Are you ready for "Serenity"?

[Occhidiangela]

It was odd for me watching T3.  I kept saying "I'm sure the good part is coming any time now."  Had a chuckle during the whole 'huge truck with crane smashing through everything' because it was so over-the-top gratuitous, and laughed some when the psychiatrist from T1/T2 had his short bit seeing Ahnult again in T3 and freaking out.

But that was about it.  That's all I remember from the flick.  Just lots of violence with nothing interesting.

I just looked it up on RottenTomatoes and noted that it got a favorable rating, which surprised me.  Then I found Roger Ebert's review of T3 which pointed out, in much better terms, what I was thinking watching T3 and wishing they never bothered making it:
No one can call T2 a "cerebral" movie, but much like "The Matrix" it wasn't just "here's some action with cool futuristic thingies, isn't that swell?"  That's all T3 wound up being and it made it such a disappointment.  I hate it when people call movies like that "SciFi."  The "Science" is just another method to cause explosions.

Just got back from seeing Serenity.

Good stuff. I loved the way the dialogue was done. Spec effects were not emphasized, character and such plot as any Space Opera has was emphasized.

No spoilers. Worth a look, heck, I recommend it.
