Saturday is Serenity Day

[coalescent]

Yes, as of yesterday the Big Damn Movie finally made it to the UK. In celebration, some links:

• Watch the first nine and a half minutes of the film here.


• Empire magazine's various features.


• Serenity around LJ: coffee_and_ink here, gadarene here, the_red_shoes here, nihilistic_kid here. My original reaction, after the preview, plus discussion, here. Spoilers all over the shop, obviously.


• A long and interesting review by Gary Westfahl (who hasn't seen Firefly) at Locus Online; Whedonesque readers comment here.


• A brief and mostly positive review from Peter Bradshaw in the Guardian.


• A glowing review from Front Row (first segment in the show).


• Interesting review in Wired.

The numbers in the US have been less than spectacular, so a sequel looks unlikely, but you never know.

EDIT: ninebelow has a poll about Book here.

And on a different note, Joss Whedon reviews Veronica Mars.
