Go See Serenity Now. Its very very good.

same question, i wanted to finish the season on dvd before i see it, does it make it better? or no difference?
 
I didnt like the show for some reason but LOVED the movie. It was freaking sweet. During the movie-theres one line that cracked me up that nobody else laughed at which made me feel like a tool-in one action sequence they ask for a ammo count and jayne says-Ive got 3 clips and a swinging cod....funny stuff i tell you. and lots of ball breaking lines in that movie too.
 
Ugh - this is getting hyped too much. I know I'm going to see it eventually, I just don't want to be let down after reading all the fanboy posts.

I was worried I might be let down by it but within 20 minutes of the beginning I felt right at home. If you liked the series, or even if you just casually watched it, you will LOVE the movie.
 
So I saw it last night. I thought it was OK. You can watch the movie without knowing the series, but I think it would help out much more to know the series. You can pick up the character quirks fairly easily, but the big picture to me seemed like a "so what" since I didn't know the series. It's long/slow it parts. The characters have their own places, but seem the usual fodder. Also, it seems at times to play like a long episode instead of a movie, not only story wise but some shot set ups seemed this way too.
I was yawning and wondering when it'll wrap up. It was only a 7pm show. On the forums, fanboys are hoping for sequels or for the show to be picked up again. I may watch the dvd's to see if I can get into it over time. For now the firefly needs to stop blinking.
 
I loved it being a Firefly fanboy. My girlfriend loved and she was only willing to give it a shot because the guy behind Buffy and Angel made the film.

I would almost argue that it could be our generations Star Wars, except that Star Wars broke some new cinematic ground. This film does not; however, the film itself is top notch.

Finish the box set first. It definitely enhances the movie since you'll be familiar w/the backstory.

I'll vouch for that consider the emotional attachment to the characters is much better...like when ______ dies, i couldnt care less since ______ wasnt in the movie much, but when ______ died...at least ______ was in it long enough for me to care
 
Its defiantly worth watching the BoxSet before the movie. You get a stronger attachment to the characters. The movie totally rocked. Defiantly one of the Best movies this year. I can't wait for Serenity 2. I'm going to go see it again later this week.

Not to sound like a dick, but the very reason for a discussion thread on a movie is so we don't get like 3 or 4 separate threads stacked on top of each other talking about the same thing.

Edit: Also I agree with everyone else, finish the series, at the very least it gives you depth for most of the characters and really the whole show in general.

It doesn't matter if the thread is on the first page or not, you turd. That thread is recent, and therefore this should have gone there.

He didn't sound like a dick at all, but you do.
