SPOILERS
MAJOR SPOILER WARNING
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
AND YOU HAVE TO CLICK THE LITTLE DOT TO GET FURTHER :P
Serenity the movie
- I will still attempt to keep from completely ruining the film for those who like spoilers but haven't seen it yet :P
Go Joss - Aside from the completely contrived Mr. Universe deus ex machina that was required in order to keep the entire premise moving it was an excellent film. I don't know that it is as good as the series was since the movie was trying to do more and in doing so was unable to concentrate as I would have liked on the smaller and better parts of the crew interactions. Just about everyone got their good throw away lines. And I am happiest with Joss' choice to do the thing that I most did not want him to do - much as I hate to have that happen. More about that - Just as I am happy that someone like Tarantino can make a main stream film like Kill Bill Vol 1 and show it in major distribution at theatres everywhere - I am happy that Joss can do what he did.
That doesn't mean I would resist the urge to knock him sensless if he was in this room, but he would get better eventually and I think most of you agree that knocking the man out would make us all feel a little better.
The acting was good if not great, the plot a bit contrived, the action was excellent but perhaps too much for our quiet band of wanderers. The SFX great as you would expect.
Our particular screening had reel 2 removed from the 1st showing attempt - so we skipped from reavers are coming to Post-Bar-Fight and were very confused but they patched the film back together and we got to see the whole thing after a while.
If someone who has more than a couple hours sleep in the past few weeks can correct the quote, I would very much appreciate it
I am a leaf, I am a leaf on the breeze
More to follow as I recover from lack of sleep and can actually process some of what I saw last night.
