I’m not going to say much about the movie. Here are a few thoughts:
\n1. Joss Whedon is one of best storytellers currently living.
\n2. You will not know what to expect. Afterwards, you may (as I did) see why such and such happened, or why it had to, or what it accomplished, but going in… no. You won’t. You won’t know what to expect, and you won’t know how anything is going to work out.
\n3. My concerns (from the preview) of River’s fight scenes being clunky are unfounded — she moves with the grace of the dancer she is. Amazing.
\n4. It’s one of the better stories I’ve seen told on film, period. It’s one of the best sci-fi movies I’ve seen in … I don’t remember the last one I liked that much. I need for someone who hasn’t seen it to watch it and tell me if it’s confusing or if relationships are unclear, but I don’t think they are.
\n5. Joss had a recorded message to the Browncoats at the beginning of the show that was awesome. Just awesome.
\nFinally: I’ve always preferred Joss’ original explanation of the ‘verse: “one system, many planets, colonized by generation ships, don’t talk to me about science” approach — it’s the way the original voice-overs for the show read, and it’s what I liked about it. The movie sticks with that, cuz F*x isn’t in there fucking with things.
\nAnyone who has a problem with the tech of it or the odds of a system like that existing can explain how it’s any more unbelievable than the fairytale of Faster Than Light travel. (Something the human mind *wants* to believe simply because the vastness of space means we will probably always be alone, otherwise.)
\nFirefly’s always been about the people. The tech is irrelevant. There are worlds. These folk live on em. These other folk fly between them. Sometimes it takes awhile. “Dead in the Water” means “no power” not “stationary”. The end.
\nAbsolutely. Amazing.
