The premise is as simple as can be and gets established within the first 5 minutes. Once you die, you get transported to a mysterious room where a mysterious entity called Gantz plunges you head first into an infinite survival game. Armed with fancy sci-fi weapons and donning a black spandex bodysuit, you basically have to act as the Japanese Men in Black and kill hordes upon hordes of demons/aliens.
The film gives you about 15 minutes to acclimatize to the situation, after which the movie turns into a non-stop high-octane kill-or-be-killed battle royale full of gore and ultraviolence aplenty. The demons just get more and more outlandish.
I fucking loved it. I am not familiar with the manga, and though I am familiar with the TV show, I can tell you for damn sure that you don’t need to see it in order to watch this. In fact, I implore you not to watch the TV show. Save your soul. You can thoroughly enjoy this without being familiar with any of the rest of the franchise.
Have fun!
