Serenity offers perfect proof that Firefly deserved a better fate than premature TV cancellation. Joss Whedon's acclaimed sci-fi Western hybrid series was ideally suited (in Browncoats, of course) for a big-screen conversion, and this action-packed adventure allows Whedon to fill in the Firefly backstory, especially the history and mystery of the spaceship Serenity's volatile and traumatized stowaway, River Tam (Summer Glau). Her lethal skills as a programmed "weapon" makes her a coveted prize for the power-hungry planetary Alliance, represented here by an Operative (Chiwetel Ejiofor) who'll stop at nothing to retrieve River from Serenity's protective crew. We still get all the quip-filled dialogue and ass-kicking action that we've come to expect from the creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but Whedon goes a talented step further here, blessing his established ensemble cast with a more fully-developed dynamic of endearing relationships. Serenity's cast is led with well-balanced depth and humor by Nathan Fillion as Captain Mal Reynolds, whose maverick spirit is matched by his devotion to crewmates Wash (Alan Tudyk), Zoe (Gina Torres), fun-loving fighter Jayne (Adam Baldwin), engineer Kaylee (Jewel Staite), doctor Simon (Sean Maher), and Mal's former flame Inara (Morena Baccarin), who plays a pivotal role in Whedon's briskly-paced plot. As many critics agreed, Serenity offered all the fun and breezy excitement that was missing from George Lucas's latter-day Star Wars epics, and Whedon leaves an opening for a continuing franchise that never feels cheap or commercially opportunistic. With the mega-corporate mysteries of Blue Sun yet to be explored, it's a safe bet we haven't seen the last of the good ship Serenity. --Jeff Shannon

A Favorite Gets Even Better! January 29, 2010
A. Gill (Annapolis, MD United States)
The Firefly TV series was one of the best and died a very untimely death. Hopefully it will be resurrected by one of the cables. And of course Serenity is a truly great movie that stands by itself even if you've never seen the series. But it will make you want to see the series.
Anyway, back to the Blu-Ray. We had the normal DVD and it was good. Before we saw the Blu-Ray we thought the regular DVD was great. Now we know it was only good. Not only is it a terrific action adventure movie but it is definitely one that you can use to fully show off your 1080p TV and your super surround sound system. It is reference quality. Grab it, turn the sound up, push play and enjoy!

Good movie just as the series was. A lot of action and although a bit sad it gave an ending to the series that was abruptly cancelled.

If you've seen the show that this movie is based on, then it's worth getting. It ties up a lot of loose ends left by the show.
