It was awesome!

Serenity was really a fun movie. Even the CAG was impressed. I would give it 4 1/2 out of 5 Stars, due to a weak initial chase scene (cheesy) and the first song in the movie was way to loud and fast for the rest of the soundtrack. Lots of Mummy/Indiana Jones-type ironic humor, and they did a great job of not showing you much of the Reapers(Thanks Mike!) Reivers, making them more menacing with the mystery. I may even pay to see it again.

   Reivers, not Reapers!

   (Hey ya, Mike!)
   Glad to hear you had a good time! The commercials look fun, but I think I’m so scarred by the Starship Trooper experience that I may have a hard time going. Is this a goofy thing, what? (Never saw the ?SciFi? series)

   Light years (heh) beyond Starship Troopers, Sis. Not near as goofy, and the characters are people you can like. Heck, Animal Mother is in it shooting people and things!
   And sorry Mike, I was not sure what their exact name was, as I only heard of the series/movie when I found out I was able to go, and I have seen a few different spellings. That combined with the sound at the screening having an issue or two at times. But I do believe I will buy the series DVD now after seeing this.

   Thanks for the review. Look forward to watching it.
   What’s wrong with Starship Troopers?

   The goofiness of Starship Troopers is what gets many. I actually like it, but Serenity is waaaaaaayyyyyy better.

   I liked the book “Starship Troopers” but I never saw the movie.

   I loved the book also.
   I thought the movie was a good parody of propaganda. It’s very fun if you don’t take it seriously.

    I had to disconnect my sense of outrage on “Starship Troopers”, ‘cuz it wasn’t even close to the book. But as a kill-the-bugs blastathon, the movie wasn’t bad, maybe a B-.
    But what’s wrong with an armed chick?

    But I’ll have to wait and see Serenity….maybe on DVD. 🙁

    …armed chick?
    Considering the chick, it’s amazing the barrel’s not pointing the other way.
    Brain bug. Pffft.
