While I was down at the E(xecutive)-Board meeting of the Democratic Party, I caught the opening night showing of Serenity. In LA, you’d expect the movie experience to be just a little improved. For $15 (+1 for MovieTickets.com), you get to sit in the “Director’s Hall” of the Cinema: The Bridge Theatre. That means that you get reserved seating, leather seats, and the volume is cranked to 11. That’s an experience worth repeating.
After watching Serenity, I feel that I really, really, really should have watched the TV series. A lot of character development was probably done on the TV series Firefly, that left the casual watcher unattached when… certain events happened. That being said, it was like watching a 2 hour episode of a decent Sci-Fi show. If you’ve seen it, like Orson Scott Card has, you’ll probably think it’s all that, and a pair of clean socks. I’ll borrow the DVDs or rent them, but for now, I give Serenity a 6.5 out of 10.
