Late to the party, but I had the opportunity to see the second round of screenings back in May. Buddy and I drove out to Vegas after work on a thursday, caught the movie around 10pm, drove back, at work the next morning.
Worth. Every. Minute of endless desert, bumper to bumper traffic and endless black desert on the round trip. Worth slogging through the next day of work. Worth it all.
Movie was a 90 minute seminar on how to shoot a film on the cheap and get every penny on the screen, how to establish 9 (NINE!) characters as seperate and distinct personalities onscreen and give them each something to do (some more than others), AND establish a novel and interesting adversary AND establish a unique scifi universe.
That said, Serenity and Firefly are very different animals. Loved them both for different reason.
Anybody seen that there's a Firefly universe fan-film in production? Dunno if that's a pop-culture achievement or something more cring-worthy...
