Serenity Mini-Review Comments 13 Comments

December 12th, 2005 , , , ,

Reviews are spoilerfree but beware of comments.

I saw Joss Whedon’s Serenity yesterday. I didn’t intend to see the movie, quite simply because the TV Series never caught my attention and the title sounds like a chick flick.

And those are the only two problems this movie has.

Serenity is everything Star Wars never was, and never could be. It’s a hugely impressive space opera that manages to cram in love stories, epic space battles, strange markets and hover-cars, while at the same time paying tribute to Mad Max, Blade Runner and even Star Wars. All in some two hours.

Here’s my six stars, and sometime next year: my bucks for buying the Firefly DVD set.
