I just got finished reading this. As far as I am concerned something is better than nothing and given that the movie really was just another longer episode in the series.... I don't see a problem with it not hitting theaters.

Any amount or form of new Firefly is infinitely superior to no amount of new Firefly!

Firefly is too smart for the general public, therefore it will fail. Look at the box office receipts;

Budget: $39 million
Revenue: $37 million - includes overseas

Add DVD purchases and rentals and it will barely break even. Crying or Very sad

It might find second wind on DVD-- just like the series itself did!

Take our show, take our cast,
Show them out of order, all half-assed.
I don't care, there's DVD,
You can't take the show from me...

I dread to think how much the show itself cost. They shot it all on 35mm, and it's probably got more effects shots than any series ever.

I don't think it's all that smart, though. I think spaceships just scare Buffy people away.

I haven't seen the movie yet (please don't beat me!), but did it provide some 'resolution' to the series? Meaning, did it provide and 'end' per se or is it possible to continue with more movies/series/etc in the future?

The movie resolves some things but it's not exactly Return of the Jedi in that there isn't a complete and total victory for the "good guys" at the end-- there's a victory, but many things still haven't changed. There's still the possibility of more adventures for the Serenity crew.

Well.. he will... if he ever gets around to meeting any of them. Wink

One half of me wants to start a Horde character just to see how the other half lives. The other half of me wants to wait for it to be a surprise for Ramistine.

Yeah, it's fun to make your first run through The Barrens, constantly looking out for Horde, even if you're not pvp-flagged. Flag yourself if you really want to heighten the tension. Very Happy
