We identify more strongly with the characters because we smile at their -- and our -- flaws.Serenity didn't have that. To fit in a 2+ hour movie timeslot, background, exposition, actual story, and resolution all had to be rolled up and crammed in together. A lot had to be sacrificed, and to me, the movie felt more like a very good science fiction movie with vaguely similar characters. They just didn't feel the same, without laughing.I'd worry, a lot, that a movie Dr. Who would have to give a lump of background and lose the grinning charm that makes the series work; taken too far the other way, it becomes the movies we've already got: cheesy drek.But oh, how I'd like for it to be done, and done 'correctly' <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
