- The crew of Serenity makes a flawless transition from television to film. In retrospect, Joss Whedon's vision may have been a little too wide in scope for TV. In my opinion, the premise works better on a grander stage.
- Fans of Firefly will reap the most rewards, but thanks to some great writing and savvy execution there's plenty here for newcomers as well.
- Nathan Fillion may well be on his way to becoming the next Harrison Ford.
- There is more intensity and excitement in this one film than all three of George Lucas' Star Wars prequels combined. And that's a statement I won't back down from.
Lows
- The only real low that could come from this is if people don't go see the film because they didn't watch the show or think it's just for geeks. Those people would be missing out on the beginning of the next great sci-fi adventure franchise.
Torrey's Opinion:
5- Strongly Recommended
4- Recommended
3- A Mixed Bag
2- Sub-par
1- Don't Bother
Random related fact: Serenity is yet another film to be helped along by impressive DVD sales. The Firefly box set is among the top-selling television shows available on DVD. This serves as further evidence that both sides usually win when studios listen to the fans.
