Well last night we went to see Serenity, not sure if we were giving into lots of hype or if we were going to see a good movie. I can now say that this is a very entertaining movie.
For those not familiar with the movie, it is based on the series Firefly which was killed by one those oh so intelligent TV networks after only one season. Firefly had gained quite a following and there was an incredible response to its cancellation, including fans going to the extent of raising funds trying to encourage the network to give the show another chance.
Obviously Firefly never got the opportunity to film another season, thus the original founder of the series, Whil Wheaton decided to make a followup movie, and Serenity was born. Even though Serentiy starts where the series left off, you really don't have to be familliar with the series in order to enjoy the movie.
Serenity is a good mix of fantasy, sci fi and action genres. Although not a good movie for younger children due to some violence and scary monsters it is great for everybody else. As far as movies go I'd say this definitely rates an eight out of ten which is quite incredible given the quality (or lack there of) of todays movies.
Give it a shot, I'm sure you won't be dissapointed.
