Serenity Rocked (SPOILERS)

Recommended Posts

I just got back from seeing Serenity and I thought it rocked.

 

I thought the story was great, I was glad we got

to find out where the reavers Originated from and why they are the way they are.

 

The cast's acting was first class (Chiwetel Ejiofor was superb as The Operative) and river kicked *buttocks*, I also thought the special effects were excellent (what a space battle :( :) ).

I was really sad when Shepherd Book and Wash Died, I heard that someone was going to die but I didn't think they would kill off two main characters.

 

Overall it was an excellent movie and I plan on seeing it again.

I liked it. It did a great job explaining the back-story, (even if it twisted it a bit according to my son) the effects were great and I really liked the characters and the ship (though it looked a bit odd.) It filled the void of not having any new Trek rather nicely. Favorite line: Are we crashing again? :(

I loved it too! Do you think they will make more or start the series again?

 

Favorite line 'Like a leaf on the wind'

Not much of a chance. What I've heard most frequently is that the studio would need to make at least $80 million (domestic & overseas box office combined) for another movie to be made. Currently Serenity's domestic box office is under $25 million (and its theatre run should be over within a week or two) and its overseas box office is under $10 million. Those combined don't even make up the production cost of $39 million (which doesn't include advertising and promotion).

I enjoyed this movie. I really want to see the series now, and it looks like the first episode of Firefly will be airing next week on Sci-fi. I'm actually looking foward to it.

No I haven't seen the movie. I watched Firefly a couple of times when it first aired and didn't really care for it so I'm not going to bother. I did see one sci-fi movie lately - Chicken Little. LOL

I Love This Movie. In fact I've watched my DVD at least a couple dozen times. Sometimes every night for a week. I'm even watching it right now. There was something that kept bugging me about the first classroom scene and then it struck me. I knew one of the other girls in the class. It was Marley McClean the young actress who played Mezoti on Voyager.

I just got myself and iPod for my birthday and then, even though I have the Firefly DVD set, I bought the Firefly downloads from iTunes. Now I can watch it anywhere.

I loved Serenity. I thought it was a great follow up to the show. Though I don't think they made Jayne stupid enough :P

 

Haven't watched my DVD in awhile...need to do that. :)
