Just a quick review tonight, followed by a longer write-up tomorrow and a little on my evening playing the role of the press.
First thoughts: Serenity is quite an impressive piece of science fiction that I heartily recommend. There was action, humor, intensity, plot and quality, unforced dialogue aplenty — quite possibly enough of each to distribute among all three of the Star Wars prequels and salvage each of them. The audience surrounding me, a mixture of longtime fans of the Firefly television series that served as the movie’s foundation and those like myself, newcomers to the world we were being shown, certainly seemed receptive, relishing the multiple laugh-out-loud moments and wrapping up the flick with an enthusiastic round of applause.
