Mixed Feelings
As a continuation that wraps up the original TV show, it feels kind of... out of place. After seeing such a realistic setting with pretty much serious tone, then we get, eh, aliens? Yeah, I know that it was already been teased in the original series, but it still feels weird for me.

Anyway, this movie wraps up Aeolia Schenberg's whole plan from the TV series; aliens came for invasion to Earth. I address it that way because that's the way it is; the main conflict is already resolved in the original 00 series (albeit it might still leave some questions behind), so this one is just an addition to it. Characters also feel more flat compared to their TV series' counterpart, even the newly introduced characters barely played anything significant here.

I'm not really fond on how they conclude the overarching theme of 00 here. It feels so cheesy lol. It might be the result on delivering it in a way too idealistic. It's kind of disappointing since 00's theme is probably one of few things that I like in the series.

Despite that, I still found myself enjoying the movie, mainly for the great visual. It's also great to see old characters made their return.

Pros:
-Great visual
-Good character designs return
-Likable characters make comeback
-Good epilogue

Cons:
-Bland plot
-Flat characters (both the returning and new ones)
-The overarching theme is delivered in a way too idealistic and cheesy; it makes a supposedly great message can't be taken seriously
