I went. I liked. It didn’t suck. I know why they had to do the ‘world saving‘ stuff – nobody likes a low scale movie.
Apart from that, I hope there is more to come from that universe because I find it an interesting place to see, but don’t over-do it like Buffy. Maaan I was sick of it by the end and just wanted it to be over.
For all the fanboys: Please don’t shoot me!
Serenity?
Why will I be going to see Serenity. It’s simple really. When I first saw the series I was not impressed. I think I was in a bad place personally and just didn’t appreciate it. Upon repeat viewing I will have to say that the series really made me think about what life could be like in the future, and how a system such as Traveller with it’s varied tech levels might actually come to exist.
Simple premise, simple stories, well drawn characters. Add in the frontiers of space and it works well.
Shame it didn’t last, but I think a lot of the folks never sat around to give it a second look like I did.
