Spoiler alert! I thought the movie was pretty decent until the very end. I honestly wasn’t expecting much since it was a movie, and not another series. I knew they wouldn’t have time for the character development that I would have wanted, and I had come to accept that before the film even started. But even with my low standards, it was underwhelming. Jim falls back into the same crippling self doubt that was supposed to have been resolved back in the Troll hunters series, Douxie gets hardly any screen time, and Aja gets turned into the bad guy just for playing it safe and being smart. All the characters were underused, and Jim became the main focus of the film at the expense of all the other characters, and even his own arc was sloppy. Also the action was constant, to the point that your mind couldn’t even catch up with what was happening. That being said, Steve’s accidental pregnancy was hilarious. The fight scenes were beautifully animated, and they did manage to at least cameo a large portion of the main characters for how short the movie was. Though they promptly killed off all of those side characters along the way. I guessed from the moment the cronosphere was mentioned that they would pull an Avengers and bring everyone back to life. But I was incredibly frustrated to find out that instead, Jim decides to literally erase the entire trilogy by going back to the very start, and then changes basic fundamental parts of the story. What was the point of watching 5 years worth of content just to say, “JK, none of it even happened!”? I was genuinely content with the story up until the end. Like I said, I had low expectations from the start. If they had just removed the cronosphere from the story, I think it could have been a decent film. Then the deaths would have had some weight to them. There were still some obvious flaws with the story, but they were flaws I could have lived with. Now the only way I can handle that this film even exists is by desperate hoping the writers realize their mistake, and make a sequel to salvage the original timeline.
