Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' (Japanese: ドラゴンボールＺ 復活の「Ｆ 」 Hepburn: Doragon Bōru Zetto: Fukkatsu no 'Efu'?) is the nineteenth Japanese animated feature film based on the Dragon Ball series and the fifteenth to carry the Dragon Ball Z branding, released theatrically on April 18, 2015. It is the first Japanese film to be screened in IMAX 3D and receive screenings at 4DX theaters.
Resurrection 'F' is the second film personally supervised by series creator Akira Toriyama, following Battle of Gods in 2013. Like the previous film, it was considered an official part of the Dragon Ball storyline. The movie depicts the return of the villain Frieza, as well as the God of Destruction Beerus and Whisfrom Battle of Gods. After his resurrection, Frieza goes into extensive training for the first time in his life so that he can exact his revenge on the Super Saiyans that destroyed him.
The film received worldwide release, both in the original Japanese language and in localized dubbed versions. Funimation's English dub of the film received a limited release in North American theaters on August 4 and ran through until August 13, 2015. Madman Entertainment released the film in Australian theaters on August 6, where it ran through until August 19, 2015. Manga Entertainment acquired the rights for the release in the United Kingdom in September 2015. The film received generally favorable reviews, with critics praising the quality of animation and the fast-paced action sequences, while criticizing its formulaic and lackluster story tailored for a dedicated target audience without a broad appeal. The second story arc of Dragon Ball Super, the newest canonical anime series in the Dragon Ballfranchise, retells the events of Resurrection 'F'. Some details have been altered, scenes added, and dialogue expanded to cover the 13-episode arc.
The remnants of Frieza's army, led by an alien named Sorbet (ソルベSorube?), head to Earth where they convince Pilaf, Mai, and Shu, who have collected the Dragon Balls, to summon the wish-granting dragon Shenron. Sorbet makes a wish to revive Frieza, but Shenron can only bring him back to life in the form of the pieces that Future Trunks cut up, which Sorbet's minions reassemble using their advanced technology over the following two months. Once restored, Frieza plans revenge against the Super Saiyans, but upon learning that Goku has gotten stronger to the point of defeating Majin Buu, he postpones the invasion so he can train himself for the first time in his life.
Jaco the Galactic Patrolman travels to Earth to warn Bulma that Frieza is approaching, and she gathers five of the Z fighters. With Goku and Vegeta training with Whis on planet that houses Beerus, the God of Destruction, unaware that Frieza has been revived, Gohan, Piccolo, Krillin, Master Roshi, Tien Shinhan and Jaco fight off Frieza's soldiers. But the five Z warriors are unable to beat Frieza, even with Gohan in Super Saiyan mode.
Bulma is finally able to reach Whis; Goku and Vegeta return to Earth to face Frieza. Whis and Beerus join them in order to eat a strawberry sundae Bulma has prepared for them; neither of the two care about the outcome of the battle. Despite powering up to Final Form, Frieza is unable to defeat Goku, but the latter deduces that he is holding back. The two then agree to fight at full power, with Goku transforming into a glowing-blue aura form called Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan (超 サイヤ人ゴッドSS Sūpā Saiya-jin Goddo Sūpā Saiya-jin?), and Frieza evolving into his new gold-plated form "Golden Frieza" (ゴールデンフリーザ Gōruden Furīza?). Frieza is finally able to gain the upper hand, however Goku and Vegeta soon realize Frieza's greatest weakness: that his golden form drains his powers quickly.
Goku turns the tables, beating down Frieza. He gives him the chance to leave, but is shot in the heart by Sorbet's ray gun. Frieza stands over the incapacitated Goku and offers Vegeta a chance to kill Goku and to command his future army, but Vegeta refuses, transforming into a Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan form. When Krillin tries to revive Goku with a Senzu bean, Frieza attacks him but Vegeta deflects the shot, which kills Sorbet. Vegeta is about to kill the weakened Frieza, but Frieza shoots a blast into the Earth, destroying it and Vegeta. Goku, Whis, Beerus and the Z fighters are left in a small piece of rock in space where they lament the loss of the planet; Goku regrets not killing Frieza when he had the chance. Whis remarks he can turn back time up to three minutes and, after doing so, Goku destroys Frieza with a Kamehameha.
In the aftermath, as the characters say their goodbyes to Beerus and Whis, Goku and Vegeta discuss the assertion by Whis that, if the two of them were to team up, opponents like Frieza would not have a chance to knock them out. Vegeta replies he would rather die than go through that again. Goku agrees and laughs as Vegeta smiles and remarks that it is about time they finally agree on something.
In a post-credits scene, Frieza returns to Hell, and to his dismay is welcomed back.
