Default Serenity the Film

WOW! Just got back from the early showing of this movie today. Better then I expected. Sad as well! I will not give out any details.

If you are going to go see this movie...you MUST watch the FireFly series first. I can not stress that enough! You will be lost and the story will not have the impact.

The CGI was great...the story was down right first rate! The acting was dead on as well.

For a minute I thought it was a bit like the original Trasnporter.. Maybe I'll catch it.

Looks good but I haven't seen the series so I guess I won't even bother.

You do NOT need to see the series before you see the film. In fact, the opening to the film clears up some things that were never explained before.

It DOES help a bit to see the series, as it gives you a lot of background on the claracters, but even without it you can easily figure out the plot, it's the usual good guys vs. bad guys with no surprises whatsoever.

That doesn't mean it's a bad film, it's just not exactly original. Lets face it, very few are these days. I would rate Serenity far better than any of the new star wars films, but not as good as the original 2, and maybe not a lot better than the third. It's much better than 5th. element, and nowhere near as good as Blade Runner. I can't think of any Star Trek film that would beat it either, not that that's saying much.

It really is fairly well done, and I think the spoiler hinted at up top has to do with the fact that the original series was canceled after only 10 shows, and there's not much chance of this franchise turning into anything more than a one off.

It IS worth seeing though.

Loved it. I would recommend anyone to go see it as you can see a summary of the Firefly series on the internet which will clear up any background holes anyways. 11/10!
