It is the nineteenth animated feature film based on the 1984–95 manga series Dragon Ball, the fifteenth to carry the Dragon Ball Z branding, and is the second film in the franchise to be personally supervised by series creator Akira Toriyama. The film's plot depicts the return of Frieza, who after his resurrection via the eponymous Dragon Balls, goes into extensive training with the purpose to enact his revenge against Goku. The film was released theatrically on April 18, 2015. It is the first Japanese film to be screened in IMAX 3D and receive screenings at 4DX theaters. The film saw a limited theatrical release in North American theaters between August 4–13, 2015. Madman Entertainment released the film in Australia and New Zealand, where it ran in theaters between August 6–19, 2015. Manga Entertainment released the film in the United Kingdom and Ireland on September 30, 2015. The film received mostly positive reviews from critics, who praised the quality of animation and the fast-paced action sequences, although its plot received some criticism. The film was later adapted into the second story arc of Dragon Ball Super, with the addition of extra scenes and subplots set before its events. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
