Description
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 (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel) comes a new edge-of-your-seat adventure loaded with explosive battles, gripping special effects and fantastic new worlds.
Serenity offers perfect proof that Firefly deserved a better fate than premature TV cancellation. Joss Whedon's acclaimed sci-fi Western hybrid series was ideally suited (in Browncoats, of course) for a big-screen conversion, and this action-packed adventure allows Whedon to fill in the Firefly backstory, especially the history and mystery of the spaceship Serenity's volatile and traumatized stowaway, River Tam (Summer Glau). Her lethal skills as a programmed "weapon" makes her a coveted prize for the power-hungry planetary Alliance, represented here by an Operative (Chiwetel Ejiofor) who'll stop at nothing to retrieve River from Serenity's protective crew. We still get all the quip-filled dialogue and ass-kicking action that we've come to expect from the creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but Whedon goes a talented step further here, blessing his established ensemble cast with a more fully-developed dynamic of endearing relationships. Serenity's cast is led with well-balanced depth and humor by Nathan Fillion as Captain Mal Reynolds, whose maverick spirit is matched by his devotion to crewmates Wash (Alan Tudyk), Zoe (Gina Torres), fun-loving fighter Jayne (Adam Baldwin), engineer Kaylee (Jewel Staite), doctor Simon (Sean Maher), and Mal's former flame Inara (Morena Baccarin), who plays a pivotal role in Whedon's briskly-paced plot. As many critics agreed, Serenity offered all the fun and breezy excitement that was missing from George Lucas's latter-day Star Wars epics, and Whedon leaves an opening for a continuing franchise that never feels cheap or commercially opportunistic. With the mega-corporate mysteries of Blue Sun yet to be explored, it's a safe bet we haven't seen the last of the good ship Serenity. --Jeff Shannon

Summary: Firefly- The Series
I can't remember when I've enjoyed a series as much as this. I never saw anything advertised for Firefly on TV???? What's up with that? I was just browsing Netflix and saw this staring one of my favorite actors Nathan Filian (I Love Castle) so rented it. To my utter surprise, I fell in love with the movie/series and all of the characters. I am so surprised that this show got cut because it has all the right stuff....action, adventure, comedy, love etc. Not to mention that all the actors are superb in their rolls. I bought the Series and then a friend told me about the "Serenity" movie.....well I now own that too. Wish it hadn't ended so quickly, I want to know what happened next!!!!

If you liked Firefly you may love this movie or you may not love this movie. I loved Firefly and I loved this movie. My recommendation, watch Firefly first and then watch the movie. My husband was a Firefly fan and I was skeptical because I'm not a huge sci-fi lover, but both Firefly and Serenity were awesome! Great story! Really artistic! Great characters! Great acting! I really loved both! Again, buy Firefly first and watch the series...then by Serenity. You'll be glad you did!

Summary: Greatest movie ever made
This is an incredible film that takes off where the ill-fated television series left off. Many questions are answered from the series. I just can't believe there hasn't been a sequel.

Summary: A Near Perfect End to the Perfect Show
For those of you who are not aware, Serenity is a film that serves as the conclusion to Joss Whedon's sci-fi television series, Firefly. Firefly was a phenomenal show that ended well before its time. Patrons of show, like myself, were left wanting more after watching the 14th and final episode. Serenity was the answer to those prayers. Whedon tied off many of the loose ends with the film that were left open after the conclusion of Firefly. However, Serenity is also a great stand-alone movie as well. Whedon had enough foresight to add plenty exposition for viewers who were not familiar with the television series, giving them just as much of a chance to enjoy the film. The CGI was also stepped up from the series, making the action sequences that much more entertaining. Serenity is an amazing film that I would recommend to anyone looking for an excellent way to spend a couple hours. My one and only gripe however is plot related so *SPOILER ALERT*, the captain STILL doesn't get together with Anara. Seriously Whedon, Simon and Kaylee finally but not Mal and Anara?!?! The biggest loose end remains untied...FOREVER.
