Overview

When the renegade crew of Serenity agrees to hide a fugitive on their ship, they find themselves in an action-packed battle between the relentless military might of a totalitarian regime who will destroy anything – or anyone – to get the girl back and the bloodthirsty creatures who roam the uncharted areas of space. But... the greatest danger of all may be on their ship.

A nice wrap-up to Firefly, unfortunately far too condensed. In may ways it felt like they took the major events that would have spanned the next 2 or 3 seasons and crammed it all into a 2 hour movie. Nonetheless, it provides a decent sense of closure to the series.

This was an extremely poor movie. The weakest character during the TV series, River Tam, confusingly became the story focus in this movie.

The main villains do not make sense. They are, supposedly, so wild that they regularly sack planets and cannib…

At the start, I thought this was a sort of hybrid between "Quantum Leap" and "Guardians of the Galaxy" and that it was just going to be derivate nonsense. It's actually quite a bit better than that as we discover the malevolent "Operative" (Chiwitel Ejiofor) is on the trail of a priceless asset. It's not a jewel or a gadget, it's "River" (Summer Glau) and as he closes in on their ship "Serentity", things are starting to get hot for it's captain "Mal" (Nathan Fillion) and the others in this disparate crew. There's plenty of dissent amongst this bunch, not least because nobody actually knows why…
