Tyrion Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 River's pic was taken from the international movie poster, it looks like. Arms are in different positions, but yeah I guess I could see River looking like that in the DVD now. I still think the cover sucks, though.

Lightsaberboy Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 yea, it's ok. hopefully if they have a special edition dvd, the cover will be better. I like the way they put the title in front of the planet like that, but the rest is meh. there should also have been a bigger shot of Serenity, ya know, the ship.... >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 I think it looks badass. But...whatever, why does it matter? I think the important thing is what comes INSIDE the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Because good presentation will attract other people that haven't seen it. As it is, it looks like some cheesy low budget sci-fi channel coke creation. I say lay it out like the series dvd's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toms Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Yeah, but she does look pretty good. But she doesn't look like anyone that was in the movie. Except maybe Irana It doesn't show a lot of confidence by the distributors that all the posters make it look like an Underworld/Resident Evil flick about a girl called Serenity who does matrix style martial arts. Now the dvd makes it look like it has LOTR style massive battles asm well. Some people are gonna be kinda confused when they see it. The firefly DVD case wasn't spectacular, but it seemed a bit more classy and at least reflected what was in the box: http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0000AQS0F.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg Personally I think a plain, weathered style one with the serenity logo on it would be more interesting visually. http://www.jasongriffey.net/images/serenity_logo.jpg or maybe this version: http://img287.imageshack.us/img287/7088/serenitycoverllama7ye.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightsaberboy Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 ok, so i got my copies of the dvd on tues. here's my thoughts on the dvd.... the movie is excellent, but then again we already know that, so there's no need to go into that stuff. the cover is alright. i like the center with the "serenity" over the planet but other than that the other stuff seems out of place, like that whole army of reavers onthe bottom and river's pose on the top. the bonus features are great, although limited. there's joss's introduction that he gave during the special screenings that were played in the summer, which is truly an inspiring speech and shows how much he really loves his story. The other featurettes are cool as well. The deleted scenes are nice. There's a bunch of mal and inara scenes that tehy cut out that we finally get to see, as well as a bunch of scenes with some great jokes. also a scene that explained more about inara's backstory and what exactly a companion was. it would've been nice for them to keep it in, but in the end it made sense to leave them out. the gag reel is hilarious. 6 minutes of nonstop bloopers. i was bursting out laughing at a lot of points cause they mess up, but they keep adlibbing their lines while staying in character at the same time. joss's commentary was very informative and provided lots of insight to the movie. i always liked listening to his commentaries cause they were informative and humorous at the same time. overall i give the dvd a 4/5. i docked it off a point cause of the dvd cover and there werent that many bonus features. hopefully if this sells well they'll release a special edition dvd with loads more stuff and maybe a cast commentary as well. oh and if no one found it yet, there's an easter egg on the main menu. when it starts up, press left and it'll go to a small red circle on the right side. click that and it'll do a small featurrette on teh fruity oaty bar commercial, then play the whole thing. it's reallyfunny and bizzare and reminds me of those weird japanese commercials. i got the song stuck in my head now.

"Look, I need you to pile up the bodies and string 5 or 6 of them on the nose of our ship, and make sure you put Book in the center, he's our friend, we should honor him... Kaylee, go find that kid who's taking a dirt nap with baby Jesus, we need a hood ornament!.... And Jayne, stop trying to steal their ****!" Funniest. "Blooper." Ever.

toms Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Got the BBC Film of the Year award from their film2005 viewers http://www.bbc.co.uk/films/film2005/filmofyear_2005.shtml so to the other people from work who thought it sucked... i'm still holding out for the inevitable director's cut dvd though!

Lightsaberboy Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 joss said that there will be no director's cut already since he was given full control over this movie, so he says the movie we saw was his director's cut. a special edition dvd tho, with extra commentaries and features might stll be possible tho.

ET Warrior Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I know I'd shell out another 20 bucks to get my hands on some more features Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toms Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 With every film under the sun getting extended cuts, with fans hating the cover, with firefly doing so well on dvd and with hardcore fans like us always being willing to shell out more for special editions/extended cuts/director's cuts I can't believe the studio won't release some sort of extended cut/special edition... even if they don't call it a director's cut. I'd like to see them add back in some inara stuff. *sits and waits for extended cuts of serenity, sin city and hellboy* (in the uk) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Groovy Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I finally got around to renting this movie just a few days ago, and I am sorry to say, I don't see that the big deal is about it. Am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclaimer Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I thought Firefly had good potential, it was very good. By the way...for those who didn't know, it comes on at 6pm Central (7pm Pacific) on Sci-Fi, right before Stargate SG-1 (Which is the best show evar btw...)

Am I missing something?You're probably missing the background of being a fan of the TV show. Seriously, it adds so much more depth and meaning it's ridiculous.

toms Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Online film critics awards nominations, see bottom category: http://www.moviecitynews.com/awards/2006/cirtics_awards/ofcs.html I can't decide whether to wait for the uk release: which has few details so far, or order it a month in advance from autrailia with 2 discs, extra features (over the US and maybe UK) and a choice of two cool cases (but pay a small amount more once you include shipping): or which one do you guys reckon i should go for??

ET Warrior Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Get all 3.I like where your head's at. ^_^ Though if you only want one toms, I'd go with the third one. It looks the best, and if it potentially has more features, well I'd be totally sold on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Groovy Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 What didn't you like? It's lack of focus. It assumes that everyone already knows everything about the Firefly TV show already. I know there was a story in there somewhere, but it was sure hard to spot the first time through. It's not the worst thing I have seen, but I think it's a bit overated in the Swamp here.

Lightsaberboy Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 it told everyone what the story was in the first 10 minutes before the title appears. that's enough explanation to get non-viewers up to speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably why I just didn't get into it. Never assume things about your audience. This movie was made strictly for the fans, and nothing more.

toms Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I'm not unfond of the tin one either... thats the same poster as they had in the uk and it isn't too bad... except it doesn't actually show serenity... As for the film, what a lot of people disliked about it was the way it mixed comedy and drama/action in the same film... but then again, thats what a lot of people liked about it.
