One of the things that separates good movies from bad movies, or for that matter, good entertainment from bad entertainment is the quality of writing behind the endeavor. The best writers can not just bring you into the story, they can also make time compress itself in the unfolding of their stories, so much so that you can't believe that so much time has passed since you started watching, and that so much has happened on screen in such a short time.
Joss Whedon's Serenity does both - the writing is excellent, the acting is very well done, and it's a bang-up job overall. As movies go, it's well worth whatever they're charging at the multiplex these days just for the sake of seeing on the big screen - and maybe worth seeing more than once....
