Variety magazine on the Serenity movie

I saw the movie during the last series of previews on June 23rd. I’m a big fan of the television show, so it’s hard for me to judge how someone coming to the movie “fresh” would perceive it. However, if you’re a fan of the television series, I think you will be pleased by the movie. It’s got action, humor, heart, and romance. I will definitely be there again on opening day.

As for Variety’s criticisms:

1. I’m not sure what “space oddity” means. Yes, no, what of it? Isn’t Hollywood criticized for being too formulaic?

2. The special effects aren’t as good as Star Wars, that’s true. However, they were effective. And yes, it did seem less like a movie than extended episode. But I was still engrossed throughout, something that even the most polished movies often fail to achieve.

3. I don’t know enough about the film business to know how much marketing the film needs. However, I think delaying the release until September was a good move, as it allowed more people like me to discover the series on DVD. The preleases also helped to generate a lot of buzz. Each time one happened, it was front page on Slashdot.

4. This is true. I’m not sure however, that they provided enough background to help those who haven’t seen the series to care sufficiently about the characters.

5. The film is dark, but then, so was Blade Runner. It didn’t detract that much from the experience for me. The film score was adequate though not particularly memorable.

I have other beefs, which I can’t reveal without spoiling. But my beefs, such as they are, detract only minimally from my enjoyment of the film. I loved it, and highly recommend that you see it.

I saw the movie during the preview screenings, and liked it.

1. Yes, it is a space oddity. So was Firefly, and it’s worth remembering that that did not succeed on initial release; Serenity may not succeed in theaters. The hope this time for good box office (it will do quite well on DVD) rests on the fact that Serenity has an ready fanbase, and Firefly did not when aired.

2. I can’t say whether it feels like a TV production or not. It does feel much more like Firefly than your typical summer blockbuster, but that is as I would have it. Perhaps they mean that it feels less perfectly self-contained than most movies?

3. I’m not in the business, but I do have hopes that word of mouth will make the movie.

4. The cast does have good chemistry, etc. I have no idea what they’re talking about with the premises seeming less than fresh – the usual criticism of Firefly (made in #1 of your list) is that the premises are too fresh for plausibility.

5. I can’t speak to criticisms of the score, as they had a placeholder score for all the previews. The palette used was quite dark, giving a gritty feel to most of the movie; some color balancing will have occurred since, but my understanding is that the process would have smoothed the look but not altered the basic palette.

Zelnox, the visual SFX were quite good – no fears on that score.

Bottom line: it is an excellent movie if you’ve seen the series and know the characters; I certainly intend to see it a further time or two in theaters. If you haven’t seen the series, it won’t be as good. I think it should still be good enough to pack the theaters, but we’ll find out soon enough.

I’m not particularly excited about Serenity, though it should be a concept aimed directly at me. I think the plotting of the series is very reminiscent of Star Trek (all series) – linear, wooden characters, each episode wraps up neatly – rather than Babylon 5. Deadwood is far more incisive about the human condition in a lawless setting; Battlestar Galactica is a moving, well-written space opera far in advance of Firefly.
