Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F'

Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' begins in a period of calm. Beerus, the god of destruction, has spared Earth and gone into a long sleep, but the quiet does not last. Sorbet and Tagoma, survivors of Frieza's forces, come to Earth to gather the Dragon Balls and bring their fallen leader back to life. Their wish is granted, and Frieza turns his attention to revenge against the Saiyans. With Goku and Vegeta away training on a distant planet, their friends are left to face the returning tyrant on their own.

The film is directed by Tadayoshi Yamamuro, a longtime animator on the Dragon Ball series making his feature directing debut on a Dragon Ball movie. Akira Toriyama, the creator of the manga, wrote the screenplay, placing the film within the continuity of Dragon Ball Z rather than the earlier films. Masako Nozawa voices Goku, Gohan and Goten, with Ryou Horikawa as Vegeta, Ryusei Nakao returning as Frieza, Koichi Yamamae as Beerus and Hiromi Tsuru as Bulma.

Released in Japan in April 2015 and running 93 minutes, the film was made on a modest budget of about 5 million dollars and earned roughly 62 million worldwide, a strong return for an animated feature. Audience response has been favourable: on IMDb it holds 7.1/10 from around 26,000 votes, while on TMDB it sits at 6.9/10 from just over 2,000 votes.
