Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods is a simple but effective movie that sets up the future of the franchise. Using the backdrop of Bulma's birthday as a setting, a whimsical destroyer God comes to Earth, seeking the Super Saiyan God of legend. The story isn't winning points for inspiration, but the comedy and lore are enough to leave you entertained. By the way, I watched this movie in the uncut Japanese dub with subtitles for the most accurate translation. The performance by the voice actors was top notch. There's some great animation when the fighting kicks off, and this adds to the appeal of the movie,as the entirety of Dragon Ball is just one big action scene anyway. The sound effects are striking and impactful, immersing you in the battle.

I recommend this movie for people that have an hour and forty five minutes to kill, you won't be disappointed.
