Serenity (Widescreen Edition)

I'm not a big sci-fi fan, and I never watched the TV show upon which this movie was based. A good friend twisted my arm--almost physically--and convinced me to give this movie a chance. I finally popped in the DVD yesterday and...Wow!

"Serenity" is what so many other movies try to be. It's clever, campy, witty, fun, thrilling, while also throwing in tidbits of social and religious commentary. From universe-shaking conspiracies, to clairvoyance, to good old swashbuckling adventure, this is an entertaining movie. The plot's been told enough times here, but suffice it to say that imagination runs high and the characters each have their own distinct personalities and purposes. This is storytelling in all its wild-eyed, woolly-haired fun, and I'm sorry I didn't jump on board "Serenity" sooner.

I learned about the show Firefly on an online forum for Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles and then watch the TV series on Hulu. I loved the show so decided to get the movie. WOW, this is just like the TV show but 100 times better. Best Scifi movie of the new century.

This movie is simply amazing. Based off of the not so well known cult hit "Firefly", this movie continues the story that that prematurely canceled series was never able to. To those of us who loved the series this movie is a treasure. Joss is a masterful storyteller who has created such depth and realism for all of the beloved characters that it really pulls you in, and the special features and commentaries give it excellent replay value. I would suggest this movie to anyone looking for a solid, fun movie.

This was a farewell from Joss Whedon to the fans of Firefly. It was not received well at the theaters because it was for such a nitch market but the film itself was excellent, with a wonderfully paced story, great and furious action, and evenly paced character development. This film had all the elements. Keeping well in step with the series, Serenity just showed us why Firefly needed to be picked up by another network. Unfortunately it wasn't but this film was a great send off - Thanks Joss

I love Firefly to death and Serenity collector's edition is just a beautiful edition to my dvd collection. More features then the first dvd (I own that one as well), a well made and easy on the eyes dvd case and the extended scenes a bit is just fantastic. A must own for any hardcore Firefly nut.
