Gantz (2011)
Director: Shinsuke Sato
Cast: Ken’ichi Matsuyama, Takayuki Yamada, Kazunari Ninomiya

Shot as a two-part film, the first part sets up the Gantz puzzle with explosive violence, amazingly rendered special effects, and plenty of burning questions for audiences to ponder before the story reaches its exciting conclusion in Perfect Answer. While a large part of part two is altered from the original comic for the film, part one remains mostly faithful to the source material, featuring classic battles with alien creatures like the onion-head alien and the giant Buddha statue that will leave the audience breathless. One day, Kurono Kei (Ninomiya Kazunari) reunites with childhood friend Kato Masaru (Matsuyama Kenichi) in a subway station when they both help save a man on the tracks. After the two get killed in the process, they find themselves waking up in an empty room with a black orb in the center. Soon, they figure out that the orb sends them on missions to fight strange alien creatures, and each mission can help players earn points that go towards redeeming their own life back. While the two attempt to figure out the rules of the game, Kuruno falls for fellow player Kishimoto Kei (Natsuna), who is actually in love with Kato instead.
