I saw the test screening of Serenity and that was my first taste of it. I've heard of the series and the basic premise. I thought it sounded like something worth checking out. But just never got around to doing it. Saw the movie, and was kinda...."Eh, its okay". I like the concept of the space western, but in my opinion, it was not executed right. If there was a recipe for this, it seemed Whedon used 2cups of sci-fi, and only 1 teaspoon of Western. A lot of the guns they use aren't very western-esque. The costumes weren't too western -esque either. It only seemed like two characters were western-esque and that was it. That...and maybe the kitchen....but that was really it.Directing wise....the movie didn't feel like a movie. The sets, the camera work, the fight scenes, they all seemed very TV-ish still.I  didn't think it stunk. Still was more enjoyable than Andromeda or Lexx, but it didn't wow me. And it certainly didn't elevate my fanboy nature to the level I see others exhibit.But like an above poster said, I'm glad others really enjoy it. Just not my thing is all. I know I have some things I love and nobody else gets it.</blockquote>
