This single movie managed to outperform the entire series that laid its foundation. The character depth, the drama, and the tense scenes this movie pack surprisingly unexpected. I came in hoping to watch a satisfying sequel to the series but got fed, a whole freaking experience. This movie is simply fantastic. Considering this starts with the series’ end, I didn’t expect it to contain much of a story, thinking it’d just be a cash grab to boost the series’ revenue, but hell how wrong could I have been. The whole story was a freaking emotional rollercoaster. With very very depressing moments to very happy ones. All packed into this simple package of a movie. I mean, it managed to tear me up multiple times through it’s run time. And that isn’t even counting the first half of the movie, where I forced myself to be insensitive, thinking this would just be some shitty sequel to a somewhat nominal show. This is not to mention the ending. It was soo well crafted that, now I feel satisfied by the whole freaking show. It brought together all the drama that it’s prequel built up and ended it so perfectly to a point where I doubt a sequel will ever be necessary for this story. All in all, this whole series including the movie was a very wild journey. After the first three episodes, I was very unsatisfied with this show exploring some shitty science plus metaphysical connection. Although in the end, it really did tie a beautiful knot with those loose strings scattered all about caotically.
