I saw the movie "Serenity" yesterday. It was a fun movie and just what I would expect from director Joss Whedon.
Whedon created the TV series "Buffy, The Vampire Slayer." I loved that show but disliked the name. "Buffy" had great dialogue, great fight scenes, but not so great plots. And I miss Buffy.
The movie "Serenity" is an outer space version of "Buffy": great dialogue, great fight scenes, and an ok plot. Also the special effects were pretty good.
In "Serenity," a spaceship captain takes on a difficult passenger, River, and her brother, Simon. River is the product of a brain washing experiment gone bad. The Alliance, the current government of a solar system (think George Bush) far out into space brainwashes its citizens when they get too rebellious. A a result of several experiments gone bad and a civil war, there are monsters in outer space who are in great need of a massive anger management program. How the creatures can be insane and fly spaceships is beyond me.
It's strange that this movie came out now. This is really a summer, popcorn movie. It's not a serious drama but just a fun movie. If you like director Joss Whedon, you'll like this movie.
NOTE: this movie is not for children.
