This is the same story as in the original series but shorted down to fit the big screen.
The main problem is not the story or the anything like that, but the total lack of control in this project, the CG used for this film is by far the most horrible i have seen in some time. It takes all the visual joy out of this film. I don't know if this has to do whit the meltdown in the anime industry as a whole but the lack of talented staff and a budget mad this the most disappointing film of 2012 for me.
But if the visual's don't matter to you as the viewer the i still say that you get more out of the original series.
If this is a indication of things to come we are in serous danger of loosing out on some potential awesomeness to come.
