Joss Whedon Is My Mater Now 　


Witty, Visceral, Eye-Popping, a Cut above the Genre..
"Serenity " is a well written & acted movie.
It adds on to the Firefly story line and gives the die hard fan more answers to some of the original series questions.
Out of the sad and struggling box office of this year, "Serenity" is a shining beacon, even if its raggedy around the edges.
The only movie that- ever- has had me literally laughing one minute and then crying the next, I can't recommend this enough.
Get in on this quirky, underground secret while you can.

Ever seen a series called Firefly ??
There's a pretty good chance that not only have you not seen it, but until this year, you'd never heard of it.
That's because it only ran for 15 episodes (including the two part pilot...which was actually broadcast last ), despite generally good critical reception and fan appeal.
However, soundly beating Star Trek to the prize for 'movie based on a series with the shortest broadcast run', this autumn Serenity came to our screens. (As an aside, if you live in the States, you can see Firefly on Fridays on the Sci-Fi Channel. It's also out on DVD as a box set with the full run of episodes).

Whilst Serenity is not only based on, but, in fact, is a direct sequel to Firefly, it is not necessary to have seen the series in order to understand and enjoy the film.
I have seen part of one or two episodes - certainly not enough to enlighten me before seeing the film as to the characters, worlds and basic plotline, and yet, I enjoyed Serenity immensely. But I'm jumping ahead of myself.

Hopefully getting the recognition it deserves.!!
"Serenity ", the spectacular cinematic spin-off of the cult hit TV show Firefly, delivers a crescendo of plot twists & hard-hitting action sequences that tell the gripping story or a ragtag band of contract highwaymen set 500 years in the future.
Joss Whedon's vision of the future trades in the traditional clean and polished sci-fi genre for a gritty universe that makes the characters real and vibrant.
The dialog is crisp, stylized, and often witty, further immersing the viewer in this sci-fi western epic adventure.
Yah. I it.!!
You may have worked this out.!!
Serenity Rocks.
It has humour and pathos; action & reflection.

However, in the interest of fairness, I'll note that this film probably would not appeal as much to those folks who don't enjoy science fiction.
It is full of action, and has some violence (though I personally don't think it deserves the 15 rating ).
It can be confusing, especially in the first half hour, to those who have never seen Firefly - and especially to those who have never heard of it.
Some people might find the Western settings and language a bit hokey.

The film is about 2 hours long.
I did not, however, find the time dragging, and I didn't look at my watch once.
Im very pleased I saw "Serenity " in the cinema on the big screen, as it is big in scope and panoramic.
Having said that, I surely hope that this comes out on DVD in the not too distant future.
In short, this has been the best science fiction film I have seen in a very, very long time (even beating most of the Star Trek franchise, would you believe! )
All in all an excellent ride, looking forward to the next Whedon flic, whatever it is.

If your a fan of the Firefly, you gotta go see Serenity.
If you never saw the show, you will still most likely like the movie, but you probably wont laugh at all of the little things..
Some gr8 surprises & unexpected de%*hs (dont want to give anything away)
While its a disadvantage not having seen the series, the movie stands on it own.
Wonderful characters, ones the audience can relate to, played by fine actors who deliver memorable, witty dialogue. ..... My only complaint, too short.
