Ok to begin with, you MUST watch the "Firefly" series before watching this movie to really get the whole back story. But thank God, they finally ended the series that had left us hanging for so long.

jenlovestoreview says "Fantastic dialogue, plot, setting and costumes!!!" about Serenity

I get any thing that is reccommended to me as a decent movie.

I was SURPRISED in a very HAPPY way!!!

I fell in love with the characters, and was very sad when the movie was over. At the end of viewing the movie I watched ALL the special effects and saw the commentary by the movie's director. Apparently this movie had been based on a TV show that ran for only one season: Firefly.. I promptly got on the computer and found the tv episodes and put them in my queue so I could watch them!

It's fairly close to an excellent Star Trek spin-off. Unique of course, but it probably wouldn't have happened were it not for Kirk and Spock.

The crew of the Serenity is in trouble. They have been trying to avoid detection to protect Doctor Simon Tam (Sean Maher), and his gifted traumatized and telepathic younger sister, River (Summer Glau), from the ALLIANCE.

Simon and River had been previously rescued from the Alliance a year earlier. The rag-tag crew of the Serenity earn their living and survive by thievery but in a Robin Hood sort of way--so we like these anit-establishment anti-heroes just fine.

They take River on a robbery and the cannibal humans called Reavers attack. Simon decides...
