Serenity Review

I saw Serenity last night with Ross, ‘s officemate, and sorta with and . See, I ended up sticking around campus to hitch a ride with Ross. He had some stuff to take care of, so we rushed across town at the last minute in his SUV, and through a couple of errors I got in just in time to see the THX sound thing go across the screen as I walked in. I spotted Brian and James on the other side of the theater, but having been requested by Ross (who did give me a ride there after all) to grab a seat in the front row, I took a nearby seat and sat down to enjoy the movie.

It’s a good movie, and I haven’t seen Firefly, though it might be cool to now. I could also see watching the movie again in a month or so, though I doubt I will until it hits dvd. It’s mystery, action, tough little guys in a big dangerous world, character transformation, going from the struggle to survive into changing the rules of the game. It has commonalities with The Matrix (I) (which leaves me with a foreboding chill at the notion of sequels). It beats The Matrix hands down in several ways. It also has spectacular graphics and great dialogue. I likes it. I recommend it. Go forth and enjoy.
