I just went yesterday for my 10th viewing!! Love this movie...love even more every time I see it!

I have not done this since Star Wars (before it was called Episode 4 "A New Hope"). Saw that about 13 times in the theaters. Here's hoping I can beat that record. It's a little harder now that I'm a full adult with adultlike responsibilities - #!!# job - oh well got to have a way to pay to see my movie somehow. And all those Serenity DVDs I've ordered for the holidays for friends and families. OK - it's definately worth the trade-off.

We do have Serenity at the discount theatre here in Missouri. I went to the late showing on Friday night and the ~200 seat theatre was 95% FULL!!! Everyone loved it. So the signal is not stopped yet. I have seen serenity a few times now, and it still holds up as an excellent movie. I can't wait to own it.

Love it Love it Love it (except for the cheese tombstones).

Okay, I'd just like to announce this.

"Serenity" is the first and only movie I've ever gone to the theatres to see more than once.

First and only.

That's saying a lot. I almost never go to the movie theatre. I go maybe a handful of times a year. Not only that, but I was willing to travel 40 minutes just to see it for that second time.

Thank you, Joss Whedon.

psychoticbride, I know what you mean. I've been to see it 5 times. I have never done that before. I saw X-men in the cinema twice and thats as enthusiastic as I've been about cinema visits before now. And it was a half hour train journey to the cinema. A film has to be pretty special to get me this enthused. well done Serenity!

Bumping the happy thread with another story from Ripley's Believe it or Don't

I forgot my smuggled-in chocolate in my pocket the first 3 times I saw this movie. 3 times! I do not forget chocolate, ok. By the 6th time I saw the movie I actually remembered it right when the scene shifted to Serenity. 9 minutes in.

Bwah ha ha! Love this chocolate surpassing movie!

Thanks to viral marketing...SERENITY: reopening soon in a theater near you.

I am so ashamed. The first time I saw Serenity, I posted my general impressions which were kind of 50:50 positive:negative. I was trying to judge the film from the viewpoint of those new to FF, and that stopped me from getting sucked in to what was actually happening on screen.

Saw it again yesterday, and ... I take it all back. It's brilliant. I want more. There's so much subtlety that I just completely missed, and the pain was needed to complete the journey. Nathan and Summer ... just wow.

The cinematography, again, subtle. I just read a NZ review that condemned the look as drab, but we're just so used to the oversaturated look of most films. The FF/Serenity look creates a unique kind of beauty, which sneaks up on you, until suddenly you're catching your breath as a particular shot just blows you away.

No, Chrisisall, we're definitely not through gushing.

There was a moment near the end- you know which one I mean, I think- where I felt like I was in a nightmare, and that ALL our BDH's were toast, and I almost wanted to grab my wife and run OUT OF THE THEATRE!!! Whew, glad I didn't.
