User Reviews
I've seen lots of people complain about how it wasn't like the series. That is what makes it special. It is a story in it's own right with al the charm, realism and heart-felt scenes that the series had with an extra 'umf' of action thrown in the mix. Every second was used wisely and effectively to show us just what the 'verse was all about and how the small crew of 9 from 'Firefly' became BIG DMAB HEROES!!
Disappointing

When Firefly was canceled, a small part of me died. With Serenity, I'm feeling wonderfully whole again. Serenity is a grand, sweeping finale to Firefly and with any luck, the beginning of a new film franchise. Like Firefly, Serenity just... Full review
