Target has both Serenity and King Kong (2005) on sale this week for $14.99. I can only afford one of them. Which one should I get?

Yes, I have seen Serenity. That was the very first time I fell in love with Summer Glau.

Man, she kicked some major ass in the movie! Now that's my kind of girl!!

Being a fan of Firefly I would go for Serenity. It's an awesome film and a good Blu-ray.

Looks like you need to buy it too

mjbethancourt · 06-18-2009, 01:34 AM

Having seen both, I vote 'King Kong'. I didn't care for 'Serenity' at all. It's a TV show, with TV production values. In my opinion, 'King Kong' is a masterpiece... but it might not be in line with your tastes.

Serenity if you have seen Firefly, if you havent then.. well, still Serenity.. but thats just because I dont really like King Kong

(And Serenity is a very good movie)

I'm about to break the common answer here lol.

I would go with King Kong. I've never seen Firefly (my friends love it) but Serenity wasn't interesting or entertaining enough to get me through half an hour to 1 hour.

King Kong though has a slow beginning, but once they get on the ship (and finally Skull Island) the events really became thrilling. The effects, creatures and action is very artistic and engaging on Skull Island.

Though it's up to you.
