Description
Beloved television cult director Joss Whedon (BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, ANGEL) makes a spectacular first foray onto the big screen with SERENITY, the cinematic adaptation of his wildly popular but short-lived sci-fi series, FIREFLY. A mix of space western, comedy, and drama, SERENITY follows captain Malcolm "Mal" Reynolds (Nathan Fillion) and his ragtag crew as they trade their way around the edges of civilized society. Of particular interest are two passengers they take on, Simon and River Tam (Sean Maher, Summer Glau), a brother and his telepathic sister on the run from the corrupt governing Alliance. As notorious former members of the anti-Alliance opposition, Mal and his crew make it difficult for Simon and River to stay hidden. Everything goes completely awry when a government assassin is sent to retrieve River. As Mal is forced to choose between his close-knit crew and the brother and sister newcomers, it becomes apparent that River harbors both a dangerous secret and astounding fighting powers, and Mal decides that discovering the truth about what she knows might just be worth his time.Many of the film's action sequences revolve around Summer Glau's martial arts skills in her portrayal of River. Glau prepared for her role with Hong Kong stuntwoman Ming Lu, as well as stunt coordinators Chad Stahelski and Hiro Koda, and as a resulted performed nearly all the stuntwork herself. In addition to the stellar stunts, realistic graphics, and an often haunting score, the film's actors display a rare chemistry that brings viewers both into their lives and into a possible version of humanity's future.

Strengths: The story line provides enough informtaion to bring new fans in without disappointing the existing ones or dragging the story into a slow crawl. All the irony, sarcasm and humor are intact.
Weakness: Poor timing of release at theater.
Actually saw this in an earlier less finished at on of the fan viewings ad was overjoyed to see. Very happy with this item. Only wish they had chosen a week with fewer big releases going on and that people had just realized what a gem this is.
Strengths: Great Cast, of course! They all return for the film and it's a great one! Strong Story, full of surprises. It kept me interested start to the credits!
Weakness: If your not familiar with the show, it may be a bit hard to catch on but not too bad.
This movie is amazing! Great visuals and an awesome script keep you guessing. I love the cast of this film as well. They have a great ensemble quality that really meshes well. The writing is stellar, and the actors really bring the script to life. It's nice to see the characters again and see what they've been up to. I can't wait for the DVD!!! It's a must see!!!
Serenity
Strengths: Everything.
Weakness: It ended.
This movie has it all; laughs, action, drama. You fall in love with this cast from the first frame, and hate to see the movie end when it does. There are parts that shocked me when I fisrt saw this movie. Well acted, good F.X. Star Wars and Star Trek can't hold a candle to this movie. See the FireFly DVD series before you see this movie, as it explains alot of background information you dont get...
