Serenity Preview - No Spoilers

[Berandor]

My favorite episodes are Serenity, Jaynestown (the crew's faces! ), Ariel (hands of blue), War Stories, Objects in Space.

But considering it's the first season, the episodes are really of an astonishing quality. Even the bad ones are better than a good part of what's still on TV.

And in Germany, I'll have to wait and dodge spoilers until November Nothing to say from my fear that the dubbing will be bad.

Incidentally, I would love a spoiler-filled thread somwhere. Perhpas at the Rat-Bastard Boards, or I have boards that I normally use for my own campaign that has a general forum I could offer up. A couple of other folks there saw the screening, and it would make a nice out of the way place to talk.

If there's interest, let me know. The Rat-Bastard boards are linked in my sig, or my own forums are at crystalmarch.com

There is a special hell for those who post spoilers on spoiler free thread. Thanks for removing them.

If you are interested, there are the message forums on the official fan site. They have a spoiler-filled forum for those who have seen the movie already. Click on "Join the Browncoats" from the official movie website.

So is there anything there for someone who wasn't very impressed with what he saw on Firefly the TV show? Will I have had to seen all the episodes of the show to "get it" Will this movie convert the unbelievers like me? I only saw a couple of Firefly eps before it was cancelled, wasn't moved by them. Maybe I'll try watching them again when Sci-Fi re-airs them.

Well, I really liked the few, non-linear episodes when they aired on Fox, and became a bigger fan when I bought the DVDs. I also really enjoyed the sneak-peek movie, but have a really hard time trying to think how it might play to the un-initiated. Even so, I'll take a stab at it:

I believe the director's goal really is to tell a good story here, not just cater to the fanboys. I thought a very good job of explaining the backstory of the movie (short history of the universe voice-over, followed by a scene which takes place before the TV series and seamlessly blends into the movie-time present.) Fans are even given new info here. The humor was all very in character and relevant (and funny), very little "insider" type stuff. There were a couple of character introductions (Book and Inara) I thought might seem a little shallow for the non-fan (proto-fan?), but don't think it could have been helped without getting too expository.

Overall, I would strongly recommend the movie for the uninitiated, guardedly for the unconverted, and enthusiasticaly for the disciples of Joss

Is there a spoiler thread somewhere on this same topic? I want to be completely spoiled, RIGHT NOW.

EDIT: and I don't want to have to join another messageboard to get it.

I just ran a search for you. Nope, it doesn't look like anyone has a spoiler thread going on this here. Sorry.

Can you block yourself from clicking the link, cause I have no Willpower.

i strongly advise not clicking the spoilers link.

i also strongly advise not seeing the movie without watching the tv show. while the movie might be enjoyable for some of the dialogue and action sequences, any emotional impact the movie might have will be lost if you arent already attached to the characters. While the movie might do an ok job of explaining the characters to new viewers so you can understand the film, I don't know if it does such a good job getting you emotionally invested in the characters so you can FEEL the film.

i think that made sense.
