Whats not to love, catchup with the crew of the Firefly class ship 'Serenity' 3 years after the the now much loved TV show ended. Follow this rag-tag, loveable crew on a new adventure set directly after the events of Episode 14 'Objects in Space'. The script itself is based on ideas that were orginally planned for Season 2 (which of course never happened) instead the film now sets to answer all the unanswered questions, fans had from the first season and what can I say, Joss Whedon has done another magnifcent job and Serenity makes you realise how much you loved Firefly. Watch, enjoy and fall in love with the characters and Serenity herself.

Too few and very far between, really good Science Fiction is hard to come by these days. Thank God we have people like Josh Whedon who not only delivered one of my all time favorite TV-series but also gave us Serenity...one of my favorite movies of the last couple of decades.

The whole setting (Space Western if you can believe it), the music, the characters, the story, are almost perfect. I sure can't think of another movie that keeps me so engaged rewatch after rewatch.

If you haven't seen it...take my word for it...you have missed something. Most people that enjoy good storytelling will like this one even if they don't particularly enjoy sci-fi.

Did I mention I love this movie?!!?

This movies sans "big name stars" and "massive hype" is 1 of the 10 best sci-fi films I've evr seen. I love the subtle intensity that hyperventilates with each act of violence or epiphany.

This was a consolation prize for those who loved the FIREFLY TV series and mourned it's untimely demise due to gross mishandling by the network. Great movie. Would have been better as a TV series. But, I'm grateful to see at least some recompense paid to the fans. The additions to the cast were top notch. The CGI was good. The writing was superb. [spoiler] EPIC fight scene(s) with RIver[/spoiler]. As this is at least the third time I've watched it (I own both a digital and DVD copy), you can understand that I would rate it 10 (superb) out of 10. [Space Western]

I watched this way back when solely because I thought it might contain some visual fireworks. I was not disappointed because the CGI was among the best I'd seen at that time. The outer space shots of ships and space battles was nearly breathtaking. The actual story and characters though, were pretty run-of-the-mill. Specifically, the character River. How come no one just shoots her from a distance instead of facing up with her; waiting for her to lay waste to them Bruce-Lee-style?

Captain Mal was an interesting character but nothing original. After seeing this movie, I read some rave reviews that bordered on "Greatest Movie Ever" praise. I must have missed something. It was good, but certainly not great.

Play director and think of a midpoint between quiet anxiety of the cult classic "Forbidden Planet (1956) and the driving rage of "Aliens" with Sigourney Weaver. Voila! Easily one of the 5 best sci-fi of all time.

I watched Serenity before firefly. thought Serenity was amazing. watched firefly later and loved it which made me love this movie even more. just watched this movie for the 5th or 6th time 10 years after originally watching it and still love it the same. such a good movie. you serenity/firefly haters(few as they are) take it somewhere else because these reviews read like a fan page and you're bringin down my nostalgia for this franchise. Joss Whedon Rules!!!!!!!

Better than the show. The show waltzed around way too much talking about stupid bullshit and I honestly didn't even like a majority of the characters in the show. The movie format forced Whedon to condense the story down to a more interesting format with no unnecessary crap thrown in for the purpose of expanding the time and it didn't allow for him to showcase his unlikeable characters as much as he would like to.

I don't know the series this film was based on, but it turned out to be quite entertaining, the space ships and space battles were quite impressive and the whole story was rather engrossing, also the characters were interesting and not one-dimensional. I am not much into sci-fi and prefer fantasy, but on the whole I enjoyed the film, though certainly people familiar with the original TV show can get much more out of it. From what I understand about it, the film is some kind of iconic movie for science fiction fans, so I am glad that I am now familiar with it. Some sequences were reminiscent of "Doctor Who" or it might have been the other way round.

Sadly when people reference Whedon's previous work they say either (pre-Avengers) Buffy or Angel or both hardly does Firefly gets dropped. Serenity is a continuation of that television show which was a diamond in the rough. Even though this film was based off a television show that only ran 11 episodes on FOX before it was pulled, Serenity is actually a decent entertaining film that can rival most other Sci-Fi films out there. This film was humorous and thrilling at the same time. The plot of the film which helped tie lose ends of the television series was original and entertaining to follow and the cast were all excellent. Fillion is the best!

Hard to believe this is 15 years old. It’s time for more, finally. Though, Whedon enjoys killing characters too much. Some deaths in this were unnecessary.

What the hell was this psuedoHorror-SuicideSquad-StarBattle-ZombieApocalypse thing.
Almost none of the original "Firefly feeling" was kept.
I get that it was a wrapping up movie but man: the doc loses all his sweetness, River fully morphs into what she was turned into, no jokes, no camraderie, (almost) no Preacher, no Zoe-Wash / Kaylee-Doc / Inara-Mal moments, no Jayne goofing around..
Same names but basically the dark Serenity crew cousins.

I'll treasure my Firefly memories and leave it at that.

p.s. Kaylee gearing it up to survive and stay with Simone, glad I saw that

@lumaestri I think it was more of less seasons 2 and 3 crammed into a single movie.
