September 30, 2005: Serenity

So . . . I made it to a preview of Serenity Wednesday night.

Wow. Great story, great acting, fantastic CGI starships . . . and it works just fine if you didn't see the TV series. Whedon did an excellent job of compressing the backstory into a few minutes.

If you like science fiction cinema . . . you want to see this film. Really.

If it goes well, there will be a sequel or two. And I'm already anticipating the next Serenity movie more than I've hoped for any sequel since The Empire Strikes Back.

Is that definite enough for you? Go see it.
