Serenity film on ITV4

[rhinochopig]

Heads up - one of the better sci-fi films

[benoli]

ooh . . it's got Jewel Staite in it (that gorgeous Doc from Stargate:Atlantis)

[The_Cheeseman]

It's brilliant. I saw it and immediately ordered the Firefly series it came from.

Serenity is indeed a good film, its a shame they did not make more with the Firefly series.

Really? I nodded off at the cinema.

I've got Serenity and Firefly on DVD - both most enjoyable.

[KANEIT]

As much as I liked the general theme I didn't like the film that much because I feel it relied on the viewer knowing a lot more about each character from the Firefly series. I had never seen Firefly so found it a little taxing trying to give a st about any of the characters. Maybe I'll watch a bit of Firefly and then watch it again.

I have never heard of Firefly but really liked the film.

I dunno. I watched Serenity and enjoyed it before finding out about Firefly! I didn't get too much into the character development, though, I guess.

I'd never seen firefly, and really like sci-fi but this really passed me by.

Really could not see what the fuss was all about. It was OK but I could only imagine it was hyped up by a load of pre-pubescent kids who fancied some of the leads.

Nothing in there that you haven't already seen in 10 other films, and didn't engage with any of the characters. I was expecting to want to go back and see firefly too, but couldn't be bothered after seeing it. The only reason I saw it to the end was that I thought I must be missing something, or that the hype meant is should get better.

I filed it under: Disappointment.

Firefly passed me by but when Serenity came out I got hold of the series and watched that, and then the film. I largely found the series average but the film was totally excellent.

[DKMsport]

I really love Firefly, think its excellent. Serenity just seems like a long episode of Firefly. Its a darn shame they only ever filmed one series really but it does seem to be a bit of a marmite film/series, either you love it or your just not bothered.

I would say that anyone who is yet to see the film, watch Firefly first...it really helps you connect with the characters. Also during the series once you get to episode 6 or 7 the writing seems to get alot better so be patient and see it through to the end.

I personally watch all of Firefly and then serenity in a single sitting every couple of months or so

Just been watching it tonight.

Gave up.


Never seen Firefly so I was watching cold. Perhaps it would have been better withe a different director.

I met Morena Baccarin (Inara in Serenity & Firefly) in Milton Keynes when I was there to do some shopping a few months back, she was there for one of these film conventions things, I didn't realise who she was until later as I hadn't watched the series or film. She's very nice.

Found a photo someone posted on Flckr - that's her with the short hair in the blue top, with Michael Dorn (Worf - Star Trek) in the background.

Yep, real shame, top sci-fi series!

[ironictwist]

Firefly was decent but watching Serenity after is awesome...Especially where Rive absolutley hammers all of those crazy cannibal things by herself...Now that was awesome.

Yep yep...Jewel Staite pre-Stargate, althought she's far hotter in SGA with her leather jacket on &
hair down

Holy...YOU GOT TO MEET INARA?!?!



...I don't like Sci-Fi, honest.
