It's not just the setting that feels old and crusty, the entire film feels like it was made in a different era. That's nice if you love reminiscing about the (g)olden days, it makes it considerably less suitable for someone like me, who likes it when films push the boundaries and explore new territory.
Other than that, this is a pretty inoffensive film and a typical extension of a TV series. It features a slightly bigger and stand-alone event that warrants the extra runtime, but it's all just an excuse for fans of the series to spend some extra time with the characters they already love. Extremely bland and boring.
