A missing first half is not as much as a problem for a movie as a missing ending, is and I thought the ending (of the whole franchise nonetheless) was handled very well here. In fact, I understood more of what was happening and why than what I remember from the book (but maybe I was just reading too fast at the time). Even the ending after the ending (the part about the next generation), that I would rather have seen left off, was tolerable. Nice conclusion to the series.
