Serenity
Serenity Review
The reviewer, who sent his review into AICN,
does admit that Serenity is good, but fears that the film is aimed
too much at the fans of Firefly. Among his complaints are death
scenes that we don't care about and lead characters that we shouldn't care
about. Considering that I never watched Firefly, though maybe I
will now, what does this mean to me? Here is a snippet from the Serenity
review:
I think, in the end that is the sad truth of the film--it is not fun. And we wanted it to be fun--to be a celebration of continuing on, even in the face of cancellation. It would have been nice if it was a smart, complicated lark--that’s how you start a franchise, letting them get darker as the series progresses. You build your relationships, so you can pull the rug out from under your audience, sweetening the emotional resonance. The sad thing is, as close to great as this movie is, there isn’t time or money for improvements. The movie, outside of the music score, is finished.
To be honest, this review can be slightly confusing.
The guy will use one paragraph to bash it and another to say how good it
is. I guess the major disappointment comes from the fact that Serenity
looks sequel-less. To check out the whole review, head over to AICN.
