Gain SERENITY with new film.
This is one that the Chief has a BAD hankering to go see soonest. Although I have been a long-time Sci-fi afficianado, a lot of the stuff coming out seems to be long on effects, and somewhat short on substance. The I, Robot film for example, took a concept from Isaac Asimov, and proceded to totally warp it beyond recognition.
Serenity, is a movie sequel to the 11-episode TV series Firefly, which has become an instant cult classic of libertarian science fiction.
Take my love. Take my land.
Take me where I cannot stand.
I don’t care, I’m still free.
You can’t take the sky from me.
Take me out, to the black.
Tell ’em I ain’t comin’ back.
Burn the land and boil the sea.
You can’t take the sky from me.
Have no place I can be
Since I found Serenity.
~ Theme Ballad of Firefly
“That’s what governments are for, [to] get in a man’s way.”
~ Mal Reynolds, Captain of Firefly-Class Boat Serenity
Hey, with an attitude like that, it’s GOT to be great. Whether or not you’re a sci-fi fan, go see it. This sort of content needs to be supported in the media market-place if we don’t intend to give it all up to the Oliver Stones, Michael Moores, and Brabra Streisands of the world.
GO SEE SERENITY!
I saw this on Friday evening.
It is one of the BEST films ever made. I dare say that it has the potential of being one of the greatest sci-fi franchises ever. It is certainly better than anything Star Trek has delivered in the past 6 years (since Deep Space 9 ended).
Yes, it is definitely a must-see.
