Serenity review

A mixture of humor, horror, drama, western, action and sci-fi all rolled into one package. This type of picture smiply gets better as you view this from the very first scenes. It boils down to this message from the flick - "We meant it for the best… to make people safer." and yet detrimental effects occur. Malcolm "Mal" (Nathan Fillion) is the Captain of Serenity, where his team consists of Zoe (Gina Torres), pilot Hoban "Wash" (Alan Tudyk), Inara (Morena Baccarin), weapons expert Jayne (Adam Baldwin), mechanic Kaylee (Jewel Staite), doctor Simon (Sean Maher) and his psychic sister River (Summer Glau).

The idea of a roguish smuggler going head to head with a charismatic villain to expose the folly of an evil empire is not unlike that of a certain other infamous franchise...

Serenity

Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy, Firefly and Dollhouse, is by far the director with the most devoted fanbase ever, and there's a reason for that. After the roaring success of the Buffy television series, Whedon busied himself with creating the most recognisable sci-fi television series in history, mashing several genres into one exhilirating show effectively.

That show, Firefly, was praised by critical acclaim, although it faired very poorly with the home viewers, and was unfortunatly cancelled mid-season. But from that spawned a film adaptation, financed in great part by the massive fandom that sprang from Firefly.

Although Serenity is now hailed as a striking example of good sci-fi filmaking, it will definitely not appeal to everyone. It has a very unique style and atmosphere, comb...
