If you think this happens along with the show, you are very wrong. It takes the same story, but totally redoes it, from the way they meet to the way it ends is different. The plot is pretty good. Go to another world, find out your the salvation of the world, save it, ect... You would think it would probably be boring, but it is really quite interesing. The characters are the same from the show, and they have the same personalities. The animation is superb, all the mechas( I guess thats what you would call them) are drawn very well. The music is great, especially Sora's song and the ending theme. If you like the show, you will love the movie, and even if you haven't seen the show you should watch it.
