Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Why the amazing reviews? I had to turn off after about 20 minutes! watched The Simpson instead.

I stay late tonight to watch this. I really regret now. If I have a time machine, I will go back to tell me that I should go to bed at 8 PM. and don't waste my time for this one. The plot is none sense. It does not suit people who love Nolan's films. The action scenes and CG are not good.

I'll be honest. I never liked Firefly. I found many of the episodes dull and lifeless, the characters caricatures of old western characters. The best episode was the finale where the bounty hunter tries to get River. Then came Serenity. It's one of my favorite movies. The cast really puts it together, the story is great. The enemy, the nameless agent is one of the best semi-villains ever on cinema. I regret the deaths in it and still wish for a sequel, but this movie hits it out of the park. Fruity-Oaty bars, Jayne wishing he HAD SOME GRENADES, River kicking ass in the bar (look for a hand weapon from Babylon 5), the entire finale battle AND Joss's wink at the fans, C-57-D (the cruiser from forbidden planets registration number) shows up quite often. And lets not forget Mr. Universe. Just a great movie from what to me, was a very average TV series.

While watching the "Firefly" TV series, I was only so-so about the show after the first couple episodes. Then it started growing on me and by the end I was really drawn into the characters. That is the same basic pattern, ironically enough, for this follow-up movie "Serenity"...starting up slow but building momentum with every passing scene.For a basic plot summary, "Serenity" sees Mal (Nathan Fillion) and his crew "still flying". The focus this time is on River Tam (Summer Glau), who is being pursued by an operative of the Alliance (Chiwetel Ejiofor). Along the way, Mal & Co. have in a few rough scrapes, learn much more about the psychotic Revers, and ultimately make a decision that will define their overall mission.Half-way through "Serenity", I was thoroughly unimpressed and thinking a 2-star review would be in order. The characters seemed different from where the TV show left off and I was having a difficult time meshing the two things together. Of course, Joss Whedon was given a very difficult assignment here by having to introduce a new audience to already-established characters. So, for more season "Firefly" viewers, the first hour seems a bit disjointed and strange.The last 45 minutes or so, though, are truly incredible and showcase everything that is good about the entire "Firefly" concept. The characters come together and begin interacting as a team again, the humor is at the right pitch, and the gritty nature of the future is never more apparent. What was very much a middling effort is turned into a great cinematic experience in the span of just under an hour.Though "Firefly" was never given a true send-off from FOX (instead being cancelled just when it seemed things were getting good), "Serenity" provides a very nice coda to such a well-written, well-imagined series. The character "re-development" is a bit strange, but once things settle down this flick tells one of the better "Firefly" stories in the show's canon.
