Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Awesome Science Fiction Movie that is a thumbs up!
All the actors are great and there is not one thing in the movie that I dislike.
The plot picks up a short while after the TV Series, "Firefly", left off. The pre-title teaser provides backstory for those unfamiliar with the TV series. The events in the teaser occur prior to the first episode of the TV series. After the teaser, we find the 25th century spaceship "Firefly" class freighter "Serenity" captained by former Independent soldier Malcolm about to enter the planet Lilac's atmosphere on one of the crews' not always legal jobs; this time a bank heist. When the renegade crew of Serenity agrees to hide a fugitive on their ship, they find themselves in a battle between the relentless military might of a totalitarian regime who will destroy anything to get the fugitive girl back. But, the greatest danger of all may be on their ship. This space opera is written and directed by Joss Whedon (Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, The Avengers, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) and is thus filled with what the Sci-Fi buff wants in a movie in this genre.

It Gives Closure To The Firefly Series
"Serenity" was made a few years after the short-lived (single season) Firefly series, and caps off the story line. Both the series and the movie are what I think is the personification of a "space western" and a well-rounded adventure story.
Probably ahead of its time by a few years, the 1 season series is in syndication. Watch the first two episodes and see if you become a fan.
Both the Firefly series and Serenity are must for my collection!
