I have never left a movie feeling so physically and emotionally affected before. Granted, I have never had so much personally invested in a movie before either, but still.
Even though Serenity demands to be seen again, I, for one, was not ready to see it again right away. It took me a while to process it all. I think the first weekend might need to depend more on Universal's promotion (as opposed to our own repeated viewings) than alot of Browncoats think. Browncoats who haven't had the opportunity to experience Serenity in advance may underestimate the power this movie can hold over them. Second weekend, though, that's all ours.
Needless to say, I, too, am having difficulty relating this movie to any others I've liked. It's just...more.
These are my thoughts exactly.
I can't compare it, because to me Serenity isn't a movie. It's the only movie I've ever seen that's managed to become more a part of me than a piece of entertainment, and that was true the instant the final scene ended.
If you don't have the emotional investment, if it is just a movie to you, I honestly don't know how it would rate compared to other things. I think Blade Runner is more artistically interesting, probably, Star Wars is more epic, probably, and I don't know there might be plot holes or something, but for me having seen the show the movie was a fulfillment and a journey and something much more than just a film. Which I suppose makes it my favorite film of all time, but probably not in the sense you're asking, Chrisisall.

Blade runner a POS? Have u taken leave of your gorram senses. Blade runner is a sci-fi classic, like Lensman or Ringworld.
What I really wanna know is how serenity compares to one of the greatest films of all time, I am of course speakin of Roger corman's epic film "rock n roll highschool"
