Serenity

[neuralbuddha]

Yes, it's Firefly, the movie. Yes, it's cowboys in space. 5.000000 out of 10. Highly mediocre.

I may have to stop watching science fiction. I think I might have seen all of it.

I will have to dissagree with you about serenity. I thought is was clever and funny. What did peerietrows and kropotkin29 think of it?

Oh, everyone in the world likes it except me. spacelem almost looked he was going to take a pop at me cos I've been slagging it off. The Metro called it a "breath of fresh air that has invigourated the genre" or some such guff. Fair enough if the last scifi film you saw was "Aliens V Predator". As usual, I'm the only one thats right.

Just saw it Rik, and it actually lived upto expectations, there wasn't too much dialog at all, just enough infact. you have to remember that some viewers of the film won't have seen the series, and such some exposition is required. The plot was better than one would expect from a tv-film crossover aswell.

Grrrrrrr! I don't have to remember Jack Shit if I don't care to! The film was supposed to be independent of the series and didn't require the characters to be connected to it. My point still stands. Bah.

BTW what over TV film crossovers are you referring to? I thought Charlies Angels was ace. Well, the second one anyway. It was sheer exploitation and didn't pretend to be anything else. Have there been any recent TV adaptations from series post about 1985? Apart from children's shows, anyway, some of which are pretty good.

mission impossible, which was a bit gash, the second was ok, but the first was realy not good, the recent Star Treck films, starskey and hutch, south park.

Mission Impossible and Starsky and Hutch are both made from pre 1985 series, the South Park movie may not have been to everyone's taste but it was very well done. The Star Trek movies are fair comment but a while ago now. I would add the X-Files movie to that as well.
