This time around they brought the tone back to the feel it had in the series. I felt the first movie was a disconnect in a lot of ways, but this movie felt like I was watching the series again. The focus switched back to the game they were involved in, and there was a little growth with a few of the characters. There were a few surprises here and there, but I was mostly impressed with how it was concluded. I expected a sappy/happy ending, but I was relieved that it didn't turn out that way. I will say that it's not a tragic end, and it's not a crazy ending either. Some might find it lacking or strange, but it comes down to the individual in this case. It is a little unexpected and a little open.
Everything that transpires over the course of the story more or less comes to a close in this movie. There are a few questions left unanswered, but I didn't mind at all. It's nice to leave some things to the imagination. This wasn't the ending I was hoping for, but I was satisfied with the conclusion and really liked it. I didn't love it like the first 11 episodes, but I thought it was very well done.
All in all there is a lot of value in this movie. I think it's definitely worth checking out. I give it a high 8 overall, and it's a must watch for eden fans.
