My Completely UnBias Review

 I know that we as reviewer should have an unbiased opinion of what we see.  This all being said I had a hard time learning how to do that.  Serenity was the first big lesson I had in order to force myself to learn how to do this.  Then again I gave it two different rating and I still stand by them.

Serenity  

Okay the movie that I have been going on in my blogs about for a very very very very very very long time came out and I just got home from seeing it.  Serenity.  I am about to give as unbias review as I can, but keep in mind I loved the show, Firefly, so this is going to be tough. 

The movie starts six months after the last episode of Firefly, and you can quickly pick up that it is still the same story.  In the movie Captain Malcom Reynolds...huuuum wonder were I got that name for myspace...is leading his band of smuglers and outlaws through space.  What he soon realizes is that the sister of the ships docter is more than she seems, aside from the fact that she is a little crazy and a psychic.  She is a living weapon.  Now Mal and his crew must try and both protect River, the docs sister, from the Alliance and the canabalistic Reavers.  "This should be interesting" "Interesting how" "My god my god we're all going too die"

The writing and directing in this movie is perfect and pure Joss Weadon.  He directed the TV show and the shows of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel.  You can tell it is his style right off.  The characters are numersous in personalities and all have the humor that is known with Weadon's style.  The plot to the film is excellent and the direction shows that.  Just how he does the angles, shots, perspectives and fell prove that. 

The acting is espcially great.  These were all TV acters and they got their shot on the big screen because their show was canceled.  The acter who plays Mal is espcially good, and Jayne, another character, adds some of the most humerous lines in the movie.  Because I loved the TV show the one major problem I found was that some of my favorite characters had to take the side seat and were not used as much as I wish they were.  I also thought that the movie made more sence to me since I saw the show on DVD, however, I believe that a Firefly virgin could walk in and still enjoy the film. 

This film is almost completely perfect in my view.  The characters are well acted and brought out, the directing shows that Fox is slamming there heads on the table not hiring Weadon to do X-Men 3, and the writing adds a great flavor to the fire of coolness this movie has working off of it.  For the first time ever I am going to give a movie to ratings on my four star skale.  For the Firefly virgin I give Serentiy *** out ****.  For the faithful of the series who watched and loved the series whether during its original run, DVD, or it's rebirth on SciFi channel I give it **** out of ****.  This is an awsome picture.  Go see it NOW.  why are your reading the rest of this go NOW.  I SAID GO!  It is worth paying the full price and then some.  Don't believe me.  I might be going to see it again in a week.
