considering they had literally no story to work with beyond "there's some girls and they are ships and they fight these other girls who are also ships but evil" the TV anime did a good job of CGDCT.
the movie played as an action film but ended up being a mystery whose big reveal was in the first act yet limped on for the other two acts to some sort of bland acceptance by the cast and no payoff for the audience. at least it had good production values.
