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
Product Description
Universal Serenity - HD-DVD
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 andhis crew make it difficult for Simon and River tostay hidden. Everything goes completely awry whena 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.

 Firefly, The Conclusion. September 6, 2008
If your a Joss Wedon fan, and a Firefly fan, then you need to add "Serenity" to your collection. Firefly was canceled rather ubruptly, leaving many unanswered storylines. "Serenity" answers all of those questions, and more. I recieved The entire Firefly series as a gift, and I was not satisfied until I added "Serenity" to it. But be prepared, two of Mal's crew don't make it.
Fantastic (ly Sad) September 4, 2008
This movie was ausome. But, So not to overly spoil it, i'll just say that i wish (those people) didn't die.
Stars: *****
great movie September 1, 2008
the best futuristic movie. characters all are great and real. I first started watching Firefly and got hooked. very disappointed it was canceled. why is crap left on tv and good ones canceled? I would buy another one if another movie about Serenity was made.
We need Serenity 2. August 31, 2008
OMG please go buy this movie and support it so we can get a Serenity 2. I blame myself for being a dumbass for not watching this movie/firefly series sooner. When I initially saw this series I was like "Space cowboys? What a dumb idea I am not watching this corny crap." 2008 and I finally watched Firefly for the first time and I was blown away. The acting, the special effects and stories was excellent. I watched the entire series straight and rushed out to get the dvd. Holy crap!!! One of the best Sci-fi movies ever!!! It's because of stupid people like me that the movie didn't do well at the box office.
I am sad that there are not more episodes of Firefly, it should have gone down as one of the best TV series of all time, if only more people gave it a chance, but I have noone to blame but myself. Please, give the series a chance and you will feel the same way as I do.
good purchase August 29, 2008
Was exactly what I ordered and in the right condition. I would buy from this seller again.
