No spoilers here.
Went to see Serenity yesterday with a bunch of friends. We'd all been to one of the previews, but wanted to see the final version, and thought it was a good idea to go on opening weekend and help with those numbers.
I think this version is a lot better than the preview--the picture doesn't seem as dark, and there's background music, and I think there may have been some added or modified scenes, because things that had been a bit confusing the first time through were less so. It was useful that I'd seen the preview, too, because the theater people didn't remember to turn off the lights in our room, so I knew what I would be missing at the point that I ran out and asked them to.
It was a good movie. Funny at some parts, and serious in others. I'm always happy to see shows in which the bad guys have brains, and use them, and women are not there simply to be decorative and have emotions. I think it does make sense without having seen the series, (though of course everyone should rent or buy Firefly immediately), and the emotional impact of some scenes is obviously heightened by better acquaintance with the characters.
I hope it does well, and that there will be a sequel. *fingers crossed*
