Serenity, a spoiler-free review
Went to see a preview screening of Serenity on Tuesday night. I’ve never been in a cinema where people clapped and cheered the film before. Twas all a bit surreal.
As for the film itself, it was really good. Already being a fan of the Firefly series (rent buy it!), I had high hopes for the movie. In fact, I was a little concerned that it couldn’t live up to my expectations. Thankfully, it exceeded them, with a few surprises and some real “A-ha!” moments along the way.
Given that I knew the characters before entering the cinema, I did of course have a different perspective to any newcomers watching the film. I think Joss Whedon did a reasonable job of introducing the main players and their backgrounds, but only time, critics’ reviews and box office takings will really tell. For my two penn’th, however, I reckon it’s well worth seeing. High quality, no nonsense sci-fi with a liberal sprinkling of humour. 9 out of 10.
Or should that be 10?
BTW, you should tell people to buy Firefly, not rent it. If you rent it then you have to part with it at the end. ;-)
