Take this with a grain of salt considering how big of a 24 fanboy I am, but this movie totally renewed my faith in the series. It kept me engaged the whole time (which is something I can't say S6 beyond its first four episodes), it had plenty of cool action moments, and the change of pace in bad guys definitely gave it a fresh feel. I was almost kind of sad that it went off without exploring more of the General Juma angle, but seeing him in the trailer for S7 got me excited once more.
The one major weak spot was that you could see the ending coming from a mile away. It was still pretty dramatic to see it play out (though maybe a little too much due to how many fakeouts they had), but I wish they had found some way to make it a little less obvious. But other than that it was great, and I really enjoyed it. Even the presidential stuff was pretty good, despite how skeptical I was about them having a female President at first.
So yeah, there's no question I'm buying the DVD tomorrow (why the fuck haven't they released any 24 on Blu-ray yet?), even though I probably would have bought it if it had sucked (like how I bought S6 on DVD when it first came out and still haven't watched it yet). I'm interested to see what the extra footage is comprised of, and of course I definitely want to see the S7 preview. January 11 can't come soon enough.
