An enjoyable continuation but lacks the depth the series had. Code Geass at its peak is about character parallels and seeing perspectives from multiple sides of the conflict. This film unites everyone onto one side and offers no interesting opposition or character complexity. While the villains Geass is interesting the hamartia of this film is it's entire raison d'être: Lelouch. His revival truly undermines the meaning and the impact of his sacrifice, marring one of the best endings to a show period. The films teaser sets up a sequel to I hope to see his revival become necessary and add some sort of meaning.
Overall a fun watch, the action is good and the animation quality is stellar.
I do find myself missing the orchestral soundtrack of the original, however, which set it apart from so many other shows.
