As far as anime movie continuations to a full series (yeah, I know this is supposed to follow the movie versions of Code Geass, but come on now...) I was both impressed and surprised at how much I enjoyed it. While not a perfect continuation - there simply isnt time to address all the aspects you might be interested in with the rest of the plot happening - the amount of history that was addressed was great.

The plot may be confusing to some at first, deals heavily with C's World and the repercussions of actions taken in the series, but on re-watches I felt it is more manageable. The antagonists are interesting and the challenge to the main characters is significant. Many of the included characters get their moments to shine. Highly recommended for the fans of Code Geass.

As for the TV Series vs Movie Trilogy - I will just say Shirley has less than 2 minutes of screen time and might as well be dead with her role in the plot in this movie given to Jerimiah. As such, this more or less works as a fine continuation to the series if you finish it and want more Code Geass. I also recommend you check out some of the Japanese Audio Drama CDs which have been fan-translated online.
