Review of "Serenity"

Well, this movie was awesome and I'm a relative Firefly newbie in the sense that I only saw 2 episodes. The action was all there and of course it was funny. The plot was solid and engaging. It's really hard to think of things bad about this movie, really. It's not perfect but it's very fun to watch. This is the result of another of Fox's blunders second to canceling Family Guy. Seriously, I know why they release every show now on DVD because they don't know what they screwed up on.

There are some artsy scenes that are visually stunning but may confuse the viewer because they break non-linear time. One of the benefits about not being a TV show is they can really screw with the plot in the sense that, without spoiling, there's a point where it seems like every character is going to die. It's not just suspense, they really may die. Other then that, the visuals are stunning and the universe that is created to really awesome. The characters that are created are easy to relate to and believable.

My Rating: 8-9 out of 10
DVD-worthy: Yeah, I'll get it. Sci-Fi will probably do a midnight run.
