone and there is a giant ball dominating the place that invites them to participate in a macabre game. We’ve never seen a purgatory like this: with special suits and weapons, the characters must take on all sorts of threats. The winner will walk away with a prize that’s not to be despised: returning to life. With a spectacular visual universe, a cult work as a point of reference (over thirty volumes in ten years) and a first class cast, Gantz was born to be a blockbuster and get standing ovations in theaters.
GANTZ: Perfect Answer Synopsis:
The thirty plus volumes of the Hiroya Oku manga couldn’t be compressed into just one film. And much less bearing in mind that these two volumes have become one of the main attractions in Japanese science fiction. Maybe that’s why director Shinsuke Sato decided to split the story into two movies and leave the spectators or fans of the comic on tenterhooks until they see the second part. In Gantz: Perfect Answer, we recover Kei, under the mysterious ways of the Gantz ball, in the middle of a fight against aliens and demons.
