Title: Thoughts on Movie

WARNING CONTAINS SPOILERS!!
Good movie. River however could have ended it all if she would have just stepped up like she did in the end. Looks like she could control her powers. Here are the things I didn't like.
They kill off Shepherd Book. Uncalled for. Very Unnecessary. He wasn't even on Serenity anymore.
They kill off Wash. Uncalled for.
The Operative lived. (I think River could have taken out the Alliance without him calling them off.)
GRRR!! Capatain Mal and Inara should have just hooked up to get all that tension out of the way!! rotfl
Overall good movie.
/check//

actually it was called for, that is where the crew went for a safe haven, that was not their only safe haven either so the parliament destroyed all who were in alliance with Mal and his crew.

Not really, someone had to go, it was a surprising and cinematic way for him to die, didn't see it coming

the powers she possesses are not really something she can trigger on her own all the time, she is a girl, a cute one at that. But she was damaged and made into a living weapon. I think she stepped up as soon as she could, i mean they had to find Miranda first then go after the bad guy.

I still don't agree with Shepherd being killed. They never even explained how he knew so much about the Alliance, and since he knew so much I would have figured he would know what was coming.
Nah, killing Wash was just bad. Sure unexpected, but uncalled for imo.
I don't understand still what they did to River.
Serenity - February 27, 2009 05:07 AM (GMT)
You didn't get what Shepherd used to be? He was an assassin with the alliance. Like the operative was . . .
And River, they altered her mind so see feels all and can predict what people say, think, and will do. She basically could win an entire war single handed becasue she would know exactly what the enemies move would be. But it has the side effect of screwing the poor girl up for awhile too.
So did you like the tv series and movie or is not your type?
I loved it tbh and never really found as many issues with it like you have, I just fell in love with River the moment I saw that character really . . . it was an interesting character for Josh to create.
ralphalf - February 27, 2009 05:12 AM (GMT)
I love these kinds of movies and shows. Star Trek, Star Wars, Fifth Element, Aliens, that right up my alley :D.
However, I found a lot of unresolved issues in the movie. It really needed a season 2 badly. They just killed off main characters without more story to them. The movie was honestly just a closing for the fans on what happens with River but I didn't feel that the show was all about her. It was more about the Captain to me and how he lead the war against the Alliance once and is still trying to take them down. River was not the main character to me but she is an important one. She is now in the hands of Captain Mal and this should really tick off the Alliance. I would like to see where it goes from there.
Serenity - February 27, 2009 05:21 AM (GMT)
Everyone wants it go on but it ended :(
Even at the T:SCC wiki everyone still talks about Serenity and Firefly all the time lol
For me the movie was a HUGE resolution, my fav character was the star and while the parliament is still after them and there is much potential for more of the story I am glad we learned more about River =)
ralphalf - February 27, 2009 05:24 AM (GMT)
Yeah there is room for more story. I still don't see that the show is all about River. I think she's a major part but I see it more about Mal. He needs to get back at the Alliance and he could use River for it. But then again, that's how I see it.
Serenity - February 27, 2009 05:30 AM (GMT)
yep what could have been . . . .but it's over sadly :(
I'm just glad they got a movie, stuff like that doesn't happen to CANCELED shows lol
ralphalf - February 27, 2009 05:31 AM (GMT)
That for sure. I wonder if they will do a reunion. You know like they did with the Brady Bunch.
Serenity - February 27, 2009 05:36 AM (GMT)
I doubt it, all have moved on to other projects and stuff, the DVD I have of Serenity is their 2005 revisited version =)
so they already revisited =)
ralphalf - February 27, 2009 05:38 AM (GMT)
Serenity - February 27, 2009 05:41 AM (GMT)
yeah mine has the extra commentary and they are all like, yeah it's been awhile let's try and remember it all again" lol
ralphalf - February 27, 2009 05:44 AM (GMT)
Yeah it's always cool to hear the back stories.
Serenity - February 27, 2009 05:46 AM (GMT)
I like extras in movies, i watch it all b/c if i really like a movie i gotta see as much as i can
they even have a 10 min special video exclusive to the dvd of an interrogation of River!
It's really sad how they seduce the innocent girl into a weapon :(

| Seduce? |
um YEAH
they put her in a "program" and slowly tricked her into thinking it was something else, then eventually they downright raped her (her mind) and basically violated poor River into an object for war and not a human anymore . . .
let me See if the vid is on Summer Glau.net, I bet it is. . . it's worth a watch if i find it =)
ralphalf - February 27, 2009 05:56 AM (GMT)
:o
Raped her mind!?
EESSH...Now that's some crazy scene they deleted.

Ah I see. Child Abuse at its worst. When they slowly make an innocent kid crazy and call it science so that can make things better for their greedy ways.
Yeah I see now. It's good to see how her character changed gradually. She should've wiped the floor with all those scientists.

My job is complete B)-

ralphalf - February 27, 2009 06:19 AM (GMT)
She's still a brat!! laugh1
She's a little sister....so she's a brat!!!
That's just how it is with all younger siblings!! You gotta love your younger bratty siblings.
Serenity - February 27, 2009 06:22 AM (GMT)
I never called my sister a brat b4 tbh . . .annoying sometimes but never a brat . . . . so not all of us lol
ralphalf - February 27, 2009 06:25 AM (GMT)

Waaagggghhhh!!
LOL
Ok you win, not all are brats. Just River.
Serenity - February 27, 2009 06:26 AM (GMT)

ralphalf - February 27, 2009 06:29 AM (GMT)

/winner// /winner//
Serenity - February 27, 2009 10:49 AM (GMT)

ralphalf - February 27, 2009 02:47 PM (GMT)

Serenity - February 27, 2009 08:25 PM (GMT)

yeah the bloopers are great, got them on the dvd, funny stuff laugh2
ralphalf - February 28, 2009 06:23 AM (GMT)
Captain Mal was hilarious. He had the most erros. Summer only had that one!! She's sooo pro.
Serenity - February 28, 2009 06:30 AM (GMT)
yeah that is what makes Mal Mal lol
ralphalf - February 28, 2009 07:59 AM (GMT)
Inara is breathtaking wouldn't you say? My kinda woman LOL.
Whore Academy, that is so twisted I tell ya.
Serenity - February 28, 2009 08:00 AM (GMT)
ha lol, i never really paid much attention to Inara tbh, I was watching River and Kaylee mostly, they were cool
ralphalf - February 28, 2009 08:05 AM (GMT)
LOL don't ignore her :P
She did so well as a character. She did great in the sword fighting episode, the episode where they steal the gun from Yolanda or whatever her name is, the lesbian scene with the senator, the scene where she blows up the bounty hunter with that stuff that wasn't incense. Very well played character.
Serenity - February 28, 2009 08:07 AM (GMT)
not saying I ignored her, I just find characters like River to be more my type, helpless and hurting and needs comfort. I always get happy when the character is fulfilled in the end and no longer hurts from all the pain . . . the movie did that for me =)
ralphalf - February 28, 2009 08:09 AM (GMT)
Yeah, they are good. I like Kaylee's niceness. She seemed like the kinda girl you can talk to so easily. I remember her from the Disney Channel show Flash Forward. I never saw her again until this show. I remember posting something about that in one of the earlier Firefly posts, when you introduced it to the forum.
Serenity - March 6, 2009 11:40 PM (GMT)
I didn't know the girl who played Kaylee was from Disney channel, interesting lol
