To start off, I've never seen Firefly, which I think gives me a unique perspective over most other reviewers. So if you're in the same camp as I, I can unhesitatingly tell you... THIS WAS AN AWESOME movie. Now I'm normally a sucker for good sci-fi, but my girlfriend isn't. She HATES anything titled Star-whatever. But we both loved it. The dialogue is snappy... very funny and interesting. The visuals are great for a movie that wasn't a blockbuster hit... much better than I expected them to be. The fighting was incredible... when the lead character River goes into butt-kicking mode, it is truly a beautiful thing to behold. So overall a funny, well-paced action/adventure that just happens to be in outerspace.

I had never seen, nor was aware of, the TV series that this movie is based on. I chose it through Blockbuster Online based on the user reviews. When reading the text outlining the plot, I wasn't so sure I would like it, but, my wife and I both thoroughly enjoyed it. It was much better than we expected. The plot was good, the acting great, and the special FX were top notch. I highly recommend this movie if you're in the mood for a sci-fi.

I never saw the Firefly series, but the movie was very good. There were some things that may have been referenced to the series, but it was easy to follow.

I loved this story of having to fight a military dictatorship. The visuals were great, the good guys were very courageous, and River was a very interesting psychic and fighter.

One of the best sci-fi films out there. The action constantly flows and the story line is unique. I only wish there would be a Serenity II, III, etc. The characters are all believable and it is a true masterpiece. There is no closure, we want more Joss! No power in the Vers can stop us!

The dialogue is not particularly strong, and there are a lot of hokey parts, but the characters and storyline are interesting. The visuals are very well done. If you have a nerdy streak, liked the original Star Wars movies, etc., you'll enjoy this film. I'd never seen the series, but I'll try it out now.
