The crew are back but this time it's a movie not a TV series. The directing and the characters are the best part of this movie but am not a fan of firefly if I have to be honest so I thought this movie was alright.

As someone who had never watched a single episode of Firefly before seeing Serenity, I was refreshed by the combination of a solid sci-fi film with Whedon's signature humor-filled, gleeful directing style. The film is exciting throughout and a fun ride, even for those unfamiliar with the source material.

Way to go for getting closure for a very unique series. But...the plot is more than just a little iffy when it comes to morality and no kiss for Mal and Inara? Criminal.

I have to admit I had really low expectations coming into this one, but not bad. Hardcore sci-fi fan will surely love it and other can enjoy it, too.

I must start out by saying that I a Huge Joss Whedon Fan. I love all of his shows and Firefly was no exception. It was nice to see what he had wanted to do with the firefly series and it made for a great movie. Also a note to any Firefly Fans the Firefly cast is all here so you will enjoy that. Over all if you liked this movie you need to rent or buy the series it is even better!

Being a huge Firefly fan I was highly anticipating greatness from this movie. This also scared me because my expectations are always met with disappointment. Serenity does not disappoint. This film reminds me of the Star Wars IV - VI films. There are many comparisons that can be made. The witty dialog, cocky lead actor, and good supporting cast. This film may be more for those who have seen the TV series. Definitely give it a chance and watch with open mind.

This movie rocks. Period. If you haven't seen it, and you haven't seen the TV show it's based on, go pick up Firefly and watch it, then pick this up and watch it. I guarantee you'll love it. It's not at all your average, high-tech space opera or gritty human vs. alien pic. Serenity -- like Firefly -- is a story about average joes trying to make their way. But things never go smooth for the crew of Serenity, a tramp freighter. And in this movie, they aren't smooth at all. In fact, things get quite rough. That's all I'm going to say. Just see it. Don't let anyone spoil it for you.

Having never seen Firefly, I didn't know what to expect. But this movie was pretty good, witty and action packed. I like the idea of the movie, but it was a bit "made for tv" looking for my taste. Good if you love Sci-fi.

Fans of Joss Whedon's Firefly will be satisfied with this action-packed sci-fi flick. Others may feel a bit baffled, but none-the-less enjoy the ride.
