Joss Whedon's acclaimed sci-fi Western hybrid series was ideally suited (in Browncoats, of course) for a big-screen conversion, and this action-packed adventure allows Whedon to fill in the Firefly backstory, especially the history and mystery of the spaceship Serenity's volatile and traumatized stowaway, River Tam (Summer Glau). Her lethal skills as a programmed "weapon" makes her a coveted prize for the power-hungry planetary Alliance, represented here by an Operative (Chiwetel Ejiofor) who'll stop at nothing to retrieve River from Serenity's protective crew. We still get all the quip-filled dialogue and ass-kicking action that we've come to expect from the creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but Whedon goes a talented step further here, blessing his established ensemble cast with a more fully-developed dynamic of endearing relationships. Serenity's cast is led with well-balanced depth and humor by Nathan Fillion as Captain Mal Reynolds, whose maverick spirit is matched by his devotion to crewmates Wash (Alan Tudyk), Zoe (Gina Torres), fun-loving fighter Jayne (Adam Baldwin), engineer Kaylee (Jewel Staite), doctor Simon (Sean Maher), and Mal's former flame Inara (Morena Baccarin), who plays a pivotal role in Whedon's briskly-paced plot. As many critics agreed, Serenity offered all the fun and breezy excitement that was missing from George Lucas's latter-day Star Wars epics, and Whedon leaves an opening for a continuing franchise that never feels cheap or commercially opportunistic. With the mega-corporate mysteries of Blue Sun yet to be explored, it's a safe bet we haven't seen the last of the good ship Serenity. --Jeff Shannon Customer Reviews: Showing reviews 1-5 of 1633 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...327Next » One of my Favorite Films   September 8, 2010 M. R. Byrne (west palm beach, FL) This movie is excellent. As everyone before me has pointed out, it continues where Firefly the TV series left off, SO BUY THAT AND WATCH IT FIRST!!! Like nearly every reviewer previous to me, even with a film like this to tie up most of the loose ends the series was left with, I STILL WANT MORE! PS. There is a fan-made film called Browncoats: Redemption available for order on DVD. Just google it. Apparently it's supposed to be excellent as far as fan-fiction goes, and takes place shortly after this film. My copy is in the mail as we speak, so i'm pretty geeked out about being able to immerse myself in the 'Verse again. Very satisfying movie   September 4, 2010 Jane (USA) After over 1,200 five star reviews I am pressed to say something unique about Joss Whedon's 'Serenity'. Fantastic movie that followed a wonderful sci-fi western called 'Firefly'. The crime is that 'Firefly' was discontinued after eleven episodes, not unlike the 'Babylon 5' off-shoot, 'Crusade'(another show that did not get the run it deserved). As others have said, 'Serenity' transcends genre and is an emotional, visual and operatic treat. A rare and unique gem in sci-fi movie adventure. It's a complete picture and does not require that you've seen the show, although there are plenty of treats for 'Firefly' fans. Collector's edition has a nice enclosure, some great extras and scenes, including some interviews. Overall, a fun movie with great characters that you will watch again and again. Serenity the movie in reveiw   August 23, 2010 thomas e siverson II Almost as good as star trek. The future is up to us if we put money and support to nasa and keep upgrading tech we will soon have tech like this. This shows the darker side of humanty. Overall good movie. Firefly- The Series   August 22, 2010 Lynne Pelletier (Astoria, Or. USA) I can't remember when I've enjoyed a series as much as this. I never saw anything advertised for Firefly on TV???? What's up with that? I was just browsing Netflix and saw this staring one of my favorite actors Nathan Filian (I Love Castle) so rented it. To my utter surprise, I fell in love with the movie/series and all of the characters. I am so surprised that this show got cut because it has all the right stuff....action, adventure, comedy, love etc. Not to mention that all the actors are superb in their rolls. I bought the Series and then a friend told me about the "Serenity" movie.....well I now own that too. Wish it hadn't ended so quickly, I want to know what happened next!!!! f.han   August 16, 2010 F. Chan (Dallas, Tx) If you liked Firefly you may love this movie or you may not love this movie. I loved Firefly and I loved this movie. My recommendation, watch Firefly first and then watch the movie. My husband was a Firefly fan and I was skeptical because I'm not a huge sci-fi lover, but both Firefly and Serenity were awesome! Great story! Really artistic! Great characters! Great acting! I really loved both! Again, buy Firefly first and watch the series...then by Serenity. You'll be glad you did! Showing reviews 1-5 of 1633 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...327Next »
