Pros: It's more Firefly!
Cons: It's still not enough. Really - many of the show's questions are still unanswered
Summary: Followers of Firefly will notice that the main character in the series, Malcolm Reynolds, began the series as a bit of a bully and gradually evolved into a more democratic leader as the series went along. This makes the Mal we see in Serenity, the ... read more

Pros: The extended scenes are terrific, commentary is insightful. Has over 30 minutes of additional content.
Cons: Set comes in cardboard cover, not a plastic case and is easier to receive wear-and-tear.
Summary: If you are a fan of the series Firefly like me, you'll love Serenity the collector's edition DVD. It provides lots of action, humor, serious character drama and a story you can't help but get caught up in. I did. Nathan Fillion and the rest of the ... read more

Pros: Great writing and directing. An enjoyable film.
Cons: Music was not inspirational
Summary: Since watching this movie a year ago, it has become one of my favorite sci-fi movies out there. What makes it special is that it is unique in it's approach. Definitely not your typical Hollywood blockbuster format. But what makes it good is having ... read more

Pros: Ties up a great series
Cons: A lot of story in a short amount of time, something had to give
Summary: When Fox cancelled the TV series Firefly, many, many fans lamented the death of a great series. But the good news came when all the existing episodes (including a few never aired) were packaged onto DVD and the DVDs sold so well, Universal opted to ... read more

Pros: A friendly, engaging tone and some good action sequences
Cons: Although I got over it, I'm sure not knowing the TV show might bother some.
Summary: I've never seen a single episode of FIREFLY, so I can speak about this movie as a novice. I guess one main question would be: is this movie worth seeing if you DON'T know the TV show? I would say, "Yes, absolutely." No doubt it is more enjoyable for ... read more

Pros: great storyline, excellent fight sequences, excellent price in the Amazon sale
Cons: extras tailored more to the Browncoat set
Summary: ~~~Background~~~ Once upon a time there was a TV show that was a western in space, called Firefly (for which I have also done a review). It was created by Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel) and unknown to the majority of TV viewers, aired ... read more

Pros: The characters, Joss Whedon's writing, cinematography, sound design.

Pros: Awesome, effects, action, story, characters, just a wonderful sci-fi experience, will please fans
Cons: Some might be disappointed, some cheesiness
Summary: If you read my previous review, I love Joss Whedon's Firefly, it truly stands out as a monumentally creative addition to the sci-fi genre, and I was particularly upset when Fox axed the show midway through it's first season. But, Whedon managed to ... read more

Pros: Breezy, ultimately likable
Cons: Borrows from other movies
Summary: I popped in this dvd with no pretentions. Having never seen Firefly, the popular but short-lived FOX tv show upon which it is based, I knew nothing of the back story, nor what to expect. Having somewhat of a love/hate relationship with the sci-fi genre, ... read more

Pros: characters (some of them), fx, music, atmosphere, unique plot, interesting story, etc.
Cons: some characters underused, some lame action scenes, the ending kinda runs down, etc.
Summary: Been meaning to write this review for some time, but time stood in the way. I watched this film a few weeks ago, got highly recommended from my brother, said it was some sci-fi film that came out a while ago and was pretty good. That's enough for me! ... read more

Pros: Action is great (I prefer the hand-to-hand). Story/acting great as well
Cons: Not for you if you dislike Whedon's "cowboy" writing in this movie.
Summary: I, for one, am happy that "Firefly" got one last chance to say what it wanted to- and do it on the big screen. I might be wrong, but I don't believe that a quickly cancelled television show ever had a life beyond that. Joss Whedon not only manages to ... read more

Pros: acting, some great special effects, good story
Cons: not a satisfying ending

Pros: witty, visceral, eye-popping, a cut above the genre
Cons: no big names, a little too witty at times
Summary: Serenity is one of those films that makes you want to punch somebody - not because it's bad but because it's good, and almost nobody saw it. In an industry whose content is not only marketed like heroin, but protected from competition - with the muscle ... read more

Pros: Great cast, Fans of the show will love it. Good way to end story.
Cons: It ends the story. One or two scenes was dragged out.
Summary: I will start off by saying that I was one of the minority who went to see Serenity without watching the series Firefly before hand. One of my friends who is a Firefly fan had to tell me that the movie is a spinoff from the show. After watching the ... read more

Pros: Good acting and engrossing story
Cons: Climax gets too apocalyptic
Summary: Back in the fall of 2002, there was a little show on FOX called Firefly created by Joss Whedon. It never did well in the ratings and was pulled about half way through the season. I'll admit I was a casual fan at best of the show, watching ... read more

Pros: Cracking, action filled, yet thought provoking film
Cons: Of perhaps limited appeal to non-science fiction fans. Violent in places
Summary: Ever seen a series called Firefly? There's a pretty good chance that not only have you not seen it, but until this year, you'd never heard of it. That's because it only ran for 15 episodes (including the two part pilot...which was actually broadcast ... read more
