If you are chosen by the bizarre black sphere known as the Gantz, you are already dead—yet you might be able to reclaim your mortality. First, the Gantz demands that you undertake brutal missions of madness, killing aliens hidden among the population. It is your only chance and you have no choice. You must play this disturbing game. And if you die again—and you likely will—it’s permanent.

I've had a lot of fun with the concepts and setting of the Gantz series. Gantz:O in particular is a blast of a CGI movie. The story devolves into nonsense, but if you stick it out it's an absolutely bonkers ride through the end of the Manga.
The tech in the series is also really creative in terms of ideas, aesthetic, and the risk-reward built into many of the items. There's some really iconic imagery in it that sort of starts from how the "teleporters" work.

The anime and live action movies are "ok" though.
It has a weird way of kind of worming its way into your brain and leaves you always wanting more.
Be warned, parts of the media franchise are very NSFW.
