Toei took everything that made AIR magnificent and replaced it with terrible art/animation, horrific musical rearranges, a simplified and clichéd plot, and flat and just plain wrong characterizations. If you want to avoid my long rant/avoid spoilers, stop reading here and take my advice that AIR TV is made of WIN and AIR Movie fails hard.
