Am I alone in thinking that Serenity is one of the Best Sci-Fi movies ever. I dont hear people talk about it much but that movie realy impressed me. Just Looking for fans to chat about it.
Of course i liked the series. Was that a made for T.V. Movie? The one thing about a movie is you have to suspend disbelief and Serenity was believable to me and great writing. The Dialog was excellent . Funny and realistic. And of course i love chicks that can kick ass.
I don't enjoy some of the more, ehm, how shall I put this, "retro" sci-fi if you get me, things like Forbidden Planet, Star Trek and Planet of the Apes simply don't interest me, but Serenity, well, what can I say.
The writing was solid, the performances were solid and the action sequences were solid. Nothing genre-breaking, no magnificent backdrop that might equal Star Wars, but it has wit and charm and I loved it.
More in tune in spirit than the Original Star than the new Star Wars (although Queeq think's I'm off my nut by saying that).
Joss Whedon is the creator of Firefly/Serenity. He also created Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Movie and series) although that was pretty cack and he is set to direct X-Men 4, I believe.
Firefly was a great Show, Unfortunately Fox is stupid and shuts down a great Show. And yes, Serenity is a great movie. I don't think some of the critics think otherwise, but yeah I wish they continued with the show Firefly.
I am not familiar with firefly. I didn't see a western correlation with serenity. i just thought that they were portraying a more realistic idea of the future without everyone having a laser gun or supper powers and having to struggle to survive as apposed to walking up to the food dispenser and saying "Tea,old grey" and it appears.
Firefly/ Serenity rock- and Firefly is very Western, Serenity not so much. Though Mal still uses a freakin' six gun...
Hell, take away the spaceships and call the planets countries and its a western. Brilliant series, absolutely brilliant. Same goes for the film. My favourite TV series of all time. Anyone seen the R. Tam Sessions also?
