Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.
Also, loved the movie. (But love the show more.)
Luuuucy. 'Splain.
I haven't seen the movie but I read the review over at AICN and it really rang true not the likeability of the plots because that's subjective but how it's set up for the non fans and how the characters are handled.
I think the movie was a better movie than the show, and the show was a better show than the movie.
Seems sensible to me.
tommyrot, brenda m and Narrator, thanks for the trailer scoop!
From the sound of it, maybe the AMC theaters have got it while the others may not?
The place I saw it was a Cinemark. But it was also in Wisconsin, so I doubt that really helps pinpoint things.
Just to help muddy those waters with another datapoint, I also saw the Serenity trailer attached to BB in Oregon at a Cinemark.

Don't need to, as it's been said:

Essentially, what I want in my little fangirl heart is just a Very Big Screen Episode of Firefly. Which would, of course, be a terrible movie. There are things you can do on TV that you can't do on film, like spending a long time developing characters and relationships, and establishing setting, almost all scope things. I prefer the TV scope, and after being used to seeing this story in the TV medium, seeing it on film was jarring. I wanted them to take this movie and make it 2 or 3 episodes.
But we'll take what we can get.
So any chance of a screening to coincide with the San Diego Comic Con?

It's funny because I've seen people say this is more like an episode on a bigger scale than a movie. I felt like that about some of the Star Trek movies. I'm curious to see for myself.

I have heard that this is a possibility but, will deny it if questioned.
The Serenity trailer was attached to Batman Begins out here in exurbia. So, very likely.

It was like a summary of several episodes, if anything. Or, I guess I can see why they might think it was like an episode, in the sense that there really ought to be some before and after that we don't get, because it was a movie. Nine people is too many for two hours to handle, and really was almost too many for 13 hours to handle, and I think this is what upsets me, that they couldn't have every member of the cast on screen for hours on end being important, because people won't sit through that.
I hope that wasn't a spoiler.
