Story
Towards 2050 Japan is part of an Empire in Asia where teenagers are more and more violent. So the government decides to vote a law named Battle Royal. The law is to take, at random, a class of students and send them kill each other on an island. The story begins with Shuya Nanahara a student of the Kanagawa Prefecture who is selected with his whole class to participate to Battle Royal. They thought going on a school trip, but when they woke up they were on the island.
After that, their professor explains them the rules of the game with the help of an interactive video. They have around their neck a necklace that tells the teacher where they are. Every six hours a new zone of the island is forbidden so that at the end, all the students will be at the same place. If, at the end of the three days two or more students are still alive their collar will explode.
So begins the carnage. The film focus on some of the students and how they will die... But some of them will rebel against the authority, and the government's plans will be compromised...
My personal opinion
I think, this movie is one of the most funny and stupid I ever seen! The actors are so bad! Sometimes Japanese's way of acting is a bit strange or not conventional, but these actors are so bad that the whole movie becomes so comic! There are so many inconsistencies that we don't understand some parts. And the end is just epic. I won't reveal it because the film would lose his interest!
If you have time to waste or friends to make laugh, don't think too much, just show them Battle Royal!
