And this is actually the greatest part about this movie. The story takes place right after Season 1, so you can avoid S2 altogether. Only the new female officer gets 5 seconds of screen time, but this scene is totally insignificant. Any other officer could have taken that 5 seconds. She's an officer with duties like anybody else. Thats all there is to it!
The main plot is actually pretty well written (as expected from Gen Urubuchi) and focuses on the main characters from S1 and their deeper bonding with each other in times of crisis.
Theres a lot of well directed action going on and the CGI effects are pretty neat too.
Given the way shorter runtime, it doesn't come as a surprise that you can't have 10 minute monologues of each character for each situation/problem, what some people criticized for some reason.
Overall the movie is a more than worthy continuation of the very first season and it really is a shame that its premise never got expanded in new installments.
