I just saw a film that I've been looking forward to for some time. It was Serenity the spin-off film from Joss Wedons sadly cancelled Firefly series. It was worth the wait.
I guess a film that's a spin-off from a TV series that nobody watched might not be box-office gold. The set up to the movie sets the story up in a way that non-fanboy geeks should be able to follow. The effects are good and there is shit-loads of action.
It's dramatic too, with unexpected plots twists, emotional moments and QUESTIONS ANSWERED. Not your x-files movie pish.
So all in all 'five by five'. Kicks ass. Check it out and pray for a follow up or a spin off tv-series. Be warned though, it is more scary and violent than the TV show. Josh is enjoying freedom from TV censors and packing the blood in. My sensitive cousin was shocked.
Check it out!!!
And bring back futurama too!!!!
Now, even more geeky. Comics. I just read the first 'Strangehaven' book by Gary Spencer Millidge. It's cool in a prisinor rip-off way. Black and white and masonic. I'm gonna read more.
That's it for now.

I agree. as a non-fanboy-geek I thought this was a superb film, and makes me want to go get the firefly dvds just like whedon dreamed it would.
what (pleasantly) surprised me most about the film was the humour - subtle, clever and witty. I'd give it 5 stars too.
