I felt Josh trusted the viewers to handle the reality in the story and I appreciated that. That's a very good way to put it. We saw it yesterday; wanna go back again, and again. Hubby is waiting til it comes to the local beer and burgers theater. Movies go there after a few weeks, tickets are $5 all the time, and you can eat a meal and drink a brew while you're watching the movie!! It's gonna be great!
You should try to get him to see at at least once at a full-price theater during the first week, when the biggest hunk of your ticket price goes back to Universal. Joss Whedon has two more movies in mind but they won't get made unless Universal makes money on this one.
