The review here by the obviously very wise reb-warrior is spot-on. There is practically zero plot. The essence and magic of the tv show is totally missing.
And everyone goes off on their own instead of having a collective adventure. I agree that that would have made this episode / movie significantly more interesting and enjoyable.
Plus the writing is terrible. Almost nonsensical. The director dropped the ball here. I'm not sure why everyone was so off-base given that the writers were indeed writers of the series, two of them were the show's creators, and the director is the guy who directed every episode. It's a real head-scratcher that they so lost sight of what the tv show special and made it work.
Still, if you love these characters, it's just fun enough to sit through for 90 minutes. Just don't expect quality.
