Story
The God of Destruction
(Lord Beerus) goes in search for a Super Saiyan God. He ends up threatening the
earth and that where the Z-Fighters step in.
Sound / Audio
It’s amazing how after
all these years; the cast can still pull off the voices like it all started
yesterday. Musically it is what you would expect from Dragon Ball, which isn't
a bad thing. Vegeta's bingo song was a tad awkward though...
Aesthetics / Visuals
Dragon Ball Z has always
been aesthetically pleasing. Battle of Gods is no different. The animation has
same charm but updated with HD goodness. They also added some slight CG to the
mix which also works.
Replay
I have seen the film
twice already. Once being the theatrical version and another being the
Directors Cut, which are both available on the Blu-Ray. I will be watching it
again soon as well. The film is great and worth a re-watch, especially if you
are / were a Dragon Ball fan.
Final Thoughts
It’s been a long time
since I watched a Dragon Ball film, or any manga based film in general.
Normally the all carry the same trend of being completely non-canon (Basically
all filler) and, full of over the top battles. Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods is
not that type of film. It is completely canon taking place a few years after
the battle with Kid Buu (Personally if find this more entertaining than the
whole GT series.). As stated above the battles are either really brief or you
can’t even consider them battles to begin with except for the final one. Battle
of God also takes a more light hearted approach (more comparable to how the
original Dragon Ball Series was.). In the end I loved the film and glad I
purchased it. It was nice to revisit the Z universe after all these years.
Recommendation
If you are / were a
Dragon Ball Fan you should watch this...
