Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

mattkratz This movie relies a lot on visual effects and picks up where the cancelled series Firefly left off. It also has a decent story as the cast wards off a threat. If you're into science fiction and enjoyed the show, this is a must for you. It would help if you're a fan of the show and are familiar with the cast. The ending was a little tragic though. I enjoyed the action scenes, the great moments among the cast members, and how this might remind you a bit of other great science fiction shows like Star Trek and Babylon 5. The cast really works well together, as it did in the show. You will love this movie! *** out of ****

Mihai Toma Mal, the captain of Serenity carries on his ship a very special girl. River, a young psychic who has been trained by the Alliance as a human weapon, was rescued by her brother and thus she represents the number one target for a merciless assassin, sent specifically to get rid of "the evidence". Although she is perceived as a threat by the crew, she will prove to be a priceless key in unveiling a disturbing secret, kept safe at all costs by the Alliance.It's a dramatic story filled with action and shooting while its complex characters contribute decisively to a wonderful atmosphere. You become connected to the events, start to care about the captain, River with her troubled life and the others. The action is pretty spectacular, at one point I started wondering if I was actually seeing The Matrix in space. It definitely looks great for its time although the effects are not groundbreaking. It made me enjoy it from one end to the other, it surprised me with its story and course of events and it thrilled me with its characters. A must see!

hansefde If someone would ask me my favorite scifi movie, I would name this one first. I never saw the Firefly series, so came in without any knowledge about the Wheeldon universe. But you don't need to, the movie is on itself and an unbelievable masterpiece. No doubt the Firefly series has honed the characters, they are well developed, sharp and witty. You can sense the chemistry. Every line they speak makes sense, every scene is a joy to watch. The story and plot will leave you breathless. Even if you are not into scifi, this is a movie you will love.

gri666 This is a good space adventure movie. The world in which this movie takes place is a very interesting world, somewhat akin to Star Wars. An evil empire, renegade protagonists on the run from authorities. The different settings and characters explored in this movie complement each other like in any good sci-fi, reminding us we're a product of our environment and there's no absolute truth and no good or bad people. This is exactly what was great about the original series, and this movie explores many more parts of this world and provides explanations for its riddles.Character development lacks a little bit in my opinion, as the transition from reclusive survivor to hero is a little too rushed. But there are many characters and many of them evolve in interesting ways.If it was a standalone movie I think I'd rate it 8 or 9, but for a fan of the original series it was such a great experience to go back to the characters and their world, so I give it 10 stars.As a side note, I believe it's OK to watch the movie before the series if you can't commit to the series before seeing what they're about in a focused 2 hour session. But better watch the series first.
