I agree with the series sentiment. But a movie like this also really craves the spectacle of being in a movie theater and the budgets that movies are allowed.
I have yet to see a movie theater show any series, and have also never seen a series shot in imax with dolby atmos. Correct me if I’m wrong.
And since this movie is adapting the book quite faithfully so far, I can safely say that this is the closest thing you could have ended it on with a sense of closure… Ending it earlier would have turned to first movie into a complete fizzle with only a bunch of world building, and ending it later would have opened up much more conflict without resolving it.
In my opinion big theater movie is the only format that does the book justice, a series would have cut it’s budget and visual quality too much. And given the limitations of the movie format (such as runtime), I don’t see how else you would handle this book, there’s just too much world building and material to resolve the movie in any other way.
I’m personally very curious to see how they resolve the second part… Because it does not look like something that’s easy to adapt to a movie. And I’m absolutely stoked about how faithful the first movie was.
Personally I would have been fine with reduced visuals if it meant that they give it space to breath for that worldbuilding in a series format, but to each their own I suppose.
