Brikar, question about Serenity

Bean · 06-26-2005, 07:18 PM

Now, I don't want any real spoilers, but I was wondering, did they stick with the idea of not having any sound in space, or did they "Hollywood" it and put sounds in?

Brikar · 06-26-2005, 07:58 PM

The incomplete version of the movie I saw had sound in space for exactly one scene - the big battle scene that's featured so prominently in the trailer. I thought it to be particularly uneven, but the movie was unfinished, and that was the scene that would undoubtedly involve the most work for sound mixing so I figure they just did that one first. So yeah, they "Hollywood-ed" it up. The set design also features some changes that made it seem more "Hollywood sci-fi", like the addition of numerous new flat-screen computer monitors around the sets, changing the mule from a gas-powered four-wheeler to a hovercar, etc etc.

I dunno how I feel about the sound in space bit. I know that to your casual audience, it'd be strange without the sound, but it's part of what set Firely apart from other Sci-Fi shows. Oh well, I guess that's overshadowed by "I aim to misbehave".

I swear, you could tell me that the badguys are hamsters dressed up in clown suits and I would STILL go see the movie based on that one quote

Mal's an uber-badass in this movie. Some of the shit he pulls is just... amazing. If the rest of the movie sucked, and he was just the same, it'd still be worth seeing for him and him alone.

And the movie is now officially rated PG-13 "For sequences of intense violence and action, and some sexual references".

Bean · 06-28-2005, 03:32 AM

Yayyyyy!!!!!!!!

Brikar · 06-28-2005, 03:33 AM

Damn, some of those sexual references were fucking hilarious. DAMN IT, I WANT TO SEE THE MOVIE AGAIN!!!!!!!!

Shoulda had the balls to bootleg

Brikar · 06-28-2005, 06:40 PM

No way, Universal had some hardcore security at that screening. There were guys patrolling the theatre with night-vision goggles, and they checked people on the way in.

But I got a free keychain out of the deal...

They seriously had night vision goggles on??
