By far the best film of this year. It is a relief that there were two science-fiction films of high caliber this year, "Batman Begins" being the other one.
Some of the style-ings are unconventional, and you have to listen carefully to the dialogue where a lot of important plot points are revealed (this movie assumes you are a person of some intelligence and attention), however this film is handsomely worked, with all manner of surprises and amazing action sequences that you can actually follow.
There are many themes explored in the film, political, intellectual, personal... and they all are circumferenced by hilarious antics and dialogue. Writer-Director Joss Whedon is an expert at playing with emotion, but he doesn't sacrifice the dignity of the film in order to do it.
All the actors are believable, complete with brilliant timing, and profound depth to each action and facial twitch. As much as the dialogue is key in the film, there is at least as much revealed through the silent responses of the actors in their roles.
This film appeals to a wide range of audiences, from the science fiction fanatic, to the men and women out for a piece of entertainment with pretty faces and sculpted bodies. It is at times a comedy, a drama, an action adventure, all spiked with horror, suspense and even spirituality.
Worth your while. Highest of marks. Guaranteed to become a classic.

This phenomenal television show, which only aired eleven episodes (out of order) has become a cult hit. The DVD sales went crazy and Universal offered to greenlight a film.
The television show has something for everyone. Drama, action, comedy, romance, social commentary, philosophy, sex, explosions,thrilling heroics. There is a very strong character structure and the storyline is more than merely the simplistic fluff one normally sees on television theses days.
Each of the characters have depth and complicated psyches, all of them are intrinsic to the completeness of the show and no one of them is ever redundant.
It puts people off at times to call this a Space Western. I think it is more accurately described as an interesting peek into the lives of people trying to make it on their own in at times completely uncharted territory. It is people who want to make freedom for themselves and are all in one way or another, seeking serenity.

When I was about the same age as the characters in the show, I watched "Flash Forward"... and loved it. It was real. The characters really feel like people at your own school, people you might be friends with. Or at least people you'd like to be friends with.
Even though it was in general a lot lighter and frothier than actual middle school, there was enough realism to make it convincing. Jewel Staite is absolutely incredible and continues to fascinate and amaze with her talent.
The stories were fun, and some of the dialogue was really incredible, particularly for what is considered a 'youth' show. I hope someday there are more young shows of this caliber.
Now if I can just get this on DVD!
