"someone on another board was saying that they would probably wait for the DVD sales figures to decide wether to invest in sequel/s."
To my knowledge, the TV DVDs have sold well (200,000+ units). I can't imagine that the theatrical version won't do well either.
Some reviews at www.browncoats.com
'm not going to say it's the best science fiction movie, ever.
Oh, wait. Yes I am." - Orson Scott Card
5/5 "The first masterpiece of 2005" - Stefan Halley Hero Realm
A+ "Can proudly be placed alongside “The Empire Strikes Back” and “Blade Runner” as one of the best science-fiction movies of modern cinema." - Edward Havens FilmJerk.com
"Scene for scene, 'Serenity' is more engaging and certainly better written and acted than any of Mr. Lucas's recent screen entertainments." - Manohla Dargis New York Times
4/4 "'Serenity' earns director Whedon spot on sci-fi's Mount Rushmore" - Peter Hartlaub San Francisco Chronicle
A- "It's equal parts deadly action, deadpan comedy and knotty mystery." - E! Online
4.5/5 "The film is teeming with an overwhelming amount of integrity, heart, soul, and some of the best written characters to invade genre fiction in quite some time." - Spence D. IGN FilmForce
3.5/4 "[Joss Whedon] makes the smart choice to create drama through character development rather than action." - Lawrence Toppman Charlotte Observer
3/4 "Serenity is made of dubious but energetic special effects, breathless velocity, much imagination, some sly verbal wit and a little political satire." - Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times
"Serenity" flies with sass and spirit, qualities that have been in palpably short supply in that "Star Wars" series since, well, "Star Wars." - Jan Stuart Newsday.com
