Serenity (2005)

Thanks for the memories!

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Why the amazing reviews? I had to turn off after about 20 minutes! watched The Simpson instead.

I actually saw this movie in the theater before I had ever seen a Firefly episode. It didn't take long after seeing the film though that I tracked down the series and am now on my third box of, sadly, the one and only season as I have worn my other discs out. This movie introduced me to the Firefly universe and I ache that that universe ended with the movie. Although in the last decade there were some graphic novels added, it's still not nearly enough. The characters, the stories, the sincerity, the action, the heart, was all so original despite it feeling so familiar. I am an admitted hard-core Sci-Fi fan. I rank Serenity/Firefly as my favorite Sci-Fi movie/series of all time. Period. The only solace I have to not seeing any new stories is that I re-watch the series and movie often. It's such a joy. And I'll likely be on my 4th box soon.

Some films are just utterly sympathetic. This is one of those. It's a great adventure flick. Not pretentious or deep, but most certainly not ahallow or cheap. Well made, well acted a perfect balance between style and substance. I love this film. When I forst saw it, it charmed my butt off, and now, ten years later, having seen it for the second time, it is just as amusing and nice. If you want to be entertained by quality, this is your movie.
