The movie basically didn't really show or tell anything that the ending of the show didn't. The same "ok and then what happened?" feeling that spurred this movie is the same feeling that still exists now that Jesse is in Alaska.
I'm not sure you and I even watched the same thing.

Exactly like Breaking Bad isn't about making meth, it is about the journey these really fleshed out characters go on, this is about Jesse becoming the guy that got Todd's gun and then gave it back to him, to a dude that will do what the **** ever it takes, including get into a shootout for $1800, to change his circumstance.

Additionally there is a lot of exploration into the effects of his being held against his will.

If all you got out of that was "Jesse went to Alaska" then why did you watch BB in the first place?
