Reviews:

This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then – explode.

Serenity is written and directed by Josh Whedon. It stars Nathan Fillion, Gina Torres, Alan Tudyk, Morena Baccarin, Adam Baldwin, Jewel Staite, Sean Maher, Summer Glau, Ron Glass and Chiwetel Ejiofor. Music is by David Newman and cinematography by Jack N. Green.

When the captain Mal Reynolds (Fillion) of the space craft Serenity takes on board Dr. Simon Tam (Maher) and his troubled sister River (Glau), it thrusts the entire crew into a world of conspiracy and galactic despots.

Coming at it as a complete novice as regards “Firefly”, the short lived TV show that Serenity is spawned from, I personally have no frame of reference to work from. What I found was a hugely enjoyable sci-fi Western hybrid that deserved a better box office than it got. The cast are all comfortable with each other and very watchable, which isn’t surprising since Whedon has transported them all over from “Firefly”, good move that, while the action quota is high and the black comedy rich.

Where the itches start to appear for newcomers like myself, is that it does feel like an extended TV episode. With a twisty plot that sees Whedon cram much into the 2 hour running time, it demands the utmost attention. Which is fair enough to a degree, but many go (or more pertinently would have gone) into “Serenity” for a sci-fi action adventure, not for a tickle of the cranium. If this contributed to the poor show at the box office? I’m not sure. But you have to think this really was only made for the die-hard fans of the show.

Galling really, because the last third is a ripper of a blockbuster. The action sequences are expertly crafted, the story explodes still further and the principal characters really let loose, particularly the excellent Fillion. Biggest plus of all, the finale doesn’t cop out by insulting those who have stayed the course chartered by the good ship Serenity and its crew. It’s smart genre film making, a very enjoyable film without doubt, but really it’s not got mainstream appeal. Which might suit those die-hards in a selfish kind of why, but that also means we are unlikely to get a sequel. And that’s a shame because a newbie like me could easily stand some more of this whizz bangery. 7/10

This was an extremely poor movie. The weakest character during the TV series, River Tam, confusingly became the story focus in this movie.

Despite never exercising and having a small frame, River fought and K.O.ed a room full of bar patrons.

The crew, mysteriously, were devoted to going to the planet River wanted to visit to help her discover her past despite showing various degrees of hostility toward her during the series ranging from open contempt to advocating her murder.

The main villains do not make sense. They are, supposedly, so wild that they regularly sack planets and cannibalize its inhabitants, but can still work together well enough to fly space ships. The entire population of these wild people came from the planet River wants to visit and from a single research facility. I’d guess about 1,000 research and support personnel were initially infected. They have no way of infecting further individuals, the facility was shut down, and yet their current population is many times the original amount. How?

The plot does not make sense. It is not engaging. None of the characters are interesting. The characters die without emotional impact. Pass on this movie. Like the TV series, this is a waste of time.

SERENITY – Is Everything But!
From PASTO, COLOMBIA-Via: L. A. CA; CALI, COLOMBIA+ORLANDO, FL

Movies inspired by TV shows have always inspired my mistrust. Worse still, if the genre of the film is Sci-Fi! Upon reviewing Serenity’s stats on IMDb, before seeing it, I found myself looking at a rating of 8 out of 10 … Incredibly high! Among the 100,000 titles contained therein, Serenity has to be among the 300 highest. However, as Sci-Fi movies frequently have legions of fans that rate it “10”, sometimes there is quite a breach between the reality of the film and it’s apparent rating! Consequently, I went to see Serenity with relatively low expectations. Well, there are still surprises in life! Although I wouldn’t quite give it an 8, SERENITY has much more going for it than against it. The cast, as is almost always the case in the genre, is composed of little known actors. (Except if you’re a fan of the canceled Firefly series, which served as inspiration for the film.)

From the get-go, I noticed something that really caught my attention. The three main female roles are played by Gina Torres (Cuban-American), Morena Baccarin (Brazil) and Summer Glau (San Antonio, Texas, an American city whose population is nearly 50% Mexican-American). All three women have a very Latin look, yet, at no time, is there ever any mention of their ethnicity. Now, I don’t know about you, but as far as I can remember, this is the first time that I’ve ever seen this! In fact, this is quite a cinematic event, because now Latinos can be assigned all sorts of roles, not just Hispanic ones! There is absolutely NO serenity in Serenity! A tad violent, at times, but nothing really excessive, when taking into account its genre of “Action / Adventure / Sci-Fi / Thriller”. The scenes where CGI us used are well executed. They combine good action scenes, a certain originality, outstanding visuals, and a script that never tries to overcome the context and tone of the story, as us the case in many other films.

As for dialog, there is usually a true skill and deft coolness in the use of language that is not heard and in many dramatic films. In the opening scenes, the acting seems somewhat under par, but the as SERENITY progresses, you see that the performances achieved, usually are in good agreement with the characters. At the end of the day, Serenity achieves a good dose of action and suspense…

7*…. ENJOY / DISFRUTELA !

Why are people going ape for this?
Just to give warning, I know nothing of the television show. I didn’t even know it was based on a show until a co-worker of mine told me it was. On to what counts: I really don’t know what people found so fantastic about this movie. I mean… it sure wasn’t as bad as The Ring 2 (don’t get me started on that one), but apart from some decent visuals and a fair share of comic relief, there was nothing at all I found to be the slightest bit enjoyable about this movie. For starters, it was WAY too long for it’s own good. They could have probably compressed it to about an hour and 15 minutes and it would have been a little better. Every five minutes I found myself tilting my head back in my seat and sighing/grunting due to complete boredom. I constantly sat there asking myself “how are the people I’m here with staying awake?”.

The story really didn’t seem like anything new.

****Semi-spoiler**** (Not sure if this gives anything away about the general plot. Again, not familiar with the television show) To be honest it reminded me a lot of Equilibrium. The whole alliance/rebels thing, paired up with the “perfect society” and brainwashing idea is seeming a little played out for me now I guess. And what’s the deal with having these somewhat super-human dudes that know all the kung-fu nerve killing pressure points and crazy stuff like that? I know it’s sci-fi, but really… it’s not that cool unless its… well, a kung-fu movie. ****End semi-spoiler****

Quite literally, the only reason I didn’t fall asleep was the constant little bits of humor. Those “Well… you can’t” type jokes were going off left and right. They showed up even in the tenser scenes which will definitely catch you off guard. One second you’ll be waiting for a firefight you know is going to happen (another downfall, it was pretty predictable), and they’ll toss in a pg-13-friendly sex joke out of nowhere.

The big final “oooooooh didn’t see that coming” wasn’t too horrible. Quite frankly I never even gave the slightest bit of thought that that was what’s going on (but that could be ’cause I was dozing off). It kind of gave the movie a little bit of substance so it’s not one of those “what the hell was the point” movies like the Blair Witch Project. But overall, it’s insane resemblance to the movie I mentioned in the semi-spoiler just made it a bore-fest for me. It definitely wouldn’t be #118 on my top 250, that’s for sure.
