What did you think of the movie?
My vote would be: Love the show, hate the movie.
If the movie were just by itself, it would be an okay sci-fi action flick, but to have it come after such a wonderfully done show was tragic. IMHO, the worst two things in the movie were the killing off of two main characters, and Serenity making noise in space — about drove me nuts.
(I’m not bitter. . . really)
At least the movie explained a few more things about River, though.
Regarding Serenity and “Firefly”:
Nichelle and I love both. The movie provided Joss Whedon with a wonderful opportunity—to complete the stories (for the most part) that were left hanging when the series ended.
The film still handles Firefly’s trademark witty dialog, wonderful characters, and credible action sequences with its usual dignity and grace, while providing one of the best villians in all of science fiction, even if some of the show’s history had to be repeated for those who were not familiar with it. The two scenes of River kicking butt are worth the cost of the DVD all by themselves.
All in all, I give both film and series a very high rating. It’s a shame the series ran only 14 episodes (only 12 televised), given (with the exception of “Lost” what drivel typically survives TV ratings).
