Serenity NOW!!!!!
Well; I'm back from Serenity what a ride. I will try not to give up too much here. I will repost on Saturday after I have seen the movie for the third time...... So here it goes..... Holy Shit Batman
that was freaking AWESOME. Not just good but AMAZING!! The movie was Serenity not Firefly not to say it was a complete departure from our beloved TV show. It was it's own complete movie; even non fans will enjoy this non (and I mean NON FREAKING) stop action packed movie. The movie goes into a bit of the back story of River and Simon (the Brother and Sister the the Firefly-Serenity picks up at the beginning of the TV series); and really helps to kick off the movie. The first ten minutes of the
movie introduces the heroin, hero and bad guy. The "Bad Guy" is an extremely interesting character with an honor code that is completely intriguing. Driven, compelled, remorseless, relentless, and with no excuses or sadness for what he knows he is.
The action is spectacular. The acting is spot on. There were a couple of mildly wooden moments at the beginning. Kind of like old Army buddies getting together after a long time apart, just takes a minute for the rust to come off and then it's a well oiled machine. The jokes are as sarcastic and sardonic as ever. The pace of the movie is extremely fast but, is put together tighter than a nuns ass. The moments with the Reavers are truly terrifying. They make you jump out of your damn seat more than once. The story makes total sense out of why The Alliance is after River so relentlessly (which was something that was a little lacking in the series). The direction and camera work was remarkable. Joss Whedon is something truly marvelous. Brave and daring and true to his vision of the world where there are people who will do right just because it's right but, it's over crowded with people who will be herded around by mediocrity and even full on evil Bureaucracy. Also; for the final 15 minutes of this movie Joss has the biggest set of cast iron balls dragging on the ground behind him you could ever imagine. BRAVO. BRAVO. BRAVO.
10 out of 5 stars ********** if I wasn't going to get bored very quickly from typing stars I would go on and on. I plan on seeing this movie at least two more times in the theater. It is for sure
already a top 3 sci-fi movie. Probably a top 5 movie overall and after it all has a chance to settle it could be 3 or 4 overall. Sprint to see this movie. If your date falls trying to keep up with you; fuck 'em. Leave 'em for the Goramm Reavers!!
