Movie #1984 "Serenity" (cable station on t.v.) ironic that this sci fi film is # 1984 on my list of films that I have blogged --- Anyway, this is the film that followed the very popular "Firefly" Josh Whedon series with, as I understand, the same cast, director, etc. More ironies --- we were told over and over to watch this series because we are great fans of Castle and many of these people showed up on our much-loved Castle , evidently wanting to work with Nathon Fillion again. So we tried to watch the series and pick out all those people and that was fun, and the humor was fun --- and Fillion is obviously playing a different character (they all are), and it was fun to see Baldwin again (the Castle series used him so well as a mercenary cop) --- but we just stopped watching it when it had so much fighting. And we felt the same way here -- the last battle must have taken 25 minutes of film time, so I have to admit, I followed this film, the continuation of the series, but didn't really sit down and WATCH it. I loved the humor and sought that out, and I loved the suspense and the great sets and read about them on line while watching, but as far as the intricacies of the plot? Didn't follow so well. I'd give this a 3. And I can't compare it to the t.v. series because I am not an expert on that show, either. So maybe you fans out there can help me with this blog by telling me and others what you got out of it. Me personally? I would mildly recommend it. P.S. the cast is great! Besides ones mentioned above, Chiwetel Ejiofor as a bad guy? splendid. And the woman who is love interest of Hitchcock is a Hallmark lady --- saw her in the grieving film the other night ("Same Time Next Week").
