I went in to the movie knowing absolutely zero about it; only its place in pop culture history. I was very impressed and suprised by how visceral an experience it was. That scene where the reavers (sp?) come out of the clouds behind the ship made the movie for me.
Serenity is a bit like a Star Wars featuring Han Solo. I couldn't help but think how badly George Lucas botched the Star Wars prequels. Here is a movie full to the brim with heart and swagger.
My only caveat was the high level of violence. Less than a Verhoevan fillm, but still more than I was expecting.
