First, someone has written the wrong "Storyline", relating to the start of the Poldark saga, here on IMDB. This film features events some 18 or so years later, when Ross and Demelza have at least two teenage children, and perhaps ten years after the end of the recent TV series.
One distraction was comparing the characters in the two productions, and the two Rosses and the two Demelzas matched up well. The biggest contrast was in the two portrayals of Cary Warleggan.
As others have suggested, the plot was "bits & pieces" and ended on a very flat note, leaving me wanting to konw about the role of Stephen Claverson. It's almost as if the makers had hopes of a new series but halfway through the first episode realised there would be no more money and crammed everything into it.
One highlight was seeing a young Ioan Gruffudd getting in some sea-time two years before he starred in the Hornblower series.
