Dark Angel: could it REALLY be wrapped up in a final movie, and if so- would it satisfy?

Serenity totally satisfied my need to follow up on loose ends left in Firefly, but could it be done with Dark Angel? If it could, would we all like it?
I pose the possibility that it ended perfectly, like Angel did...leaving the final ending up to you.
I used to think I wanted a final movie, now I find I'm satisfied with the ending we got (such as it is).

Max lives on in our imaginations (and gets Logan, etc.)

Shirley, you jest?

It was, uh...just a GREAT Fox show...

2nd only to Firefly, that's all.

But can you really tell me it was as great as Global Frequency would have been?

With a smashing James Cameron-directed battle, the defeat of Ames White, and the raising of the Transgenic flag over Terminal City.
Plots left hanging: the virus in Max keeping her and Logan from touching is still active, Terminal City is still seen as a menace by many 'ordinaries', police still cordoning it off, Lydecker MIA.

But that's an ending I can live with (no, thrive on).
Nobody's gonna make a movie of it now; schedules are too varied, public interest and awareness too low, and that's just fine with me, I like my little Dark Angel just the way it is- with endless possibilities in the last episode...

I mean, sure I'd like a good ending, but only if Cameron and Eglee did it together, and right.
But I'm more than okay with the way things are.

Chrisisall, wondering how FLF and ZOOT feel...

And Ames White, though beaten and humiliated, is still alive. And probably deeply p*ssed because of it (being beaten and humiliated, that is, not being alive).

I sincerely doubt he's going to politely accept his defeat and go home.

Oh my little CIA, I think you may have met your match in Grounded – heehheheeee

But yes, I think DA would have been the perfect vehicle for a 2 hr wind up finale type thing – the problem would be explaining the premise neatly and succinctly first …

But on the whole – I think the resolution of the transgenic problem from the raising of the flag through whatever the hell happens next would fit pretty nattily into a film … or may be 3 ... not sure what WOULD actually happen though – can’t say am all that keen on the “not-really-a-gripping-plot-so-much-as-a-damp-squib” plot of the final DA book … soemthing to do with the commet perchance?

I bow to your greater powers of imagination, CIA …

If you want to know what happened after season 2, then I suggest you read the Dark Angel books called Skin Game and After The Dark. I forget which order they come in.

The storyline in the book Before The Dawn happens before season 1.
