Although, going into the screening, I didn't know it was going to be "Serenity". The guys just said, "a sci-fi movie".I never saw the tv show, so when I saw this movie, it was seeing the characters and the setting for the first time. I give it a 6 out of 10. To me, it was just so-so. Not bad, but nothing that made me walk out of the theatre saying, "definitely going to see that again" or "I gotta get that on DVD when it hits stores". It did have a few cool moments though, but not enough to elevate it higher than I felt it was at.Granted, I can tell while watching the movie that those who've had more investment in the characters and were also fan of the shows will like it more than I. I'm not sure how many fans though, will just say that its just a slightly higher budget longer tv episode. Much of the film, to me, still felt like I was watching a tv show rather than a movie.I think if you like the show, you'll like the movie. Even some who didn't like the show may find it entertaining, but that will be a bigger random factor I feel. I think some will also just walk away going "eh....its alright I guess". Something to consider too, who knows what post editing they'll do after the test audience screening. Certain areas that dragged may be be re-edited, so on and so forth.</blockquote>
