HandsOfBlue Best movie ever made!!
Apr 04, 2009
HandsOfBlue
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

I watched the whole DVD set of Firefly a few months ago and was hoping that this movie would be an improvement in terms of scale and effects. Sadly, I was disappointed. Firefly (aka Serenity) is a TV series and should... Full review
I saw this after being skeptical, but seeing the high rating on IMDb. I've now come to realize this is most certainly what is known as the "fanboy" effect. This movie has a meandering plot, a less-than-stellar conclusion, and is... Full review

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

I was lucky enough to catch one of the pre-screenings of Serenity in Spring (thank you Universal!). I let the cinema with a lump in my throat and a feeling that I had just witnessed something special. A phoenix from the... Full review
Before you start reading this, you have to know where I'm coming from. I'm a huge fan of Joss Whedon's work, was a loyal follower of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and 'Angel' and really got into 'Firefly' (on which this... Full review

From start to finish there are no wasted moments. All your emotions will be engaged. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll gasp in shock. What you won't be is bored. Don't plan on being able to take a bathroom break or... Full review
