Finding Serenity
I saw the movie, Serenity today. Mostly because I wanted to see it in the movie theater before it went to DVD. It didn't blow me away, but I didn't expect it to. It had good dialogue and it had characters I liked and it had a decent story. Some of it is moving, some of it is--eh, could have been better, and some of it is fun. Inara, who I disliked quite a bit in the series, is considerably less annoying this time around and Nathan Fillion fits his character much better--in the series I kept trying to picture other people playing the part of Mal and whether they'd carry it better. Zoe and Jayne and Wash and Kaylee and River were their regular swell selves. Simon was his regular annoying but necessary self and Shepard Book didn't get much screen time. I may post something more spoileriffic about Serenity and the series and what I like about them later when I get the chance to think it through more.
