Well, I can say that I am so glad that it is finally on DVD. Today was awesome, cuz I finished my last exam, went to Future Shop, came home, and watched Serenity two times in a row.
It was still a very good movie, but I have a few complaints.
1. There's French on the Canadian version
. I mean, really, come on. More people speak only Chinese in Canada, than only French. Especially here in the prairies, not very many people speak only French. If you can read English in a country where 99% of the people speak or read it, leave the second language off of it. Only one person out of my graduating class of 300 actually speaks French, and not many of us have strong feelings of fluffy love towards the French, or Quebecers in general (they are trying to split our country apart
, by the way).
2. I think the clarity of the colour is too dark compared to theatres. I'm not sure if it's just me, so if any of you out there have the same problems, chime in.
3. A lot of Morena Baccarin's scenes were cut out. I know it was like this in theatres, but I saw it twice before I got the DVD, so I didn't know how much of a crucial part she had. Watching her cut scenes makes me wonder why they were cut. She's a very good actress, and those scenes would have put depth to her role for those who hadn't seen the show.
4. Not enough Special Features. I know there's a lot, but I wish there were more 
.
So, what are YOUR impressions of the DVD???

I woke up this morning expecting to find a package waiting for me from amazon, but there was none. I checked the website and they've pushed the delivery date back to March! WTF!
Sorry for hijacking your thread, I'll be buying it in a shop tomorrow, and then I'll give my impression of the dvd.

well, there were a couple of spots where the sound seemed to go softer than it sound of been. May have been the player or the TV, I'm try it on some other equip., before I can say for sure.
I got mine as part of the package that Wal-Mart had. They were out of Widescreen, except for the bundle with the Hulk. I made the guy take it out so I just bought Serenity, But When I opened the DVD case, there was just the DVD. Nothing else. It's been a while since I bought a DVD, did they stop putting the Chapter guide pages inside? Anyone else get nothing but the disc? Should I just go get another widescreen elsewhere?

I bought it today, but not for myself. As Christmas gifts for 2 soon-to-be-very-pleased relatives.
My main complaint thus far is that there just aren't enough of them. I went to Blockbuster (for something else entirely) and noticed that they only had five copies for rental. Just five! Must Love f*ing Dogs had about 100. Why no love for Serenity? Though, every single Serenity was checked out, so hopefully that's a good sign.

i went to walmart last night at midnight. we waited and waited for them to bring out the dvds. while waiting i talked to the store manager (who was in plain cloths and was off work) he was also waiting for serenity. after about 10 min of waiting for the dvds, he got on the cb and hollored to the stock boys. well after the dvds were rolled out he and i opened it. we picked out the widescreen version. after a few minutes i asked him if i could have the display. he gave me the top portion(i will post a pic later). i was so excited!!! there was not a lot of browncoats there waiting for the dvd other than me and the manager. ( at least they didnt show themselves) anyway. i didnt like how universal put the Battlestar flyer in the dvd case and not put in a cool serenity or firefly insert??? (i know firefly is fox, but there is a dvd doc on the canceled firefly series)
i stayed up and watched the extra features. it was too late to watch the whole movie. but since i own my own business i watched the movie and the Joss commentary while waiting on customers.
I just figured i would share that with you fellow browncoats.
now if anybody knows please post, how long will it take before the DVD sales are a bust or a success????

Does anyone know why the security sticker across the top says "Serenity (Unrated)" on it? I didn't notice anything being added and the rating screen before the movie starts says "PG-13".
Possibly a mistake or did they only print stickers for a soon to be released Director's Cut?

I thought the color on the DVD looked fine as well as the sound..I am also a big fan of Morena but I thought that she was off her game a little in most of her deleted scenes...Escpecially the scene with the other woman at the companion training school(just some bad acting) Like I said I am a fan of her acting she just missed the mark in those deleted scenes...Overall I was impressed with DVD,extras an all..
The answer to the question about the inserts in the DVD is no..No they dont put inserts in more then 50% of DVD's now a days...I dont like it but thats the way it is...

My dvd is also way to dark. I bought my copy at future shop too. Maybe future shop got a bad batch?

Video and audio are pretty much flawless, as near as I can tell -- extras are adequate, would've wished more (still working on viewing 'em all). Why didn't we get the same expanded extras the Aussies got, dang it? Should we expect a double-dip?
My only complaint has been discussed elsewhere -- the abominable cover art. I'm waiting for someone with a talent for design to step up and do a print-yer-own version in the Blue Sun room. Any takers?
