Very Nice Show. Good Movie
Hey everyone. I wanted to comment on this ever since I watched a Firefly episode with my roomate, but never got around to do it.
Actually, I also didn't want to comment on it because I hadn't seen Serenity. However, that problem has been solved since I watched it yesterday.
I though Firefly was a very good series, full of humor and wit, and insight in what could be our future life. It was an off-beat show, quite different from the other science-fiction shows that are out there, at least those that I know and have learned to love.
As for the movie, as good as it was, had it's weaknesses, mainly the missing family feeling that had been growing during the entire series. I thought the movie was a lot darker than the series
Spoiler Alert! (highlight to read)
Well, main characters die... I consider that being dark...
Of course, that was a good thing for the movie itsself. It gave a lot more depth to the story. However, I felt there was something missing that was there in the series, and it's that family spirit that they all grew to feel toward each other. Also, there was less of that sarcastic humor. Of course, there was this excellent "Do you want to run this ship?" line, which made me laugh, but the mood just wasn't light enough to allow more of that humor show.
The movie turned and twisted in ways I didn't expect... I expected a certain thing, and they did something else instead, and that pleased me considering that movies tend to get more and more predictable these days, always falling into the old clich?s, which this movie fortunately did not do.
Well, I would have many more things to say about it, but I will not bore you to tears or spoil the movie completely if you haven't seen it yet by telling everything that has happened in the movie and commenting on it. I hope you have a great night/day!!!
