Serenity
Two kids
from work and I hit up a midnight screening of
Serenity last Thursday night. The screening kicked ass because the theatre was jam packed with fan-boys/girls and everyone, including myself seemed to really enjoy the hell out it. Bottom line: though the summer is over, its the best "summer movie" of the year. Yes, better than Batman. Here's the catch-- does it translate to viewers who haven't seen
Firefly? I believe the answer is both yes and no. They do a terriffic job of catching everyone up to the plotline, but the films best moments are pay-off for those who are fans of the show. In fact, I think I can safely say that there was a moment in "Serenity" that caused the loudest collective gasp I've ever heard in a theatre, but I know for certain that the same response wouldn't be at a screening with the average public.
So did you see it, and have you seen the show? What's the verdict?
