Hey everyone. I was wondering one thing; can anyone whose seen the AICN review of the script give us, WITHOUT spoilers, whether they say it's good or bad?

I'm sure it'll be good, but I'm interested what non-Browncoats reckon, especially in a reviewing capacity.

I'm going to copy and paste a few carefully chosen sentences from the AICN review, doing everything possible to avoid anything that could seriously be considered a spoiler. So......

Perhaps the single most impressive aspect of the script is how it manages to maintain just the right balance between giving those familiar with the T.V. series plenty of new material to chew on even as it draws in complete newbies to its world. My buddy had never seen the show before he procured the script, but after reading it he immediately went out and bought the DVD box set – and actually thought that the movie played better without having seen the series first. The script seems to err generally in favor of the new viewer, which is as it should be, even while it reads like Firefly through and through.

First off, to allay some fears: every member of the original cast is back......... Though the central character is clearly Captain Mal Reynolds (Nathan Fillion), there’s plenty of time spent with the other crew members.......
*
The action sequences are unique and engaging
*
I note with interest that they’re obviously looking at a PG-13 rating for the film
*
The difference between those Star Trek movies and Serenity is that by the end of this script, you feel like things have changed – both personally for the characters and in the universe of the story at large. If there’s a sequel to this film it won’t be just another interchangeable episode of their lives. It will build inevitably upon the foundation laid here, and I imagine it’ll be a much bumpier – and even more interesting – ride. Here’s hoping.



How was that?


MAL "You only gotta scare him."
JAYNE "Pain is scary..."

There's no place I can be since I found Serenity.


Considering that Adam Baldwin said it was the best script he had ever read, I don't doubt at all that (even with some changes) the BDM will be the shiniest film we have seen in a long time. Our new mantra should be "In Whedon We Trust."
