Serenity review

I feel like I can't say much about the movie without spoiling it (and boy I want to say things). So, I'll just have to resort to bullet points:

• The movie has a very different feel than the TV show. I almost felt cheated partway through the movie that it was so different. But I don't think I've ever sat through as much of another movie scrunched up in my seat (think "on the edge of my seat", except I was scrunched up in the folding movie seat instead of sitting on the edge of it).
• I would have rather had seasons of the show than two hours of movie (but that's a given)
• If at all possible, watch the entire TV series before you see the movie.
• Joss has balls.
• See the movie. I'll be seeing it again.

Update: I do want to say though that the movie was a little unsatisfying, but I don't want to spoil things by saying exactly how. It definitely feels like it wasn't as good as it could have been. 4 out of 5, I suppose.
