It was a really good movie, it was filled all the usual timey-wimey shenanigans that you have come to expect of Haruhi Suzumiya. The metaphors and concept behind the movie is truly admirable and I've never wanted to appreciate the "weird" in my life so much. This was a much better feeling to leave off on than the Endless Eight (which I still think was well imagined, just poorly executed). The character development throughout the entire piece is truly central to enjoyment of this movie, you need to understand the tiniest changes in Kyon's behavior and thinking as he comes to terms with how much he loves his life (and Haruhi) as well as Nagato evolving from a humanoid interface to more something a little more human with emotion. It's still not the most moving film I've ever watched, and it certainly required an awful lot of backstory from the series to understand, but if you enjoyed the series even the tiniest bit, you'll be happy with your decision to watch this too.

OK, well I foolishly thought this was an independent movie with no show attached to it. SO I was lost through the whole thing. The result of not being familiar with any of the character meant I was completely detached and could really have cared less about them. So basically, don't watch this movie without watching the show.

I only need one word to describe the whole movie: Preciuos :D

Epic. Almost heart attack when that bitch stabbed him. Just forget S02 and watch it.

I was about to walk away with mixed feelings from Haruhi after the lackluster and most of the times plain boring second season, but in hindsight I'm really, really glad I didn't. This movie is a masterpiece, simply the most moving and powerful piece of media I've ever experienced. No other has brought me to the verge of tears and to heights of awe that many times, even in rewatches. I urge anyone with even a vague interest on this to just go ahead and do it, it's worth every second of its really long runtime.
