it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

I bought the DVD after I got excited by the high rating and reviews, and I was ready to throw curses on FOX for cancelling the show. After episode 5, I just knew why FOX cancelled the show; the plot was too weak and too simple to keep attracting more audience.All I can say is that the show failed to meet my expectations, and it definitely does not deserve the high rating. Though the acting is quite good, the show has serious problems. The plot is too simple and unconvincing for a sci-fi action. The whole spaceship is maintained and fixed by a single mechanic! Even a small car needs more than one mechanic for repairing. Many communities on different planets are more primative than our middle- age people. A flying barn-like spaceship that looks as if it was built in the middle age? Come on, give me a break. My old car looks more modern, and we're talking about a spaceship in the year 2500! And worst of all, it does not make any sense to make a sci-fi show without people, animal or even insect aliens. What is the point to let viewers watch earth-like planets?I am so disappointed by this average show.

I hate to and very rarely and stingily dole out 10s on IMDB.Mostly because I believe too much of anything is a bad thing. All you have to do is look at Big Bang Theory. They end up disappointing more often than not. They cease to surprise and amaze you. They become that old friend you are still in touch with just because you've known them forever.
Which is why I can safely give Firefly a 10. Its been 14 very short but wholesome episodes. In a way I am happy this show is no more because it can never disappoint me, ever.
Nothing about this show is bad. Save that each episode is 40 mins short and that they ceased making such good television. Dastardly villians, well sketched out characters, insanely good capers, dialogues that will be forever fresh in my mind, acting that catches you by surprise, editing that stands the test of time, unrequited love, betrayal, did I mention really great comic albeit understated comic timing? Everything about this show is great. You cant ever peg a character in this as good or bad, as they all seem to be various shades of grey. This show I can safely place on a mantel for life (unlike some of the greats out there that left you disappointed forever .. looking at you Dexter)
It is NOT one of those regular caper shows. Take your usual everyday caper for telly and have it done wholesomely solemnly well with comedy and dark bits thrown in for equal measure and you think you can predict the ending. You know exactly how the episode is going to end and can call the shots. Then, BANG, the plot goes in the exact opposite direction of what you have predicted. Which keeps you on your toes, with laugh out loud laughter and interested to see how this pans out for all the favourite characters involved. I honestly can not rate this show any higher or urge you more strongly to watch it.
10/10 ( and like I said, its only because I cant go any higher)

Watching this 16 years after release I still get laughs and delightful amazement at the cinematography in certain scenes. They DO NOT make material like this anymore and FIREFLY will always remain a definitive classic.Acting and casting is first rate, truly believable characters make this in many ways better than any Star Wars re-hash.LONG awaiting the resurrection of the Brown Coats against the FOX-CORP galactic alliance.

The best TV show of the last 20 years, and they canceled it after 1 series!! Please please please please do the fans justice, make more firefly!!!! It has it all drama, comedy, action, so well written it really is a shame we can't enjoy more, in my opinion the best sci fi show since quantum leap!! It combines two great genre's sci fi and western and the chicks are hot too
