MCT:May 3, 2008Spectacular. 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, funny and action-packed thrill-ride. The story is brilliant and the excitement is non-stop. The most original film in years. This makes Star Wars look like puppy chow. A great cast of actors who do a an acceptable job. Nathan Fillion gives a breakout performance. A totally enjoyable adventure that you can not get enough of. Awsome action sequeces and great humor. Stunning, thrilling and breathtaking. An unforgettable and exhilerating adreniline-rush.

MCT:May 3, 2008I was really looking forward to this film and I can't say I was disappointed. This is one of the better sci-fi films out there and I will definitely check out the short lived TV series Firefly after this. Also one thing I didn't expect in this film was how good the drama was, I was expecting a kind of Riddick type Sci-fi flick, but instead there is a great story and good acting and the script is pretty solid (except for the choice few lines probably adopted from being used to writing scripts for TV... aka really cheesy). Though that is not to say the action isnt good, some scenes are really kick ass!

MCT:April 27, 2008It was very different from what I thought it'd be. It was good, tense and a little bit funny.
Adam Baldwin and Alan Tudyuk were the ones I recognized from other stuff and they were good ^^
The others did a great performance aswell.
Summer Galu were weird, and why did she looks so scary almost when she fought? x'D
Anyways, good movie if you like sci-fi. -

This is a good movie. Perfectly cast, excellent effects, and characters as unique as the actors who played them. The fight scenes in this movie are less of an actual battle but more of a dance.

I have to seriously wonder, was it FOX's intent to shoot themselves in the foot when they Canceled Firefly?
I had known next to nothing about the show when it was actually on, It had been put on against Farscape which I had already become invested.
But in October of 05, I went to see this movie and instantly wanted more. Because of this I also now own the Firefly Series on DVD and am proud to call myself a Browncoat.
Universal, should you read this, we need at least, AT LEAST, two sequels... -

I never really watched the show, but now that I've seen the move I want the series on dvd! Joss Wedon is awesome. And why not, he made Buffy & Agnel. And gotta love Nathan Filion as Mal & Mr. Baldwin as Jayne. Totally great.

Go Joss! This is a great film, though the series is even better. I'd recommend watching Firefly the TV series before watching this movie... but do it! Do it now! Watch them both!

Blisteringly entertaining and wonderfully unique, Joss Whedon's SERENITY may have been born from a (wrongfully) failed TV series, but is one of the cleverest, crankiest, wittiest, wildest, and most character-driven sci-fi adventures I've ever seen. I love the world it creates, the people who populate that world, and the words that spill out of those peoples' mouths when they're not running away from lunatics or blasting their way through assassins.
Obviously I'm a huge fan of the show, but for all you newbies who've never heard of Firefly, seeing the show is not a must for this movie. Serenity has action, comedy, mystery, adventure, thrills, chills, and a whole lot more. But deep down under the surface slickness and the well-wrought characters, there's a deeply satisfying and thought-provoking foundation of staunch sci-fi storytelling.
Nathan Fillion (Mal) rascally portrays one of the most intriguing, conflicted, and fascinating heroes ever created and the delicate Summer Glau (River Tam) steals scene after scene with her sweetness, her vulnerability, and her amazing ass-kickery.
This movie infuses your classic sci-fi concepts with all sorts of Western motifs, Far East influences, character-based comedy, and just a whole lot of gee-whiz gadgetry. The concept here is that Serenity takes place in the future, inside of a not-too distant solar system. As new colonies pop up on all sorts of planets, some of 'em get absorbed by the alliance and become all gleamy and shining, while the colonies a bit further out are forced to live much like our own forefathers did: In cabins, on horses, and packing revolvers. And just like that: You've got your Western in my Science Fiction ... and it tastes great! -

Un très bon film de science fiction! Très bien réalisé.. l'action et l'histoire est bonne! J'aurai apprécié en savoir un peu plus sur le background de cet univers.

This can't be it...can it? A masterpiece of cinema story-telling and the most perfectly assembled cast in history. Everyone should see this.

Really good Sci-Fi action flick. I thought the idea of the Reavers was a little on the sick and twisted side, but hay you always have to have a bad guys bad guy. The twist in the plot was really catchy and I really liked the ending. Definately recommend this movie.

Awesome. One of my all time favorites now. A pure fun movie with action, laughs, a hard nosed hero, women that can kick ass, and some wild freaky bad guys. Nathan Fillion is the new Han Solo of this generation. And Summer Glau is awesome as River. Quirky and deadly. George Lucas, take note, this is how you make an enjoyable sci-fi adventure film. It puts the new Star Wars flicks to shame.

MCT:March 11, 2008SERENITY (2005)
directed by Joss Whedon
starring Nathan Fillion, Gina Torres, Adam BaldwinSerenity is a sci-fi picture that is very much inspired by older flicks. Like Star Wars its a western in space. If you havent watch the Firefly series you may get confused at first cause the filmmakers seems to decide you have been a fan of the show it was based on.The visual effects are not that great but in the other hand it kinda looks like a TV show which might have been on purpose. There are some funny and cool dialogues all the way through the film but it gets annoying after a while when we dont know if we have to take it seriously or not.
The plot is somehow interresting for a sci-fi film, there are a few cool action scenes but everything seems to be self-righteous which is kinda annoying. Not the greatest fiilm of this genre but still kind of entertaining.
