Serenity
After the latest stiff and soulless Star Wars episodes, Serenity is a
welcome breath of fresh air. If it were set in the Star Wars universe,
it would be titled “The adventures of Han Solo, if he had never come
across those pesky Rebels”.
Serenity thankfully dismisses meetings, political intrigue and deep, brainy
analyses to concentrate on fighting, low-atmosphere
combat, and the unraveling of a significant mystery. This mystery
involves, of course, a race of berserk cannibals and a pretty young
girl “conditioned for combat” and “of extraordinary grace”. Just like it
should be.
Rating: Very good.
