Yeah, that could be it: I felt I was missing something on character development. Mainly for Mal, and he is central. I didn't catch on until much later in the film the *possible* reason why he was behaving as he was until Inara appeared. Admittedly it took me a while to warm to him. I do pay...

Buckaroo Banzai: nah, too weird to seem like TV. Even for now. I should watch it again, been a year I bet. Vernor Vinge: I think you mentioned my favorite SF author. If I go by gut reaction. I find him incredibly addictive. Not nearly enough output, but always great and was worth the wait...

I counted my TV show season boxes, and I've seen 83. That's all (seems a lot to me!) since 1975 when I stopped watching TV OTA. I became too busy then and stayed that way. Until relatively recently. I just buy what you guys suggest, what people who know me suggest, what I remember I liked from...

Max: I'm not really experienced with TV. It felt like TV, looked like what I see on TV. That's all. No big deal. I tried to say what I could previously, but it wasn't something I was trying to put my finger on while watching. I like to pay good attention to the story, so I notice when there...

^ I didn't say that about Wrath of Khan, and I didn't see the TV series episode(s?) about it. It's my favorite Trek movie. So you are creating a straw dog, and stating your own opinion. Sorry if I don't rate this as high as you! A better writer on Khan perhaps? Better editor? Better...

The "TV look/feel" was just my opinion. The only show of those you mentioned I've seen is "24", and there's no mistaking that as a movie. I'm not saying all TV looks alike, just that this, to me, looked like TV. Perhaps it was the budget, mentioned by Joss often enough. I have not heard the...

I liked it better the second time. And after watching the extras, I think I'll like it better the third time. The extras explain a lot, or at least just enough to set the context/scenario. I wish I had watched them FIRST. Look, I said it *felt* like an extended TV episode. Feelings don't have...

I *loved* Buffy. The movie I watched before Senerity was 40-Year-Old Virgin. Very similar pic quality...digital and processed looking. Not BAD. Just not what is possible. That's why I mark it down. There has to be some standard, and I have to set that as the BEST. Not the worst, or the...

The positive side: the sound is very good. I liked the movie well enough. The PQ was not excellent IMO, very digital looking. No mistaking the transfer for a film. At least there were no annoying artifacts. Considering there was so much CGI, I guess a digital look is to be expected, but it's...

As others have inferred, I bet it would be selling even better if more WS copies had been distributed, and less FS. Around here yesterday, Serenity WS display shelves empty, FS shelves well-stocked. Bad time to be short-stocked on anything. Once again, I think the FF/Serenity popularity has been...

OK, sorry Jeff, it just seemed "rude"...maybe I'm sensitive today??:D To me, coming from the more audiophile end, though I refuse to call myself an audiophile (sounds pompous, to me), anything that removes sound content is "ruinous". I really do think that. But yes, this is probably not the...

Peter THX and Jeff Whitford: I *have* done my homework, that's why I said what I did. No need to be rude...I do come here from the audio boards, so I am kinda used to the level of rudeness there by so many participants. I do have THX-marked equip, and to me THX means nothing as far as a...

Well, unless Steve got the shaft with his review disc, only one other review of the six I've read have even bothered to mention that their review disc was watermarked. At least he's being honest. I find it hard to believe the watermark would not bother anybody's viewing experience, it would...

Yeah? Well, wait'll you hear some good dts sound. THX processing actually ruins some sound quality, you know. Not saying you had it in a THX mode, but be careful. Thanks for the review. Have had this pre-ordered for quite some time. Glad it's good! Agree that it seems really tacky to send...
