This movie is fantastic! I say "Go See It!"

Oh, and I expect to see the phrase "I aim to misbehave" become a popular tagline on here. :) Go see the movie, and you'll understand why!

Firefly/Serenity is being called the next 'Star Trek' kind of franchise, depending on how much money the movie grosses.

Fox dropped it. But, nets have made similar disastrous decisions in the past.

Star Trek was dropped after 3 seasons. The franchise went on to make $Mega-Millions.

NBC originally broadcast JAG, when was picked up by CBS and ran for a decade.

It will be interesting to see what develops with the Firefly/Serenity franchise.

Indeed. The "Star Wars" of a new generation.

Someone needs to start a thead titled, "Serenity movie depicts conservative rebels vs liberal social hell" or something like that. Show in the title the political signigicance and people here will read the thread. If they read the thread they might go to the movie. If they go to the movie this might become the block buster it needs to be.

I have to say that Mal Reynolds (the ship's captain) is a character that any Freeper could respect, and, as well, are most of the others.

I believe that when the series started, Joss Whedon told Nathan Filon how he wanted the character of Mal Reynolds to be played: "John Wayne"

I second, this movie was awesome. They cut through the crap with a quick narrative wrapped in a flashback, which was brilliant. Every scene advanced the plot, there was no wasted effort. This is the one exception I've made after swearing off the public movie theater experience forever.

A ship could bring you work, a gun would help you keep it. Find a crew, find a job, keep flying.

I loved this movie.

This ties with the penguin movie for #1 of the year, and this is the best scifi I've seen in a decade or two.

I saw the movie Friday. Never saw any Firefly but I'd heard such good things about it. LOVED the movie. Currently halfway through the show. How on Earth did something that good get cancelled?

Next viewing: Friday, at the latest. Dragging friends with me. Wow.

I saw the "Serenity" this past weekend. Loved it, but then I dug the series too. The girl who played River Tam (Summer Glau) did a great job. I liked the character on the TV show, but she took it to a new, spooky level in the film. Something about a girl who wields big honking meat cleavers who's cute and somewhat creepy. Heck of a movie!!

Saw it again last night. Both my brother and his friend thought it was a great flick. I enjoyed it as much as the first time. It really is a movie about fighting against a government that's trying to control every aspect of its citizens' lives (to horrible effect).
