Can't wait! DOPE! I thought the movie was so well done and finally added some closure to a series which was cancelled way too quickly.

Excellent, excellent movie. It's a shame it underperformed at the box office, it's a real gem of a flick. Hopefully if the DVD gets strong sales and rental receipts, Universal will greenlight a sequel...

I thought the film worked well enough as a standalone.  Obviously you're going to get more out of it if you're a Firefly fan, but it did a nice enough job of establishing its main characters (Mal and River), its villain (The Operative), and a pretty standalone plot that doesn't rely too heavily on established canon.

SERENITY (2005) I loved SERENITY. It was so entertaining and one of the best sci-fi films of the year. I cant wait to pick this up for x-mas!

Really liked Serenity but two things still bug me about the movie:

1) Spoiler here folks...Spoiler Why is it that Joss Whedon's main weapon in trying to create some drama is killing characters either unnecessarily or for shock value, something he did frequently in Buffy and Angel as well? The first major death I was fine with and it actually was integral to the plot, but the second major death in the film had no meaning and was there for shock value and a few tugs of the heart strings alone.
2. Couldn't Whedon have come up with something we hadn't seen before with the Reavers? I had bad flashbacks of seeing John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars and nearly walked out like I did with that movie, then I remembered I was watching a different, good flick and sat back down.

Can't win'em all I guess, but I'll definitely be adding this disc to the big shelf right next to the series when it gets released.

i'm glad its coming out so soon, wish it would been a much bigger hit but as i said months before it came, as long as it was a good movie who cares how much or little money it made...and i loved it so in the end it doesnt matter much....if sequels do come then bring it on but if not, this was a nice way to end things, an actual finale...

i'm glad there's a Joss commentary, i'm not a commentary person at all but one day i decided to listen to Joss's for the first Buffy episode and he was great and funny and so i ended up listening to all the Buffy and Angel ones and eventually listend to all my tv shows on dvds but i've never listened to a movie commentary, so this will be my first one..lol

anyway i sorta wish there were more special features, but maybe if this sells well they will double dip, as evil as that is i'd be more than willing to buy this one twice..lol

can't wait to see what the cover art is, the movie poster or something new?

OK, so who here thinks Universal was downright retarded for releasing this in October and Land of the Dead in June. If they would've switch the two they might've have a damn chance at the box office, instead, two fine films were detroyed at the box office.

On that note, how many non-film geeks do you know that are even aware that a King Kong remake is coming out in a little over a month. When I'm rich and famous remind me to stay far away from Universal.

Just wait, Gabe...the blitz will begin right after all of the Harry Potter build up winds down with Burger King, Nestle, Kellogg, Volkswagen, Toshiba, and New York City all promoting the film. I'm sure a lot of folks have seen the Volkswagen commercial already, and this weekend I noticed Kong gracing the front of the box of Corn Flakes that I picked up at the grocery.

This movie kicks the "Star Wars" prequels in the pants.

Ace, all the way through.

It was ok, but nothing special.

I thought this was the best film of the year.  Too bad the cover art is kinda lame.

Cover art is gross, and I wish Nathan Fillion and possibly some of the producers were on the audio commentary.

Well worth seeing in the theater; very entertaining and visually gratifying.

DVD art looks pretty sucky though.

MUST BUY!!! I'll take the day off work to get this DVD.

art :S That's some fugly-ass cover art
