 Excellent Space Opera with Chinese-Western Twist January 6, 2009

Serenity is the final episode, as it were, of the Firefly sci-fi series. Since the show was cancelled after one season, over-whelming response from loyal fans of the show inundated the powers at be responsible for this Awesome show. Director, Joss Whedon, decided to make a theatrical version of the show that would make a final statement of a wonderfully written and original idea for a space opera that never had the chance to let the characters and the storyline mature to it's fullest. The CGI-special effects are excellent and and believable. The sets are well designed and the costumes are well suited for the atmosphere of the show. Not, distracting or taking away from the importance of the characters.
If you are a fan or just like the Firefly series, I highly recommend this DVD. If you haven't seen the series and have seen this DVD or motion picture, I highly suggest you rent or buy the series Firefly. It will complete this whole brilliant concept in a storyline of Patriotism, Friendship, Family and Love...in outer space.
Spectacular movie January 4, 2009

Even if you aren't familiar with the tv series (BUY THE BOX SET), its an awesome and well-written movie.
GREAT FINISH TO AN EXCELLENT SERIES January 4, 2009

SERENITY was so much better than almost any of the other sci-fi around- including the last three over-blown STAR WARS episodes. The characters were wonderful, the acting was solid, the action fast, and the special effects never got in the way of the story. A definite must-have for sci-fi lovers.
 3 stars out of 4 January 3, 2009
One-Line Film Reviews (Ann Arbor)
The Bottom Line:
A capable adaptation of the always-interesting, sometimes-brilliant Firefly, Serenity benefits from Chiwetel Ejiofor's exceptional villain and Whedon's wry humor; it's not a classic, but it's an effective movie.
 WOW! That was NOT a 4.6 star movie. January 3, 2009

This movie is nowhere near its 4.6 rating. Acting and dialog were mediocre, character development was lacking. If you compare it to movies like Mad Max then maybe 3 stars, otherwise if you are not a fan or this series, don't waste your time. It was very disappointing.
