Serenity Movie DVD, original 1-disk release
November 12th, 2007 Posted in Serenity Books and Media
Serenity Movie DVD This 1-disk dvd contains the movie plus special features including introduction and director’s commentary by Joss Whedon, deleted scenes and outtakes, and three featurettes: Future History: The Story of Earth That Was, What’s in a Firefly, and Re-Lighting the Firefly. While most fans wished for more to be included, all of the extras are wonderful and the DVD actually far exceeded my expectations. The special features are interesting, touching, and can be relished many times over. There is one deleted scene that is not not on the DVD (Mal and Inara sharing a moment on Miranda) which I would have loved to see, but I’m still not complaining too much.
While this is every browncoat’s most anticipated movie, the cover art has been the subject of much criticisim among fans. One rather cool thing about it is that someone had has sense of humor; the paper it’s printed on is quite literally “shiny.” I don’t think I’ve ever seen a DVD cover like it before. The good news is that if you truly hate it, you can print out one of the many wonderful and very professional covers created by fans. They’re hosted right on this site, in the image gallery. The overall cheapest place to purchase this online is www.deepdiscountdvd.com. Overstock.com sometimes has pretty good DVD prices too.
