Mayhap your right there, but i have to say looking at the R1 cover again - i really don't like it. As you say "in ur face" , and in ur face fans! What's with the gratutious massive river boobs and general business - not a fan of that at all, think it looks a bit rubbish, like someone had a crazy old time on Adobe Photoshop cutting and merging images willy-nilly.
At the end of the day i'm still gonna buy it, but will it attract non-FF/Serenity purchasers? Glad they got a review quote on there - that should help.
But hey - what do i know!

My fellow optimists, rejoice, and don't let the pessimists get yas down!
When I looked at the site I read the messages posted below it too. Did you see the second one down?
It said "I am sorry to say I've never watched the show or caught the movie - in spite of being a huge Joss Whedon fan (Buffy is one of my all time favorite shows) so I'll be checking this out, along with the series!"
It's great that this Buffy fan is finally going to check out the dvd but it makes you wonder how they were missed out in the marketing in the first place.

Hmmm.....
Not a bad DVD cover, but is it just me or is it a bit much? I understand why they did it, they are trying to sell it as an action movie, hence tagline on the cover "Experience the ultimate action adventure", but it just seems a bit much to me.
Don't get me wrong, I love the fact we are getting the DVD so soon, but I think it may push the "action" portion a bit too much. Of course if it gets people to watch, all the better.
What the heck kind of gun is Mal holding on the cover? It sure isn't his pistol nor do I remember him using one that looks like it. The slide & ejection port look like a modified 1911 Colt .45.

I don't know about everyone else, but I'm loving that cover art. I'd like to think that all those people shaking their fists in the background are us Browncoats.
Aw, Hell. I know they are.

Actually, now that I think about it, shouldn't Serenity itself be featured more prominently on the cover? I mean, it IS the ship of the BDM's namesake.
Just a thought.

so is this just an american release date or will it be here in the uk on the same date?

Hopefully the real "street" price will be like normal DVDs ($15-$18). As much as I love Firefly, I might not even buy a first release DVD of Serenity at $30!
The material on R1 sounds good so I'm looking forward to it. But I do hope they make an "extended / alternate" version of Serenity. There are a lot of us that were disappointed with the version that was released in the theaters.

I think they should add before the movie Joss' story - like in the special screenings. Kinda-of like Pixar does with their releases of those Japanese movies.

Woo Hoo!!! Just went to Amazon and pre-ordered 5. That's some of my Christmas shopping taken care of (even though I won't have them in hand before Christmas...I picked the "ship 'em cheap" option)!

OH MY GOD!!
What did I tell you about Universal?
That artwork is so cheeeeeeeeesssssyyyy!!
And the tag line denotes that before Joss
ever signed the contract to do this movie
there was a clear understanding that the
drama integrity contained in FIREFLY was
DOA!!!
"River" has been digitised to look more like
Angelina Jolie than Summer!
