I went to London this week-end. The Browncoat within wants to say that the sole purpose of my journey was to see Serenity 2 months before its premiere in Norway, but I must admit I had other business in the area.
Anyway, as I gleely jollied my way inside the huge London theatre with 3 of my friends ( 1 fellow brown coat, 1 sci-fi-fanatic and a mundane NP) (Normal Person®)), my hands were shaking with anticipation.
The film delivered! The reviewers were right. You were all right! The movie is damn good! The writing, the characterisation, the music, plot and exposition. It was all remarkably well done. (And all my friends agreed! This is a movie that appeals to all! Granted we were all male, so there is one huge demographic stone left unturned. Griselda, want to take a crack at it?
Most of all, I think the writing was one of my favourite parts of the movie. For a gritty sci-fi-flick there was a surprisingly high frequency of moments where the crowd laughed loudly, present company included. :) I have to say I was a bit concerned with 1 line that seemed awfully stupid ("I am a leaf on the wind, watch me soar.") but thankfully, Joss undercut it with tremendous humour (as is often his way) :lol:
The movie was unpredictable, interesting, engrossing and entertaining. I can't wait to see it again! (Won't be for a while though, the numerous trips to London's many pubs tanked my bank account rather efficiently..)
