Just watched Serenity.
OMG *sob*
Advice: Rent the series, watch completely, see the movie. It's well worth it and in no way a waste of time. I'm a huge fan of Firefly, which says A LOT because I don't watch tv (much less watch a show that was CANCELED $@%# a year ago).
Round Up: The tv show is smart- WITTY- has actual 3 dimensional characters and not the usual crap 'stereotype', has AMAZING history, depth, feeling. It's scifi, but for those who do not like scifi just ignore that fact. It doesn't have severe make-up job aliens or robotic people or anything... it's kinda like a western in space. Oh! I know = Cowboy Bebop in the wild west.
Review: Pretty Okay. Three and three quarter stars out of five. It was nice to see the ship again (SWEET handheld of the whole set in the intro) and the storylines from the show were there. Seriously- I can't review it without saying exactly what I would have said about the show, and as a transition from tv to film Whedon did a good job. Only flaws I saw were: 1. Josh Whedon still seemed like he was FILMING for tv in the beginning, 2. Shephard was hardly in it. 3. Mal was a bit preachy a couple times... but that has to be let go because it's HIS BIG SCREEN MOMENT.
Like I said: Rent the series, watch completely, see the movie. Lather, rinse, repeat.
