Serenity

7.5/10. Watched this on February 19 on DVD.

This big-screen adaptation of the small-screen flop "Firefly" is, unfortunately, not an example of just how good that show could be. (Writer-director Joss Whedon admits that he had trouble with the script.)

Nevertheless, it is still very good, with a particularly impressive climax that becomes progressively, and unnervingly, reminiscent of The Wild Bunch. I'm not exaggerating: at a certain point, I honestly believed that Whedon had decided to kill off his entire beloved ensemble cast.
