Why do some people have a constant need to remake an ending to a story that was pretty reasonable already to something they think will somehow appease their audience more and be more satisfying? It is quite pointless, right? Why are some ideas not left as they were meant to be or some stories not left alone? Hey, you know what? I have an insane idea: we should bring back the Emperor as the ultimate evil being in order to defeat him yet again, it is going to be perfect! Oh, hang on a minute, someone somewhere has already done that! I am disappointed because I could have easily done without this alternative ending and been happy, although I can say I am not angry, which is good news for the screenwriters. I cannot say that I did not find anything particularly wrong with it either, because the animation and soundtrack were just fine. Likewise, it is nice to find out what happened next to some of the characters, and a certain part of my romantic soul thinks that because of that it is pretty OK. On the other hand, I have to agree with some of the other reviewers that this movie does not retain any of the depth of the original story, and it is just quite a mediocre movie. So what was the point of it? I think TomX2 said it best - it is simply fan service! It tries to make a perfectly reasonable ending somehow more satisfying, and yet unfortunately it kind of defeats the point of the original ending. For me personally, the imaginary canon is the whole of the Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion anime series, and this is more of an alternative ending in order to flesh out the story a little bit and wrap it up again, and while it is still pretty decent, it is also kind of pointless... 6/10.
