Serenity

Was good. Very good. I am very tired today (we got home around 11.45pm), but it was worth it. I won't say too much, as I don't want to give away any spoilers, but:

It follows quite a movie-formula structure

Tonally it's a little less warm than the TV show as a whole

The stakes are raised quite high, and the tension that goes with it is very well executed

It's very, very pretty. Nicely done sfx

It felt a lot more SF than Western (not that the TV show was all that Western really, but the film is quite SF).

I think non-Firefly fans will be able to follow and enjoy the story, and Firefly fans will be very satisfied.

Two thumbs up - but I say no more.
