That's exactly what happened, but it's not like the source material is better. The parts that it shows are faithful to the LNs, it just doesn't show everything because the contract was for a standard 13 episode season, rather than an open ended one like the big ones. 
Damn. So much for that then. Then again, even the game that totally changes everything sucks, but I don't know if the original author was involved in that game or not so I can't blame him for anything more than the source material.

I enjoy the source material, but it's not like everything appeals to everyone. I do agree that the entirety of the SAO arc needed to extend throughout the whole season, however. The movie is about AR and nobody really knows much about it, but it's supposedly a cool plot. I'll reserve judgement.
