Yeah, I’m a lot like Shi on this one. I didn’t like the movie when I saw it, or when I rewatched it. I didn’t feel that S was particularly sympathetic (since he’s essentially forcing people into a fantasy they don’t want to be part of) and the one thing that might’ve made this mvoie distinct (the whole “real-time” gimmick) turned out to be a pack of lies (the “hour” actually takes up 1 hour and 13 minutes of screen time. I counted). I felt the Thinknet guys were more sympathetic, since they’ve essentially been lied to by someone who intends to kill them. I dunno, I’d want to murder his wife after that.

I also wasn’t keen on the Is revival, since it cheapened her whole death. And I don’t see why they had to reshoot the movie to be post-series, given that Gaim and Drive both had post-show movies set during the series (and Kyoryuger had a whole episode made 4 years after it ended, also set between episodes). Especially since the sacrifice was the one thing you complained the movie was missing: screen time for Naki and Ikazuchi.
