My father in law moved into his new condo 6 months ago. The building has a media room which contains a digital projector with about a 12 foot screen, and an overwhelming sound system.
I only get down there a few times a year. The first time I tried the room, I watched Return of the King (sorry, but some things take precedence). I then looked forward throughout the fall, till Christmas week when I would get a chance to play Serenity.
My wife insisted that the kids got the first shift, so I had to patiently wait through Over the Hedge.
Now, I already have a 50” DLP at home which does great job. But the combo of the larger screen along with a sound system where you don’t have to worry about sleeping kids and neighbors is unmatched! Especially when you have the whole room to yourself, except for the bowl of popcorn, a coke, and a very comfy recliner.
There was one shot that stood out when viewing on a large screen. It’s the very end when Serenity is climbing through the storm and breaking into the sunlight and finally into space. Seeing that on a large screen allows you to see the love that kept her flying.

Felix...sounds like you had yourself a real shiny time watching it on that 12 foot screen...wish I could'a been there with ya.

I really regret never seeing Serenity in the movie theaters; that must have been an awesome experience for Browncoats.

I have to settle for my "old" 65 inch Mitsubishi wide-screen rear projection...not quite as high tech as today's plasmas & LCD's, but with DVD the quality is darn good.

Unfortunately, I gave up going to movie theaters a long time ago...just can't stand the rude people talking, wrapping Christmas presents, coughing, and "narrating" along the way...but for Serenity I would have made an exception had I known about Firefly in 2005.

I know exactly what you mean.

I am fortunate enough to own a projector at home, I must say that all of firefly and serenity looks truely awsome on a large screen. I occasionally just sit down with one of the disc's and watch the episodes back to back.

I was also fortunate enough to see serenity at the pictures. The opening scene on the bridge just made me realise what I was missing at home with a small screen and prompted me to get a projector, although I still prefer the seris to the BDM. It has been watched more than once on our own big damn screen

Why have they taken the sky from ME

Hmmm, you act like your chance to see Serenity in a theater is over. And it is not. AND IT IS ESPECIALLY SHINY TO SEE SERENITY OR FIREFLY EPISODES IN A THEATER WITH A ROOM FULL OF BROWNCOATS!

Got any Landmark theaters around you or any theaters that do marathons? Several Landmark theaters have been screening Serenity around holdiay weekends. Basically, a theater owner will screen a movie if they know they will make a profit. It usually takes knowing at least 25 people will show up and EAT! SHINDIG! Theaters make most of their money from food and drink.

Also, fans keep arranging Charity Serenity Screenings. See http://www.cantstoptheserenity.com

20 Organizers already signed up for 2007 June 23 screenings.
