Serenity 2005
Serenity was a story of the Alliance, a collection of planets settled by Earthlings, and its government that tries to be a Tipper Gore happy happy joy joy it’s for your own good totalitarian state. Only, two big problems. One - not everyone wants to be told what to do. Two - there are sci-fi zombie boogeymen out there that the Alliance swears up and down don’t exist, even though too many people already know better.
This is another movie that has so much going on that different interpretations are possible. Mine? I saw a love story. No, not some hokey boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl back crap, but a brother’s unconditional love for his sister. A brother who would risk death (and much worse) to free his “special” sister from bondage, a sister who is almost literally a walking time-bomb.
