The Producer that made the live action version of Deathnote a few years ago. Like that film, I have not seen the Manga or anime series the live action film is based on, so it's all new to me and I won't be commenting on it as an adaptation.

Deathnote had a great premies and characters and the set up for Gantz follows a similar big idea, that the dead are resurrected to fight alien invaders. As this is part one of a two parter, it doesn't exactly wrap things up all neat and tidy but it does have a logical finishing point.

The action and effects are pretty cool. The story is kinda intriguing and the characters are okay too. Quite fun, but I'll wait till part 2 to see how it all turns out.
