Technically any good? Eh--not really. It seemed to rely an awful lot on the failed series that prequelled this movie. I wasn't used to the way any of the characters speak the English language. As a result, I found myself understanding the individual words the characters used, but I was unable to understand what the meaning actually was. The movie was definitely heavy on the "this is really important" vibe I used to get from Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Buffy and Serenity share the same creator, Joss Whedon), but ultimately, things were very messy and confusing. And thanks to the reliance on the prequel series, Joss didn't bother to develop the characters at all--so I didn't care for anyone at all. It was sad, because I really wanted to like this.
How did it leave me feeling? Disappointed. When is Joss going to really explore ideas without getting distracted with trying to be cool? And yes, Joss, once again, has boring fight scenes and, frankly, unbelievable stunts featuring a skinny, teenage girl who some how is able to deck men three times her size with no reasonable explanation. Come on, Joss--time to grow a little, buddy. I should say that I liked how they killed main characters off with little warning. It's just a shame that none of the other characters seemed to care too much when this happened.
Final Rating? RTV (Only if you're a fan of Firefly, the series this movie sequels.)
