WOW!

We just got back from seeing Serenity. IÂ’m glad Ktreva and I were able to see it. This was a great movie. I absolutely loved it. If you like Sci-Fi, Westerns and especially if you like both, you will love this movie. We both left the theater absolutely loving this movie. If you get a chance to go see it, IÂ’d recommend it, especially if you are a Firefly fan. If you never saw an episode of Firefly youÂ’ll still be able to understand what is going on. Ktreva didnÂ’t watch as much of the series as I did and she still was able to follow what was going on and enjoy the movie.

It was a mix between action and comedy that just worked. A lot of one-liners that had the entire audience laughing and action scenes that kept your attention. The story line was great, the special effects where damn good and the acting was some of the best by the entire cast that IÂ’ve seen in a movie. There were some scenes I wish they had elaborated on. Sure some of the plot was a little predictable, but I havenÂ’t seen a movie in the last 10 years that isnÂ’t.

We liked this movie so much we could have gone and seen it for a second time tonight if we had the time to do so.

For those of you that havenÂ’t seen the movie IÂ’m putting the spoilers in the extended entry. SO DONÂ’T READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU DONÂ’T WANT TO KNOW ANYMORE UNTIL YOUÂ’VE SEEN THE MOVIE!!! IÂ’m a little disappointed in the fact that one of my favorite main characters was killed off. However the way they killed him was interesting. Two of the mains from the original show get killed, I can understand killing off Shepard. I just wish they had explained more about his strange past before they did. There were so many unanswered questions I still have about him. Wash dying just kind of sucked. I loved this character, he always had some great one-liners and Alan Tudyk is just a great actor. Why they decided to kill off his character is lost on me.

The air battle between the Reevers and the Alliance was too short for me; I would have loved to have seen more of that. Especially since it was the first time you saw any emotion out of the Operative. It was over with too quickly for me. Then again I am a sucker for a good space battle.

I think a little more explanation into the situation on Miranda would be helpful. They do give some, but a little more would have been nice. I understand that most of the population just lost the will to live while the remainder became Reevers due to the drug(?) they put in the air. Maybe I missed it, but they could have gone into a little more detail as to exactly how.

I would have loved to seen more of the melee between River and the Reevers. Not that it would have helped the story any, but I just loved the way the choreographed it her fighting.

I could go into so much more, but my descriptions just wonÂ’t do the movie justice. ItÂ’s just something you will have to go see for yourself.
