Serenity was originally a television show on the FOX network back in the early 2002-2003 era. It was created by Josh Whedon. It ran for one season before stupid executives for FOX cut it from their lineup. One of the dumbest, moronic things I've seen from executives who have their heads up their asses.The show is original and provides a fantastic cast. It has great writing for the scripts of the television show and as well, the movie. The special effects are good enough, but not the best. The plots are solid. The dialog filled with one liners. Minor love interests. Action. A conclusion which is left unfinished and unfortunately will never have a proper ending.The movie does have some issues but them are minor and don't break the viewers ability to suspend reality to enjoy the show or movie. Space cowboy/rebels left over from a Civil War attempting to make a living on the outskirts of space away from the government which is corrupt and dominating.There is a lot of unsolved and resolved issues in the story but with this movie and the series you get enough of the picture to know what is going on with the characters and their past.Eveyone should enjoy this movie except for the kids. There is some violence and blood in the movie and there is also a lot of adult themes.Overall I rate this as one of the better movies in my collection. It makes my top 25 movie list.

Mal, the captain of Serenity carries on his ship a very special girl. River, a young psychic who has been trained by the Alliance as a human weapon, was rescued by her brother and thus she represents the number one target for a merciless assassin, sent specifically to get rid of "the evidence". Although she is perceived as a threat by the crew, she will prove to be a priceless key in unveiling a disturbing secret, kept safe at all costs by the Alliance.It's a dramatic story filled with action and shooting while its complex characters contribute decisively to a wonderful atmosphere. You become connected to the events, start to care about the captain, River with her troubled life and the others. The action is pretty spectacular, at one point I started wondering if I was actually seeing The Matrix in space. It definitely looks great for its time although the effects are not groundbreaking. It made me enjoy it from one end to the other, it surprised me with its story and course of events and it thrilled me with its characters. A must see!

At first I was put off by the trailer - to watch it is to believe that "Serenity" is full of martial arts and punches to the face. That's actually just a part of this. This is a smart, funny and campy sci-fi space opera that can touch your heart. Loved it all except Mal's enunciation - had to rewind over and over again because he mumbles so badly. It's probably a low-budget thing, and I get it that the "outlander" rebel speak some 19th-century dialect. But the dude just plain mumbles his lines. Otherwise, a stellar film! Sci-fi classic.

Ladies and menfolk, we have ourselves one hell of a good movie!If you don't feel motivated to do something with your life after you watch Serenity, then you need to watch it again. This is THE movie for Firefly fans that encapsulates the energy, feel, witty humor and total badass-ery that is the Firefly universe. The story fills in some of the mystery left from the TV show, and although there are 2 extremely sad parts of the story, it still makes you want more. The interaction of the characters and the movement of the story lead you through twists and turns with Captain Tight Pants Mal's good humor to accompany your journey. Nothing can take the sky away from these characters. Not even Reavers. Serenity is the religiosity that all us fuzzie-wuzzies need to complete this epic adventure, filled with thrilling heroics. The special effects are as good as the TV show times 10. We FINALLY get to have a look at the Reaver ships up close, and at the inside of what the Alliance did to poor River. This movie will make you want to be manly and impulsive and write nasty letters to Fox for cancelling the show, even thought it's been more than 10 since they killed it. It's just that gorram good.In essence, watch Serenity. Then keep your next 2 days free and clear so that you can binge watch all of Firefly. If you've already watched Firefly, watch it again. You'll never get tired of this shiny story, the ship, the characters or the universe.Keep flying and stay shiny browncoats!
