This rev...Thanks for the great comments, my friend! This review was a labor of love and took me forever to write as I wanted to do the film justice.<br /><br />I really do hope that Joss can bring back FIREFLY or do a SERENITY sequel. As you say, with the clout he has from THE AVENGERS, one would hope that he could parlay that into getting another film greenlit. We shall see.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407391624985829089.post-59003478048442213972013-06-14T13:25:46.683-04:002013-06-14T13:25:46.683-04:00Yes! Thrilled to see this one pop up and see J.D....Yes! Thrilled to see this one pop up and see J.D.'s thoughts on one of the all-time best sci-fi adventure films. <br /><br />Whedon makes it all seem so effortless but how brilliant is this film?<br /><br />Alfred Hitchcock would be proud of that run through the ship with the camera. Amazing!<br /><br />Great point about Whedon's use of quiet. That scene as they attempt to pass Reaver space is a thrill a minute in the deadly quiet of space.<br /><br />As you note, it's a tremendous cast. Brilliant. I've yet to see Nathan Fillion fill a role so perfectly. The material here is just that good. What a wonderful character to play.<br /><br />A recent interview with Whedon in TIME noted he is pained by its cancellation every day. How could you not. This baby of his was simply an exceptional creation.<br /><br />I shouldn't sound so pessimistic, but all of the browncoat love and sales of the DVD and Blu-Ray of the series. What has it delivered? This series should have been brought back by now. How frustrating to fans like myself. What a loss.<br /><br />I would have loved to have seen Summer Glau take on The Operative. That would have been fun too.<br /><br />With what Whedon managed and scored with on The Avengers he should be able to snap his fingers for a return to Firefly on TV. Come on.<br /><br />One last thing, great final paragraph. It does take the best elements of Star Trek and Star Wars and yet create its own universe. And, as you said, it's far superior in every way to the Star Wars prequels. It's simply not even a close call.<br /><br />Whedon uses every frame and every moment to great effect. He doesn't waste a thing. Lucas' prequels feel like bloatware in parts. Laborious, lumbering affairs that lost their way from the original Star Wars films. Not Firefly and not Serenity. That film and series deliver near perfection.SFFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04256589316922398158noreply@blogger.com
