September 21, 2009A much awaited film version of a great little TV series, unfairly axed before its time. Joss Whedon fought long and hard for it to come back and for a series of films, so it?s baffling then that when he did, he *Spoilers* killed off a couple of the best characters. If it does com...( read more)

April 16, 2009"So, no more runnin'. I aim to misbehave."
"Firefly", a series created by Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel) is and was the best show that never got the chance it deserved. Only 14 episodes, of which all weren't even aired, were made and then the series got cancelled....( read more) -
April 10, 2009It's just flat-out spectacular. A mind-blasting good time. A masterpiece. Director and creator, Joss Whedon has crafted a new breed of adventure from his classic short-lived tv series, Firefly. A tremdously entertaining, nail-biting and thrilling instant sci-fi classic. A hip, fu...( read more)

December 26, 2008One of the best films, played out in one of the most luxuriously rich worlds ever created by mortal minds. Why, oh why, didn't Firefly make it past one season? Acting was some of the best I've ever seen.

September 7, 2008Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: [on the ship's intercom] This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then...explode.
Born out of the canceled TV series 'Firefly', even without seeing the show this can be a very e...( read more) -

how are you?i hope you are fine.may be you know me ?Khalid from pakistan -
November 17, 2009Not bad. A nice visual aesthetic, but the plot was a little thin and the acting was a little stiff. Kind of like watching a Sci-Fi channel movie, which would explain why the original show was cancelled.

November 16, 2009this is the finale to the most under rated show ever, Firefly..I suggest that you watch the series first, only then does this movie become as good as it actually is....this show launched alot of careers and should have never been cancelled, but the movie does tie up some of the l...( read more)

November 15, 2009I agree with my brother, Nathan Fillion is Han Solo reincarnate. I love this movie so much. It's like a sci fi Western with fantastic dialogue and great performances. If one good thing came out of the failure of the Firefly series it is this movie. But, just out of interest, Amer...( read more)

November 12, 2009This movie is great Sc-Fi space cowboys. It is the conclusion to the TV series Firefly, witch is amazing. If you have not seen the series I would have to say the movie would only be a 4 out of 5 but still more than worth seeing.

Serenity is so like TV that it ought to come with a clicker so we can switch over to the next movie at the multiplex. full review

David Edelstein, Slate
I mean Serenity no disrespect when I say it's enjoyably junky. full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
Serenity is a trim little picture of epic proportions. full review
September 29, 2005
Edward Havens, FilmJerk.com
Can proudly be placed alongside "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Blade Runner" as one of the best science-fiction movies of modern cinema. full review
September 29, 2005
Claudia Puig, USA Today
Though diehard fans probably will take issue, Serenity is mostly sci-fi silliness attempting to be something more substantive. full review
September 29, 2005
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
A kicky mix of space-movie mayhem and cowboy-movie corn. full review
September 29, 2005
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
The cast, a handful of sarcastic, working-stiff interstellar outlaws, is a magnetic bunch, turning the clichés of sci-fi adventure inside out. full review
September 29, 2005
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Serenity is made of dubious but energetic special effects, breathless velocity, much imagination, some sly verbal wit and a little political satire. full review

March 24, 2008I think it's because it was just in the water. I'm not sure though, I'll have to watch it again. Did they say it was released into the air?
-
February 3, 2008someone tell me why they didn't turn into reavers or die? because they landed on the planet that contained the same atmosphere that caused that effect on the people before...

October 22, 2007We're tryin' for another one, folks!! Let's get into this with all we have.

Campaign to get a Serenity Sequal!!

Okay, folks, we have an address to send the wavecards to for the Wavecards for a Sequel Camapaign:
Universal Pictures
100 Universal City Plaza
Universal City, CA 91608
Just send them to Universal, without worrying about adding an Attn line.
Just a reminder, the Blue Sun Travel Wavecards are on sale at a
discount from QMx:
http://www.quantummechanix.com/Blue%20Sun%20Travel%20Wavecards.html
And finally, let's remember why we're doing this:
First off, timing. We know Universal is on the verge of greenlighting
the Big Damn Sequel.
Second off, Universal Licensed Products. In the film industry, money
talks, so by sending these wavecards, which are official licensed
products, we're putting money in Universal's pocket and underscoring
the potential for lots more profit.
Third, this time, we're all behind it. Only you can make sure that we
do the impossible—again. When all the Browncoats stand united,
there's not a power in the 'Verse that can stop us.
Fourth, it's fun! A lot of Browncoat groups are getting together to
throw card-writing Shindigs! Get together with your crew to make this
a blast!
Let's make it happen, folks,
Cedric

July 10, 2007Check out this web sight. www.can'tstoptheserenity.com. (which seems to be down at the moment.) The last two years they have done charity showings of Serenity on Joss's birthday. Last count this year had them at over 98,000 for Equality Now.
Also check on ebay, Joss has several auctions going right now. Including a private dinner with Joss himself. All for charity.
update, the 5 seats for dinner with Joss went for 9500 at the lowest and 11200 for the highest,. -
June 23, 2007This is one of the best movies I have ever seen, the fight scenes in it are less of an actual battle but more of a dance.
The main characters have excelent depth in personality, and some an almost terrifying calmness, to name a couple Chiwetel Ejiofor who played the bounty hunter, and Summer Glau who played "River Tam".
The final fight sequence is THE best fight sequence I have ever seen in a movie, in a brief instant River goes from helpless child to emotionless weapon flawlessly and gracefully cutting down reavers.
Also the ideas in this film are totally unique as there has never been a film quite like it, and the mass fleet battles grippingly ingenius.
Great work Joss Whedon :) -
June 21, 2007Joss is my God and Serenity is awesome! I wish Joss was still writing Wonder Woman I was looking foreward to watching it.

June 14, 2007if you had seen 'firefly' before you saw 'serenity' then you would have felt something from their deaths. and there wasnet much character development because they were already built up enough from firefly.
otherwise, a brilliant film; but left a lot of things unanswered. such as book's past and who the hell the blue handed guys were.
overall rating: AWSOME!! -
June 12, 2007when i bought this i had no idea it was based on a tv series because frankly if i did i would never even have considered picking the thing up however in my ignorance i bought the movie and regardless what it was based on it is good sci fi action film the dialouge is golden and the fight scenes are pretty good too the ending was a bit of a disappointment and the lack of character development meant when some1 died u didnt realy care still though it was good
-
June 5, 2007cant wait to hear wotanravens opinion after he sees then understands brilliance of the One Film to rule them all.
