Since I complained about tv before I want to add a positive.
This movie does not get enough credit. And possibly the best opening sequence of almost all time.
Serenity’s “Landing” sequence
The music, the logo becoming the ship, the way it quickly intrudes the characters so perfectly to those who don’t know them.
and the quotes. My god the quotes!
Quotes
“This landing is gonna get pretty interesting.”
“Define “interesting”.”
“Oh God, oh God, we’re all going to die?”
“Well, what you plan and what takes place ain’t ever exactly been similar.”
“This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then - explode.”
“We’re robbing the place, we’re not occupying it.”
“You told me those entry couplings would hold for another week!”
“That was six months ago, Cap’n.”
“My ship don’t crash. If she crashes, you crashed her.”
“…If anything happens to her, anything at all, I swear to you, I will get very choked up. Honestly, there could be tears.”
“Honestly Doctor, I think we may really crash this time anyway”

Such a work of art.
Check this out.
As you know an Uncharted movie came out based on the games and I thought it was horribly miscast at the time and still do.
This was a fan project that Nathan Fillion was in before the movies came to reality.
Nathan Fillion Uncharted.
This is one of the pieces of media where I subscribe to “the author is dead” - it’s just too good
Yeah me too.
The cast, the production, it’s all just -chef’s kiss-
I just try and block out who is actually behind it.
Firefly/Serenity are still among my all-time faves. Great fun storytelling.
Well ‘fun’ unless you’re a leaf on the wind, of course… :|

That killed teenage me, I was devastated. Absolutely wrecked.
I love watching Nathan Fillion.
I have seen Serenity but not the Firefly series but maybe I should start Firefly one day.
