Well… it has been one whole week since seeing Serenity. I was waiting to post my review so that people who read my blog that wanted to go see it before I gave my 2 cents could go. Anyways, what can I say about the movie two words (I am liking this two words thing): Pleasently suprised. I was expected a good plot and decent special effects. I was also expecting it to really be more geared to Firefly fans. Meaning if you hadn’t heard of Firefly or watched it, you wouldn’t understand the movie. Well, I was wrong.
This is definately a film to go and see. If you like Sci-fi at all, this is the film you don’t want to miss (Yes even die hard Star Wars fans will like it). I was taken back by some of the SE in this movie; I would swear that ILM did some of the work for this film. The villian, Chiwetel Ejiofor, did an unbelievable job and the cast of the TV series did an excellent job of briding the gap for those non Firefly fans, while making it fun for those who are. Overall, I give this film a 9 out of 10. Star Wars will always remain my favorite Sci-Fi series, but if Firefly returns to TV (or they make more movies), it will be making a bid to be my second. Yes, even better than Star Trek (I can’t believe I am saying that).
