I was so much looking forward to seeing Serenity and when I finally did I was so infuriated by the poor condition the cinema was in, broken air condition, tiny screen (UGC in Paris), muffled sound and a stench that lingers just at the threshold of your senses. The French subtitles did not help either.
So, what positive things can I say about this movie other than “I swallowed a bug” River Tam (Summer Glau)?
Summer Glau is hip. She is it, really, she is the new Space Odyssey Amazon Über-Ninja Terminator of the year. Having seen “Firefly” before, I was ready (and able as one can be given the circumstances) to dive right into the “verse” once more and join in on a bumpy ride together with the crew of good ole Serenity, primary buffer panels or not.
