Title: Why not Edmondson?
Product review: Meh. That's the best that can be said of this soundtrack. Which is disappointing, because music enhanced the action on FIREFLY so much! Greg Edmondson's innovative scoring in the show was so fresh and unique, and punched up the drama in wondrous ways. In fact, I can't think of a single other drama in recent years that used music as effectively as FIREFLY. Why was Edmondson not brought on board to score the movie? There's nothing particularly wrong with Newman's score... but that's the best I can say about it. It's just kind of there. Meh. There were a lot of bold choices made in bringing FIREFLY to the big screen... it's a shame somebody wimped out on the music. If you want the real music of the SERENITY universe, wait until next month and buy the FIREFLY soundtrack (which, btw, should have been released long before now).
