Serenity
The Feature Film Sequel to the TV Series Firefly
A passenger with a deadly secret. Six rebels on the run. An assassin in pursuit. When the renegade crew of Serenity agrees to hide a fugitive on their ship, they find themselves in an action-packed battle between the relentless military might of a totalitarian regime who will destroy anything - or anyone - to get the girl back and the bloodthirsty creatures who roam the uncharted areas of space. But, the greatest danger of all may be on their ship. From the mind of Joss Whedon (TV's Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel) comes a new edge-of-your-seat adventure loaded with explosive battles, gripping special effects and fantastic new worlds!

This movie was a great end to the t.v series firefly. I LOVE the series, and am incredibly dissapointed that they quit it!! However, this movie is a reasonably good ending, and gives justice to the earlier episodes.(i'm not saying this is like an episode, just compairing it to them). I watched this before i watched the tv series, and i liked serenity so much, that when i heard there was more, i had to see it! This 'space western' as some are calling it, is unique to the bone, and definitely worth watching! The t.v. series 'farscape' is slightly the same theme: space, good guys(rebells) vs. bad guy(law), however from what i've watched of it so far, it is very different, and i prefer firefly to it any day....*sigh*...but as you can only watch fire fly and serenity so many times, it'll have to do!Great series tie up - HarveyPooka
Serenity is a well done sequel movie catering to fans of the short lived Firefly series, and to new viewers. It's hard to balance the need to tie up loose ends from for an established fan base and have a movie that would be understandable to non-fans alike. This movie does an amazing job of both. Good action, dry dark humour, and a surprising twist at the end for fans of the show.I Accept Your Apology Fox - Arkanok
Being a huge fan of the TV series Firefly, I was disappointed to see the show get cancelled. It was a terrible mistake by Fox; however, this movie is their form of an apology, and Fox, I accept your apology.
This movie has everything that a fan of Firefly would want: Great action sequences, a healthy does of humor, and a more than adequate story-line. On the other hand, for someone that hasn't seen the tv series Firefly prior to this movie, you can still find something to like. Although, I admit, you may not have the same appreciation for it that a fan would have -- it's just good to have the whole backstory to the flick first.
For those who have not seen the series Firefly yet, but are thinking of watching this movie, I suggest renting the first and only season of Firefly first. But if you really want to see this without seeing Firefly first, you shouldn't have a problem following what's going on, but like I said in the second paragraph, you may not understand everything or have the same level of appreciation for it had you watched Firefly first.
