Check Out: The Movie (2023)

If you didn't like the series, you'll probably like the movie!

So, basically, this movie took the original Episode 0, the 12 episode series and the final special episode and turned them all into a 2 hour movie.

For people who didn't like the series because Nine & Daonuea took too long to get back together, there was too much drama, it was too chaotic, there was too much back story without enough forward progress, Ep.0 promised spiciness and there was almost none in the original series, the side stories took up too much screen time ... whatever the reason... chances are good that it was either removed or altered slightly in the movie and it is now less messy, better paced and just tells the core story without an excess of drama or side story.

Now, for those who really enjoyed the original series and liked seeing all the back story, the history and super messy drama they most likely will not favor the movie because most of that was removed.

Personally, I really enjoyed both. I liked the series, but I still had a few issues with it, but overall I enjoyed that there was so much going on. I liked how Nine & Daonuea should have met during university and Tee messed it up, but fate chose for them to still come together. I didn't like how long Praew stayed in the picture, she was a great character and I'm glad she had a part, but I think her part should've ended sooner. So, I was happy they did that with the movie. Sure, we don't get the full story behind Tee & Ice before the after credits scene -- but isn't it good enough just to know how things ended for Tee after what he went through with Daonuea? We don't *really* need more than that, but for those who want more then there's the series to watch.

So, overall, I think the movie was a great addition to the Check Out line up. I recommend it to both those who liked the series and those who wanted to like the series and didn't.
