I went to Batman begins yesterday, felt it was a good movie well acted ( except Katie Holmes, but don't really like her )

The Serenity trailer was on in the previews and I am a little concerned it lacks...... something

I had the same feeling watching it online, but hoped it would play out different on the big screen. Toward the end of the trailer I watched the crowd and the impression I had was it caught their eye, but didn't really hook them.

I think the first trailer works well with Firefly fans, but to draw an additional following something that gives a better overview of the verse would be it order to draw new fans.

Something to the order of a fan made trailer I seen on this site a while back...

Just my opinion

Agree completely. After the Serenity trailer (during which the crowd was fairly lifeless), there was a trailer for Sky High (I think that's what it's called). The crowd became totally animated, laughing and cheering.

Yeah, I saw Batman Begins tonight and the Serenity trailer was shown(AMC Southdale, for all you MN Browncoats). Dead silence during the trailer. What annoyed me was the fact that the trailer itself was so quiet. I mean... my crappy computer speakers sounded better at home than the theater did.

And the guy I was with - who knows that he'd be dead to me if he said anything bad about Firefly, and who sat through all the DVDs - said the trailer wasn't really very good.

Seems to me, there was no "hook" for the uninitiated. Kinda disheartening, but boy did it look pretty on the big screen.

Yep, I was the only one who clapped and hollered for it. My husband was appalled. At me, not the trailer.

Seemed like there were more images in the on-line version. Anybody else think something had been deleted?


So very shiny to see our ship on that big screen..."I aim to misbehave."

The crowd I was with recieved it fairly well people laughed and such in the right places. Only other trailers they reacted to were Dukes and WOTW.

I was a little surprised by the reaction when I saw the trailer with Batman Begins Friday. I'm in West Virginia, so of course the Dukes of Hazzard (blech) got hollering. But there was a moderate response to Serenity. There was ooing about River and definite laughter with Wash.

But it seemed like the quotes in the middle kind of put people off. They were all excited, and then, black screen and text. I hope that there is another trailer that is all action.

We saw the new trailer for Fantastic Four with batman Begins as well. more of the intrigue and conflict was shown and I am more tempted to see it now. Let there be trailer 2 for Serenity that is just as intriguing....

i've got to say, i saw the Serenity trailer before Batman Begins(and i'd watched online a few times) and i was intranced by it, a friend of mine who likes firefly (but not loves it) was with me and he said that as soon as ir came on, my attention was so focused on it, that he threw a jelly bean at me. I however did not feel it.


that also means i have no idea what the crowd thought. but then again i don't care what the crowd thought. it's my favorite movie of all time, and i haven't even seen it yet.
