It's very rare for Australia to get a movie release before the rest of the world, so when it turns out that the movie in question is the long awaited FireFly movie, Serenity, then it's pens down, popcorn up.
As FireFly is long gone with small hope of resurrection, Whedon doesn't mess around when it comes to making dramatic changes to the FireFly universe, and through this Serenity manages to avoid the 'it's like a long episode' feeling that plagues such movies. Fans will find it a fitting 'end' to the series, while newcomers will get their money's worth in drama. It's not going to turn sci-fi haters around, and it's not the next Star Wars, it's just a great non-stop rollercoaster of a movie that you'll enjoy every minute of. Highly recommended.
On a side note, this was one of the first showings in Australia and the theatre was packed - suprisingly though, people dressed like Australian software engineers (it's a distinctive look) made up only half of the audience, with groups of young girls and middle-aged couples making up the rest. Super neat.
