Saw Serenity: NO SPOILERS

[dangermousie]

Oh. My. God.

gfjuojfergjigo99v89n69ndfjsfkmxlmixkgx^&%Uhdijm9jfm!!!!!

I am in absolute and complete state of shock, awe and giddiness.

I don't remember the last time I was so absorbed into a movie, the last time a movie left me breathless, the last time I laughed one minute and cried the next, and felt that dread in the pit of your stomach so acutely and melted into puddle of goo so thoroughly, and grieved in one crazy, potent two-hour mixture.

It was like Firefly to the exponential of a 1000.

Oh, and the dialogue so sharp it could cut, and funny and moving and clever all at once. And the plot that is twisty and intelligent. And all the wonderful, wonderful WONDERFUL characters. I love Joss Whedon, I love the cast and crew of Serenity. I want to see it again right away, even though it's 2:40am in the morning and I have to be at work. And its still sinking in and I am nowhere near coherence but I am on this crazy, impossible high. Do I sound like a crazed fan? Well, maybe I am. Serenity made me into one.

It's the best movie ever. Well, maybe not, but it feels like it is.

P.S. Seriously, I am normally a spoiler whore, but I am beyond glad I saw this unspoiled. My midnight showing was jam-packed. And the audience was great: laughing, applauding, gasping and awwing throughout. I gasped and aughed and applauded and awwed my fair share, I admit.

Saw this on friendsfriends and had to mention how awesome the movie was and that I can't believe it was made.

I had to comment because this was the first serenity regular release post I've seen

I honestly couldn't believe how amazing it was. It was like everything I'd ever hoped only 100 times better. I know it isn't, but it feels like this amazing personal gift!

In a way, I think it is a personal gift. Maybe not personal in the sense that it is just for you but in the sense that it is for us. Joss even talked in the pre-screening message about how the movie was because of the fans.

I feel the same way you do that this is somehow a personal gift. I think we all do.

PS Icon LOVE!

*has nothing to add, so just nods*

This movie was such a labor of love really, and it shows!

[hobviously.livejournal.com]

Awww, yay!

I'm so excited for tomorrow night.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I am usually all about reviews, but I am just incoherent.

I'd offer Joss my firstborn, but my husband would object!

[rawles.livejournal.com]

Awwww, this fills me with joy.

I will see it again so soooooon I can barely contain myself.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

It was the BESTEST. THING. EVER.

It made me bring out my CAPSLOCK of JOY.

I am seeing it again tomorrow night. Eeeee!

*dies* Well, if it's possible, this post just amped up my anticipation one more dizzying notch.

I am seeing this thing every day this weekend.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Yay! My new motto is that everyone should see Serenity. Can't wait to see ot again!

I'm so happy you loved it!
I'm going after school (apparently at Serious New School, we are not allowed to cut class to see movies. Wierd, right?).
I've been trying to spread the good word about it.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

LOL!

Don't tell anyone I told you, but this one is worth cutting class for :P

Drive by *squee*! Joy! I don't remember the last time I was this randomly excited about a movie, and not even because I'm a firefly fan and, you know, "yay! movie" but because, well, damn, it's just that good.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I know! So good! I am in withdrawal.....

[jammer77.livejournal.com]

OMGIcan'twait.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

So. Good. I am still incoherent and can type no review.

[poisontaster]

I was really afraid that seeing an advanced screening would make my squee less on Serenity Day (because that's what it IS, dammit!), but I was wrong! The giddiness! The giggles! The joy! I'm still so VERY EXCITED! It's wonderful, isn't it?

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I know. I just can't concentrate on anything.

[snacktastic.livejournal.com]

I guess I got to see it. I know that i have to watch Firefly first. Good thing my roomate has the DVDs and I can settle in and watch it. It looks really good.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

It realy is an amazing show. I decided to watch the DVDs on a whim and ended up completely hooked!

[snacktastic.livejournal.com]

The reviews have been really good too. Looks like Joss has finally been fully exonerated for Fox's hasty decision to yank this show.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I hope this movie makes a gazillion dollars just so Fox will know what they lost (and because this movie deserves it).

Apparently if it does well, Serenity is supposed to be the first of a trilogy.
