I found the movie was pretty much rubbish if you hadn't seen the series before hand. Not impossible to follow by any means, but you just felt that you were missing out on all the relationships and back story. It felt like exactly what it was: a feature length final episode of a TV show I hadn't seen.
I completely disagree.
I watched the film first (and loved it) and then watched the series which was also top notch.
Strongly recommend both to all (especially at this price).
One of the few films I could watch over and over again and not get bored of it.
