I avoided work (still not done very much) and went to the cinema to see Serenity. I don't think that I can provide a detailed review; but suffice to say the cast were very good indeed, and that this was definitely a Joss Whedon film, with its female warrior-saviour, explorations of concepts of love, and space battles as character drama. I think I might take out a leaf from
deepbluemermaid's book and see it again at some point.
