Masterful Movie

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

We need more diversions like this. Life sucks, let make what we can of it.

It was an amazing experience. The character development, plot, action, scientific accuracy everything was point on. It's a shame a show like this got cancelled and so many petty shows are getting renewed every year, something is definitely wrong.

I loved this show back in the day!!! Things I think everyone would enjoy is that it is character driven the story is great and with all of this Fox canceled it. I attend so many cons through out the year and meet so many Browncoats (Major fans). Even meet a very cool bass player at NAMM that named his bass Serenity. I got to say if you haven't seen it your really missing out on a very good show.

Firefly - it is pretty good, it's just that it's also quite annoying too. It's good because it has a decent premise, it doesn't get preoccupied with gobbledegook, it doesn't have 'hard science' pretentions, it has a space craft interior that looks like it could actually fit in the exterior, it has a cast of good actors and some of the scripting ain't too bad. It's annoying - well because it just falls short of so much of its potential, mostly because it takes the well trodden option whenever the plot hangs on a dichotomy. There's also a bit of problem with the cast, they're great as individuals it's just that, they're just all so bloody pretty I mean take the chicks Gina Torres, Jewel Staite, Summer Glau they're all top notch babes. Then we get to Morena Baccarin... are you kidding me, no one that gorgeous should appear on a television show without a public health warning. What about the guys then, a crown of ruff tuff desperados surely. Er no, what we get is a bunch of male model types, not a broken nose or cauliflower ear in sight.My comment about the plots taking the easy option is also true of the character profiles. Take Inara for instance, she's a courtesan, that is a person who, er... entertains people, mostly men, for financial compensation. Ooh that's a bit risky you may think and while that is true, it's just that her story is steeped in stereotype. There's no attempt at insight into the life of such a character, instead she's envisioned as a high class hooker, see what I mean about unfulfilled potential? Jayne's another character who gets the stereotype treatment, he's the hard man of the outfit, so of course he's an uncouth idiot. Then there's the vicar struggling with his conviction, a troubled war survivor, the wacky oddball who flies the plane (seriously have you actually met any real pilots, they're dullest farts ever).These gripes and a few others aside, I do still quite like firefly so it' a shame that it cancelled, the film Serenity - well it's kind of okay, it's just that the continuity with the series seems tenuous on occasion.
