Serenity (Trailer) - Join the Browncoats!
http://www.apple.com/trailers/universal/serenity/
I'm still shaking...
I've been waiting for Serenity to come out ever since I first caught wind of it. The movie installation continuing the ill-fated Firefly series by Joss Whedon, Serenity continues the adventures of the crew of the Firefly...
The series flawlessly blends Sci-Fi and Western genres--with the good qualities of each and none of the down sides. In-depth, fascinating characters (as with any Whedon series), a stunning backdrop, and a storyline that really engages you. The background, meanwhile, is the most 'believable' view of the future I've seen: there's still the sort of disparity between rich and poor and social problems you have now, technology is all realistic (the only stretch is terraforming planets), and no aliens... it's all about humanity.
I suggest everyone to check out the trailer. If you like it, check out the series. And if you like that (as I'm sure you will), check out the movie come this September. KF

Oh. My. God.
I've only seen the first episode of Firefly, and now I must see the rest. That is ... yeah. It definitely looks rockin'. ^_^

Yay, more Browncoats! I'm a giganimous fan of Joss Whedon's work...have the complete series of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel on DVD, and my Firefly DVDs should be arriving soon.
I'm counting the days until this movie comes out, and I'm SUPER excited about the news that Mr. Whedon will be writing and directing the Wonder Woman movie.

I almost forgot to recruit more Browncoats here...
The movie is absolutely, shockingly amazing. There are elements which couldn't really be conveyed so well in just two hours (e.g., the characters are all extremely deep, but some didn't get enough screen time to show multiple facets of their personality). But on the whole, it was absolutely amazing.
I'm seeing if I can't muster up the nerve to see it a second time. I got a bit emotional the first time around. KF

Ah, I saw it the night it came out with a friend of mine. He isn't into sci-fi much, but he enjoyed it a whole lot.
It was... yeah, wonderful.
Kiz... how do the episodes of the series correspond to this? I've only seen the first episode.

The episodes are all events that occurred before the movie. The most valuable thing in them is that they give a chance for each major character to shine, and get you to really know who they are (one reason why the movie was so touching for me).
There are also specific events that explain why each character is where he or she is. It's nothing that can't be picked up by context, but it sheds some light on things that happened before. The comics do the same. KF

I really do agree. Having enjoyed the television show immensely, I was joyfully apprehensive about the movie. Luckily for all the Firefly fans, it was amazing. Just sitting there in the theatres it blew me right away. The characters were really well used (if on the assumption that you'd seen the television series) and the plot was great. I'm glad they tied it historically to the show as well.
All in all, a great end for a great show.

It really answers a lot of the questions that you had with the show, but it did it in a way that you didn't need to know what those questions were in order to understand the answers. (I hope that makes sense)
I loved it. I loved it a lot. The series is truly a masterpiece. Go se it!

Oh sure, please feel free to talk about the movie. I've been posting semi-regularly at Fireflyfans.net lately, though the traffic there is somewhere around 50x as fast as it is here.
But yeah, just don't forget to mark all spoilers between the spoiler tags.
[spoiler]Well, the hwoon dahn at the 'academy' was talking up River's military potential. I'm thinking she was going to be used as something between a spy and an assassin. I mean, the psychic abilities plus her martial artistry make her a natural for that.[/spoiler] KF
