Over four years since Serenity came out, has time changed your opinion of it at all?

Has it grown on you? Have you come to dislike it? Is your opinion of it the same as day 1?

Personally, with the advent of time, careful consideration, and 20/20 hindsight....

It solidly remains my absolute favourite film of all time.
Mal makes Han look like a cardboard cut-out.
No Trek film ever had cooler space battles.
It's more resonant to me than Blade Runner.

Spielberg, be ashamed you never made a better film than this "TV" guy Whedon.

Thoughts?

I'm probably not as crazy about it as I originally was. I'm in the group that prefers the series over the movie anyway. But I certainly don't dislike it.

It's still far superior to alot of the crap hollywood spews out. I think Serenity is actually in my list of the last 10 movies I've seen in theaters. So that should say something.



"Haha, mine is an evil laugh."

Yer makin' me cry here.
Loss & redemption- what's a more important or powerful theme than that?

Name two movies that make you laugh or cry more than when Mal says "What was that?" at the end.

-or is it just me?

I too prefer the series. I can only watch the Movie once a year without wanting to fast forward bits. I can watch the series anytime, any episode, and I still love it. I do love how the movie draws newbies into the fold though. A number of my friends begged to borrow the series after seeing Serenity and now they are die hard devotees of Firelfy.

I like Serenity more than ever. I did'nt like it the first time I saw it, but after watching the extras, and seeing it for a second time, it will be one of my favorites for all time. Once I understood that a lot had occurred between the series and the movie, it all became clear to me.

My opinion of the series has only improved, given the declining quality of the drivel on TV to compare it to - one reason I took up other media in hopes of something worth watching.

The movie, not so much, but like the rest of us, I'll take what I can get.

The comics, errm.. uhh.. I'll say nuttin.

I was thinkin about it, yanno much as I loved Firefly, one series hook would be coming around to a hundred years later on some OTHER down on his luck schlep finding Serenity in a junkyard and go from there, with occasional shout-backs to the original crew, like the question of who the hell felt the need to decorate the kitchen, etc.

Joss could even tie the stories of what mighta happened to the original cast in with the existing tale if he uses a subtle hand with that.

Speakin of other media, the personal interactions aspect that made Firefly what it is, I just recently saw an Anime that comes pretty close to that kinda thing.
