Gantz: Perfect Answer


IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: Yes
Watched With: Myself

Well if Gantz was Part 1 then Perfect Answer is parts 2, 3 and 4 combined. Man they pack a lot into this film. The concept was well established in the first part but this one takes those ideas and plays with them in new and exciting ways. It's much more complex and justifiably has a much longer running time. It has a much more satisfying conclusion although it does leave open possibilities for further instalments.

Once again, the action and fx are great and the characters are also on par. I think this is a textbook example of how to develop the 2nd and 3rd act of a story, even though it still doesn't feel like it had enough time to get everything in. I also wonder if it would have helped to introduce some of the elements in part 2 in the first film. It would definitely free up some room here but would also make the ending of the first film much more inconclusive.

This was a really interesting series that I enjoyed immensely. The ending does go on a bit but I like where it finally ended up.
