Wow! Such a good movie.

A Disappointing Continuation

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

I'll review this film as someone who has seen the sole Firefly season, a show I did like and appreciate like I do with every Whedon creation at some point, for amazing dialogues and great character interaction, as well as the great stories. I particularly liked the wild space frontier aspect and the presence of Morena Baccarin in a deep, subtle role. She doesn't have much to shine about here, alas.This movie represents Whedon's passage from TV, where he mastered all tropes, to cinema, where he was a relative newcomer, and it shows in the rather harduous work of tempo, and compression of events. After the series, there must have been a hundred subplots lying here and there, that ended on the cutting floor, and for which quick decisions have been taken. As a result, the movie is lacking in relation with the season's subtility and pace, ending up more butter than bread.Action scenes, better visuals and fast relations (that doesn't make make obvious sense to those who didn't followed Firefly) have taken over slow personality tuning and unspoken feelings, while the scope of the their world is also quite reduced. It is a pleasant experience, by all means, but I personally would have preferred an extre season, obviously.Just another comment to say how Nathan Fillion, who I thought was miscast in Firefly, litterally carries the whole show on his shoulders here, playing a character that's hard to like and yet for which we care about - that's no small feat, and all to his credit.

Some films are just utterly sympathetic. This is one of those. It's a great adventure flick. Not pretentious or deep, but most certainly not ahallow or cheap. Well made, well acted a perfect balance between style and substance. I love this film. When I forst saw it, it charmed my butt off, and now, ten years later, having seen it for the second time, it is just as amusing and nice. If you want to be entertained by quality, this is your movie.

Serenity is one of the greatest sci-fi movie of all times. But beware! It is full of complementary value for audience that was fan of Firefly serie. Firefly serie production was interrupted without any end, actually broadcast stopped in mid-season. So this movie stands as full of answers for questions that you wouldn't know if you do not watch serie prior.World of Firefly? Just mix Fallout - Madmax and Startrek. One of the best environment and political system that you wish to imagine yourself. This movie gives it all. Just listen to my words, to enjoy this masterpiece, catch-up with Firefly. It is another masterpiece that you will cry since its production cut in half, at 14th episode of first season...

If someone would ask me my favorite scifi movie, I would name this one first. I never saw the Firefly series, so came in without any knowledge about the Wheeldon universe. But you don't need to, the movie is on itself and an unbelievable masterpiece. No doubt the Firefly series has honed the characters, they are well developed, sharp and witty. You can sense the chemistry. Every line they speak makes sense, every scene is a joy to watch. The story and plot will leave you breathless. Even if you are not into scifi, this is a movie you will love.
