Serenity offers perfect proof that Firefly deserved a better fate than premature TV cancellation. 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

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Future Cult Classic!!!!!!
I bought the Firefly series and then Serenity to complete the story. It makes me sad that this is all we will ever get of Firefly.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Movie, Great Series!
This movie is the final chapter and validation of a great television series that was cancelled too soon. Alas, a strong fan base was able to convince producers to bring this wonderful story of frontierspeople against the mega-military-industrial-society complex to the big screen. Best viewed after watching the entire “Firefly” series to understand the context, but also stands alone as a entertaining movie. I actually watched the movie before the series myself, but later watched the series and … Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Buy the collector’s edition, maybe they’ll bring back the series…
I’m buying the collectors edition. Maybe if enough people do so, they’ll bring the TV series back!!

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Sci Fi at it’s Best
We recently stumbled upon Firefly via an Amazon special. Absolutely first rate and we had to see the movie based on this (regretably) short lived TV series (same actors). We were not disappointed. Characters have depth, complex social interactions and engage in shoot ‘em ups in space and on the ground. I know many other people have said it, but it’s worth repeating. This is well worth watching.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - This is a good movie, fairly difficult to find.
I began looking for “Serenity” after I rented the entire “Firefly” series. I was beginning to feel frustrated because in my small town all we have is a Wal-Mart and they don’t carry “Serenity.” It was very convenient to pop online and order “Serenity.” It arrived in about a week. The case was a little dented, but it was still wrapped in the celophane and the disk plays perfectly, so no worries, right?
