This movie introduced some interesting ideas that, similar to how I view the 2003 series as a whole, are intriguing to see play out as an "what if"-scenario - however while the 2003 series felt somewhat like a fanfiction version of brotherhood to me, this felt like a fanfiction continuation of the 2003 series.
It was interesting, it was entertaining, but I feel somehow less fulfilled than I did before watching the movie. The story was wild, and maybe just too off the rails for me to take entirely serious, and while the story-progression had big consequences, the stakes somehow didn't feel all that high for most of the playtime.
I feel like it wrapped up some loose ends from the main series (given that this is kind of a very long last episode), but even though I felt ready to dive into this new concept, it just didn't quite work out for me.
This movie is worth watching after the 2003 series, but the story could've used some more polishing. To be fair, it probably wasn't an easy task to write from where the show left off, but the story seemed to be lacking a convincing direction and pace.
I feel as if the writers somewhat wrote themselves into a corner with the introduction of their original plot-conclusion in the series, and the story here suffers from being unable to wrap up nicely what would need more time and setup to be wrapped up nicely.
