Synopsis
The crew of Serenity will take any job, even if that job isn’t exactly legal. Captain Malcolm Reynolds and his crew take small smuggling and robbery jobs to keep their ship afloat, and to stay under the radar of The Alliance, the galactic conglomerate that not only rules the galaxy, but was on the opposite side of the war Mal lost years ago. But when a Simon and his unstable, telepathic sister, River join the crew, they get in much more trouble than they bargained for. A mysterious man is after River, because she stumbled onto a secret no one was supposed to know… and the alliance will do anything to get her back. –IMDb

Took some time before I saw this, had to really muster up the courage and might and balls because maybe, just maybe, there is the off chance the film just wouldn't jive with me the way the series did. But it works and it works well. It stands among other great sci-fi pieces while ultimately carving its own new groove into the mythology. Loved it. Great job Whedon. I miss Serenity already.

The movie does a good job of introducing the TV show to people who aren't familiar with it, but Firefly is ultimately a better work.

Solid sci-fi action & adventure. Stands well on its own, but one can get so much more out of this film by watching Firefly beforehand. The only thing that sucks is it makes me even more saddened that the series was so short-lived...
