sakram This short movie, which is the final "necessary" addition to the 4 seasons, represents the aftermath of the big conspiracy. Roles are flipped, Sarah is the prisoner, and the brothers are the rescuers, except, this prison is no prison that Michael Scofield has architect-ed, so it's a new challenge, and the odds are low, the ending was heart-breaking, I literally cried. With the death of Michael Scofield, this has been the perfect ending for the most original and perfect series of all time.However, this seems to be the principal bedrock for the 5th season.But without considering the 5th season, it's a perfect ending, Prison Break will always the show that we'll always watch and never get tired of.
Joel Costa The whole premise is ridiculous. Sara shouldn't be in jail for countless reasons: exoneration, self-defense (affirmative defense is not to be proved beyond reasonable doubt, but only by preponderance of evidence), the fact that the mother is officially dead, which would induce a lengthy process, so Sara would have never been sent to prison after being detained, there'd be steps to follow, giving them enough time to once again prove her innocence.After his record, the General should have landed in a more secure facility like Supermax. There's no way he could pull the strings from such a facility.The family subplot in the women's jail added nothing important to the plot. It was a cheap T-Bag ripoff, and nothing more.The way they escaped prison was trivial, nothing compared to the schemes of the third season, let alone the first one. Character development was, like in season 4, not present.It's ridiculous that Michael has a plan to virtually any situation, but can't come up with something better that using his own body to save the day.The ending was ridiculous. They're free? No, you're not, morons. After your stunt, you're at the same spot as in the beginning of season 2. Except you don't have the $5M, and Mike is dead, unless he magically resurrects like several other characters from the show.This renders the previous "final episode" totally useless and unrealistic. How are they all able to live that way, if they're constantly on the run? How are they able to visit Michael's tombstone, that'd be exactly where they'd be looked for.I gave the entire show a 7/10, which is a good rating on my scale. The first two seasons were an easy 9/10, the third season was fine, but the 4th destroyed it. However, the end was good enough. They were free at last, it's what we've waited for, and Mike's dead, but it gives us the impression that he died in peace, maybe even having met his son before. But this extra ending screwed everything up.Besides many plot holes, no character development, bad repeated story, the acting wasn't extreme too. There was no chemistry during all four seasons between Mike and Sara, and I understand that they were on the run, but at their last moment, that was nothing, just cold, and emotionless. That's not convincing. Morgan was like in the previous seasons badly acted. Alex was okay. Linc and Sucre weren't special.Horrible ending, let's just pretend it didn't exist. It's feels like the last nail on the coffin that the 4th season was for the show. A friend recommended me Prison Break as it got better during the last season and the ending was in his words "unprecedented". That's a big claim for someone who hasn't watched many show, if any at all. Most people who rated this ending with 7-10/10: don't trust them. They probably haven't seen what a good ending looks like, and haven't watched many quality TV shows, so in their eyes it's great. It's like an Ethiopian child eating the worst food you could find: he'll love it, because he doesn't know the good stuff. Sorry for the macabre comparison, but it's the only way to make people realise how shitty this ending was, and the only way to explain those 7-10/10 ratings.
kosmasp Since the discs, do have an extended ending to the original series (I'm guessing the ending was slapped on after the movie was made), you might at least know where this is going. You might start to wonder, what happens to some of the characters between when this movie ends and the end of the show, but that wouldn't really help. There's too many questions that you don't want to ask there.Still it has some of the ingredients of the original show and it tries hard to do its best with it. Of course all of it is based on a premise that makes no sense whatsoever (whatever angle the camera had, there is still evidence that could help the defense case, a gun in particular), but I won't get into detail, so it won't be any spoiler.There are a few misdirections and misleads, but in the end, we know where this is leading. It's nice for the crew and the cast to be able to meet once more, but that should be it. Then again, some people might still want this to continue on and on and on and on ...
joehonaker I was surprised when I saw this movie available on eBay, I didn't know of it's existence so I hurriedly awaited this gap filling movie between the last episode and the final 3 minutes of the last episode. I have 2 major complaints about the movie, the first is a major hole in the story. Sarah is arrested for killing Christina Scofield but her name isn't listed as Scofield so the police arrest her for murdering a respected business woman. The arrest would be covered under the immunity portion of handing over Scylla and also a simple blood test would prove that Christina was Christina Scofield, this could have been handled in 1 hour at the police station. Movie over, Sarah free. Second complaint is one of casting, Lori Petty???? that was a horrid choice to play the main adversary in prison. She cannot act and her pathetic overly played character was a major distraction. I spent most of her scenes saying" wow does she suck", did none of these people in casting ever see one of her previous movies where she annoys the bejezzus out of you every time she opens her mouth? I mean damn, watch A League of their own and see that Madonna is 100 times less annoying than Lori Petty, now that's a major feat.All in all, it was a good movie/2 episodes slapped together. I wish they would have made a 5th season and this could have been a 14 episode arc and then show each character happily ever after and finally Michael die after his kid is born instead of how he did in this movie. I still hate that they killed him in the first place.This movie is a must see for all fans of the series. It adds to the story but not enough, I personally would likes to have seen Mahone hook up with the hot black bald chick in this movie and maybe Gretchen get out and see her kid but it was still a good addition to the series.
