Serenity

Tonight I went and saw "Serenity" the movie at the theatre.
For those of you who don't know "Serenity" is a movie based on the short-lived "Firefly" series that was on TV back a few years ago (like 2002). It was a sci-fi series about space cowboys. It takes place in the future and the only two cultures that survived some great war were the old west and Chinese culture. Most of the show (and the movie) takes place in either desert outposts or wild west towns, aboard a ragtag mismatched spaceship called Serenity, in the shuttle of a "companion" (prostitute) who decorates very Chinese or in the only modern looking thing in the show, the facilities belonging to the Alliance. Similar to the Federation of Star Trek.
The twist on "Firefly" is that, unlike Star Trek, the captain and his crew are a bunch of ragtag mischief makers who oppose the Alliance, they are often found bootlegging, stealing, and the like to further their own endeavours, which usually include little more than surviving and outfitting their dilapidated ship with used parts to get through another month.
The Alliance of course doesn't see it this way and is constantly hunting down the crew. Upon taking on a seer who is wanted by the Alliance their wantedness increases.
The movie was about that very thing, the Alliance coming after Serenity and her crew, trying to get back the seer who knows information about the Alliance they would rather not have leak.
It is a very good film, although it would be very hard to follow without some background knowledge of the series, but if any of you by chance have seen "Firefly", even a few times, I would strongly suggest you see this movie.
