Give the series a chance. I'm a huge Browncoat and actually didn't care for the movie the first time I saw it. I've since come around but think the movie can't really be appreciated without being a fan of the show.

I'm sure Universal is working on it...I believe it's one of the title covers that's shown on their inserts.

I acutally reall enjoyed the movie the first time i saw it. Granted, i had just watched the series and i agree that once you see the series and then watch the movie it makes a lot more sense and ties a lot more together. One can not appreciate the movie with watching the series. I will buy this day one.

swifty7 · 08-19-2008, 07:23 PM

to me Firefly was one of those rare shows where everything worked together to perfection: casting, story, music, cinematogrpahy and so on.

WHY IN HELL WAS THIS BRILLIANT SHOW CANCELED. I myself like the series a bit better than the movie. Whom ever was reponsible behind the cancellation should have been shot many times.

I will buy the blu-ray set in a heart beat as long as I can find a good deal online.

X400 · 08-19-2008, 07:44 PM

question! is the movie a part of the series (continuation, prequel)? or is it seperate but based on the series? (like OVA for anime)

groovyone · 08-19-2008, 07:48 PM

Movie is a continuation.

Let's all boycott Firefly!

If I'm Universal, I would want to release Serenity the same day. Hopefully we'll get a firm date on that soon.

Serenity is basically the second half of the TV series condensed into a movie in order to finish those story arch off.
Thats why I cant understand how people can see the movie without having seen the series.

In fact to me watching the movie is a little sad, as it is like a sped up outline of what the rest of the series would have been like.

(Yes Heresy - burn me too)

I'm surprised you felt this way. Most people found it rather well done (it had a fairly high % on rottentomatoes.com)

A friend of mine saw it without seeing any of the series and thought it was amazing. She saw the series later and appreciated it more, however.

I think I read that Joss Whedon said it was more or less how the rest of season 1, and season 2 would have ended up. In other words, had the series lasted several seasons we'd have reached points that take place even after "SERENITY" left us off... which makes me ache for a sequel film every moment...

X400 · 08-20-2008, 02:20 AM

oh cool thanks for the answers guys

makes me want a part2 the movie ended off pretty nice id like to see where they could take it

While I loved the show and loved the movie my though is what if it did not get cancled.

Would the show still be good or would of we even got a movie had the show been running.

I actually saw the movie first and saw the show after so I for me "in a small way" I am glad it got cancled.

Given some producers/studios for the shows don't know when to call it quits and rather run it into the ground rather then leave on a high note.

AaronSCH · 10-25-2008, 05:43 PM

I loved this series and cannot wait till it is released. I just wish Universal had seen fit to release "Serenity" the same week...I am sure it is on the way. Now I am hoping that "Farscape gets a Blu-ray release real soon.

Chad Varnadore · 10-25-2008, 06:00 PM

Best new Sci-fi concept since Star Wars - very well written. I didn't take to the show as strongly when it aired out of order thanks to studio execs that should be forbidden power in an industry based on creative thinking they obviously know little about. But, I fell in love with Firefly on DVD and hope Wheddon someday revisits the series in further feature films as well.

The TV CG budget may not hold up to Serenity, but otherwise the show has the potential to look great in high def.

I watched Firefly on Universal HD and the effects looked pretty decent.
