The next big cult film

It also seems to be difficult to come by good puffy jackets in size XL around here. Just an observation.

I totally thought that movie was straight to DVD release because my theatre where we work was scheduled to get it and never did so, meh? I kind of want to see it but not really.

whats it about? i think i have it but im not sure, i dont want to search my library im to lazy.

I thought the previews looked really bad, but i'm no film aficionado.

There was always a big Firefly fan base...maybe this explains it.

Serenity is the conclusion to the cancled TV series Firefly for those of you who didn't know.

coolio

Probably why the trailer made no fucking sense.

was it about that chick they were transporting who was like a super ninja and shit and they had a giant battle ship?

hey i have that, its pretty good but not reallt a cult film, another super good movie is THE ISLAND.. i just saw it last night and its Ill.,

king kong. once again

BBC film/movie of the year. Says it all.

The Island was pretty good.. I thought Serenity was pretty bad... maybe if i had seen firefly it would have been more interesting.

The Island is definately NOT GOOD by all means, it's just a summer movie. Evan and Scarlett (HOTT) are so much better actors than that rubbish movie would show. But it was decent for a summer movie.

i thought it did well in theaters... the dvd tv series itself already had a cult following to begin with.

Pretty much... the thing is that cancelled TV shows just do not get to be made into movies unless there's something different about them. This thing has already had a huge cult following mostly owing to the DVDs... go on Amazon.com and check the reviews. For pretty much any TV show you'll find, there won't be more than a couple hundred reviews, IF that. For firefly, there are over a thousand. But that's not why the movie was so good... it's just that

a) The actors and the people who made the thing LOVED the characters, the world, etc.
b) 15 episodes was enough that they KNEW their characters really friggin' well
c) Whedon doesn't compromise with writing, sometimes he overwrites, but so much of the dialogue is unexpected that it can't be boring
d) They have one of the best, if not the best villain I've seen in modern movies (I measure modern as post-Blade Runner). He's a culture hero. It's like greek tragedy all over again. In space. With western influences. Sick?
e) The guy who did "unforgiven" was director of photography... you think the lighting might kick ass? Oh, I do. Practically no one noticed I'm sure, but there were points where cinematography was almost TOO good despite the lack of anything vaguely resembling a "budget".

I could probably reel off even more reasons. I just hope they make another one.

BBC Film 2005 review of Serenity for anyone who's interested: http://www.bbc.co.uk/films/2005/09/26/serenity_2005_review.shtml

hm, i'm sorry to say that i didn't appreciate serenity that much. my dad has watched firefly, and he loved it, and think i may have enjoyed it more if i had the background of watching the show. as it was, i thought the plot was a little lacking and that they should have given more background information. but it was by no means a bad movie.

I agree that Serenity is going to be the next big cult film, probably with a series. The firefly fans are some of the most proactive fans out there, it's absolutely insane. It already has a cult following and I think with the movie coming out, more people are going to be exposed to it
