I agree. One thing I can't stand is how the sets for Serenity (the spaceship) were changed to be so cold and metal feeling now. Before the main hangar felt warm and inviting. In general there was too much of that sort of cold blue coloring everywhere in the film.

I also agree with Stinky about the original series being a lot better. C3PX mentioned that the movie didn't have enough introductions, but I think it had too much if you ask me. It was expecting new viewers to get caught up with everyone in a very short space of time and then supposedly care about the characters in the way a fan would, and there was no way that would have worked. The movie should have jumped straight into the drama and forgotten the damn introductions completely. Let new viewers enjoy the characters based upon their roles and nothing more. Then the movie would have been about awesome character interaction and drama. The series always had that perfect.
