Firefly -


Serenity -


Know what I mean?

I haven't seen the movie, but from the trailers the movie seems to have a different feel than the show. I wonder if the rest of the movie has a new attitude as well.

I know exactly what you mean ... just look at the picture of the crew in the cargo hold on the official movie web site gallery. ( http://www.serenitymovie.com/gallery.html) Serenity's innards definately have a bluish hue to them.

Knowing how Joss is very particular about every element in his productions, and knowing that good filmmakers often use color symbolically, I'm guessing there's a significance to the blue tone.

"Dear Diary...today I was pompous and my sister was crazy ... Today, we were kidnapped by hill folk never to be seen again. It was the best day ever."

I definitely agree with this also. Having seen the movie, I can confirm that most of it is blue.

Blue probably does have some significance, but I thought it felt a bit too Bladerunner, a bit too bleak dystopia. I have to emphatically point out that this did not spoil my enjoyment of the movie at all, and is only a very, very tiny and very, very personal criticism. I do not know more than Joss.

But I did kinda miss the warm glow of the table/kitchen/mealtime scenes, and the generally warm earthy brown-ness of the series.

I wondered at first whether studio execs found blue to be more identifiably 'sci-fi'.
