some hardcore fans dont really like the movie tho cause of book and wash's death, going off on how joss betrayed them, how he took the sky from them, yadda yadda yadda. i think they're whiners but that could hurt the word of mouth also if they're gonna boycott the movie.

They are whiners, his story he can off who he wants.

I changed the name of the thread, since it's not really one week to go anymore. :D

 

 

I think people who bitch about the deaths are closed minded whiners. While I was rather sad that book and wash died, I think their deaths made the movie better. They made it real, gritty, and gut-wrenching. There was more emotion, and there was more intensity. Book dying really made me feel that Joss was willing to kill anyone, so I never felt that anyone was safe. I was, at one point, very certain that EVERYONE was going to die, including Mal.

well the weekend box office results are in. Serenity placed second with 10.1 million. Flightplan took the lead with 15 million. Into the blue placed 5th with about 7 million.

 

at least it beat into the blue, but the box office numbers werent that great. granted they werent terrible also, but if this film has any chance of warranting a sequel it needs some good word of mouth to get more tickets sold.

I posted this in the Serenity thread in the Alto forum, but I'll put it here as well...

 

Alas, Serenity was the only film this weekend (top 10 at least) to have fewer ticket sales on Saturday as it did on Friday according to Box Office Mojo. That usually is a very bad sign, but word of mouth may be strong and it could do better next weekend. But I suspect that this may be a "niche" film that will end up being a cult classic, but lack box office success. We will have to watch and see...

 

I will likely be catching the film this weekend...

Toms: No, I never saw firefly in my life. From lightsaberboy's sig I felt a vibe of pure cheese coming from Serenity.

 

But ET usually (read: usually) makes good calls, so I decided to see this one anyway.

well for friday they also added the sales from all the previous prescreenings, so you gotta take that into factor as well.
It may, I'm not sure. But that would mean all the other films' numbers would as well...

... but that was one of the best moments in the movie!

 

It was like...1 second long... and they didn't make a big deal out of that line. Which is good. :p

 

Dialogue is pretty good in this movie. All the characters have good chemistry with each other.

What's that? Orson Scott Card LOVES Serenity?

 

I'll let that sink in a moment.

 

Orson freakin' Scott Card. It may mean little to some or even most of you, but those who read a lot of science fiction know what I'm talking about, I particularly enjoy this snippet the most

Well, guess what.

 

It's great.

 

I'm not going to say it's the best science fiction movie, ever.

 

Oh, wait. Yes I am.

That's right. He said it's the best science fiction movie EVER. :D

Eh, Orson Scott Card is kinda over-rated, so his opinion on a sci-fi movie won't be held higher than any other person. By me that is.

 

I still think Forbidden Planet and The Day The Earth Stood Still are the best sci-fi movies.

And with that...I kill you.

 

*stab*

 

 

 

 

Seriously peoples, if you haven't seen Serenity yet...you should probably do something about that. I don't care if you think the previews look cheesey / stupid / whatever, we already have two

 

On rottentomatoes there are over 100 fresh critic reviews, and over 200 fresh user reviews.

 

It. Rocks.

this movie needs to do well! it's awesome and everyone and their mother needs to see it!

 

I already made my mother see it (I loaned her and my step-father the Firefly dvds a couple months back). Already made several of my friends see and I'm looking to bring at least 3 more tomorrow or saturday, as I've given them a week to watch the dvds as well.

 

Think what we really need is to have all the fans, Browncoats or otherwise, go and see the movie again, and make everyone who's already seen it before bring at least one friend with them who hasn't seen see it. Heck, with the DVD sales soaring again (it was like #2 or 3 on Amazon this week and has been selling out all over the place), Serenity has the potential to have a very strong second weekend. Just wish they'd had released it in more theatres...

Man, saw the movie last night. I am so getting the DVD, it was awesome. The camera work was great. But the editing in how the shots changed so quickly was kinda annoying. But it was awesome. :D

 

If you haven't seen it, see it!

Saw the movie along with my dad and brother.

 

Okay. Joss Whedon is, in my opinion, up in the very pinnacle of human creation right with John Lennon and...and....Joss Whedon.

 

Everything was great about it...the plot, the combat, special effects...

 

 

even Wash dying, he had saved his family in a moment of glory. What more could he have asked for?

 

 

 

Besides living a long life with Zoe, 'course...

 

 

Howsabout we be a little courteous and hide the big spoilers you silly boy ~ET

what's with hiding the spoilers if the title clearly states that there's spoilers? O_o

 

anyways, the film only made abut $1.6 million on friday. i doubt it will be able to make it to $20 million by the end of sunday. i'm hoping, but as the days go by it's looking less and less likely. looks like the chances of a sequel are getting slim.... :(

Problem is too many people are writing it off without seeing it. Heck, I've paid for the tickets of 5 of my friends already to go see it, and every one of them loved it. If people would get a clue and actually SEE it instead of just automatically writing it off, then things would actually pick up. Course it's not our fault I guess if people don't know what they're missing.

Because some people still look at threads with spoilers in them, and it's just nice of us to hide the big ones.

 

How would you feel having that ruined for you?

Sorry about that...came home at one in the morning...

 

Of course, if people look at threads with spoilers in them, wouldn't it be logical to assume that they'll just highlight the spoilers too?
