Yeah, that movie that is suppose to be the end of Firefly. I just watched it and man was it good. Really sad and disturbing though. Anyone else see it? is anyone planning on seeing it?

I'm going Fri. A friend of mine saw it last month and said it was one of the top 5 sci-fi movies ever.

I saw a premier showing of it here in Kansas City about a month ago. It was awesome although it had some unexpected plot to it.

This is what I had on my shirt when I went!

I'm going to a preview screening tonight.

According to one of the reviews I read, for contractual reasons there will be no return of the TV series, but according to a Universal Pictures spokesman, if Serenity grosses $80 million in its first two weeks there will probably be a sequel. If it grosses $80 million each of its first two weeks, there will definitely be a sequel.

The movie only cost about $40 million to make.

This looks GOOD!

I can't believe they finally made a movie!!! I think we should all try to see it at least 3 or 4 times.If the movie does good do you think there's a possibility Fox or whoever holds the contract could bring it back? They have the fan base, I think.

I'm taking all my employees to see it on Friday. The last movie I saw was iRobot (which was pretty good), but most movies made in the last 5 years or so have been awful; enough that I haven't had the desire to go see them.

I can tell you already that I will be seeing Serenity multiple times on the big screen.

FOX sucks almost as much as CBS in cancelling GOOD series, I'm STILL pissed about Fox Cancelling Alien Nation. (And, yes, Firefly). Fortunately, Buffy The Vampuire Slayer started out on the WB - if, IMO it had STARTED on Fox, it would have been axed 1st season.

I plan on seeing Serenity, but might be a while. Glad to hear it's good though

Excellent movie, I'd give it 2 AR15's up.

The end sucked... IMHO. sniff sniff.

Posted: 9/30/2005 2:46:06 PM EDT

[#37]

Just got back.

WOW, what a movie, best sci-fi I've seen in years. Fast pace, good story, and not afraid to take chances.

Just keeps going and going and going..

And I was suprised the end was the way it was.

I must need to renew my man card since I forgot her....

Why oh why did Jayne say clips. Arrrg. At least later in the movie he redeems himself and says magazines.

Almost 100 people at the 2:05 showing. That is quite a few on an early afternoon. Hope it does extremely well at the box office.

The ending perfectly fits the tone of the entire series - dark, sad, and yet faintly hopeful.

It was magnificent.

I just got back fom seeing it...it rocked!! I did cry like a little bitch though

It rocked in ways that few movies today rock.

i just saw it. LOVED IT! go out and see it.

it is an old fashioned good movie - great characters, action packed, funny, excellent dialog, up lifting plot - fun for the whole family

you gotta support movies like this, so the studios will make more good movies instead of pieces of crap

Agree with all of you. Yes it was sad in parts. My wife wanted the original opening music included, but she can't have everything. Went to the 5:00 show and it was almost full. The line for the 7:45 show was quite long also. I hope it does well.

Saw it- liked it. All the original cast and the character development of each is not quite what I expected. River's gung-fu is extra-ordinary! And that assassin fellow ain't no slouch either.
