Serenity

As a huge fan of the TV show, which was aburptly cut before it's time by Fox, I loved Serenity. It's serious when it should be, hilarious to make you laugh at moments, with great, memorable and well thought out characters and some fun action tossed in for good measure you really can't go wrong. Admittedly it appears to be a generic sci-fi movie but it's so much more. Definitely give this one a chance and pick up the Firefly TV series if you enjoy it.

While missing a little of the zazz that made the series utterly fantastic this movie is a great culmination of this wonderful story.

Every bit as good as any Star Wars movie, and better than most of them. At the time, I hadn't yet seen all the "Firefly" episodes but I never felt like I was lost, nor did I think the movie wasted too much time getting the non-fans up to speed. It's remarkably economical storytelling, squeezing in a hell of a lot of action, drama, mystery and comedy into its 2 hour running time. It's fast, funny, and sucks you right in. I laughed, I cried, I wanted more.

By doing the impossible, and turning a cancelled television series into a major motion picture, creator/director/writer, Joss Whedon has proven his might. Serenity has a completely original style and flare that makes it an incredible end/revival for the brilliant sci-fi/western series, Firefly. Even without seeing the show it would be a lot of fun, but if you were a fan of Firefly, then this movie is very fulfilling. Awesome!

Having just watched Firefly, a unique show that was egregiously cancelled, I enjoyed this film immensely. I became an immediate fan of the story, and my only wish was that the film lasted more than 2 hours, for I feel some characters didn't get enough screen time (Inara, Shepherd). Still, Serenity is a one of kind sci fi, filled with some lovable and witty characters, and who knew this genre would mix so well with the western one... A film and tv show not to be missed, thank you Joss Whedon!
