Usually, these adaptations will raise the stakes and use a more traditional "heroes saving the day" style of plot to ensure that it's a BigDamnMovie. Contrast with TheMovie, compare with ContinuityReboot, also consider NonSerialMovie. A subtrope of TheRemake. If the movie is made up of scenes pulled directly from the original series it's a CompilationMovie instead.

It was released while the series was in production, made by people involved in the series, and the characters from the series who appear in the movie are played by the same actors. That makes it a better fit for The Movie than for this trope, even given the "slightly different universe" aspect.
