Tamara Taylor Teacher as Teacher. More like this. Watch options. Storyline Edit. Serenity continues the story of the TV series it was based upon "Firefly".
River Tam had a secret - one in which she's not even aware - so dangerous, no one's safe, as an Alliance operative's sent to capture her, and all others are considered irrelevant to his job. Can't stop the signal. Action Adventure Sci-Fi Thriller. Rated PG for sequences of intense violence and action, and some sexual references.
Did you know Edit. Trivia According to Nathan Fillion, he personally supplied the blueprints used to build the ship set in the film after being informed at a production meeting that the originals had been lost. He was able to do so because, being so excited about being in the original show, he had taken photos of ALL the preproduction materials he had seen, including the blueprints.
Goofs Security camera footage shows Mal and Jayne sitting at a table with Fanty and Mingo before they enter the bar. Crazy credits There is a message in the closing credits: "The filmmakers wish to thank the crew and staff of 'Firefly'".
Soundtracks Serenity uncredited. User reviews 1. Top review. Funny that people keep comparing it to Star Wars. Star Wars in , the year this film was made. After all Star Wars is kaka. Serenity is fun though and I have not watched the preceding series maybe I should. The action is there, the villain is scary, the girl is thin and pretty and I lover her legs, hair and face. FAQ 7.
How long after the "Firefly" series does this film take place? What is The Verse? Why is there sound in space during the final space battle?

The action thrills and excites, the music is clever and doesn't detract from the atmosphere and the visuals and effects are dazzling. The actors do do a credible job in connecting to their characters, who may be over-familiar perhaps in set-up but quite likable and compelling thanks to the acting and writing.
Nathan Fillion especially is great. All in all, a fantastic film both as a stand-alone and a successor to a superior but equally fantastic show. For me, Serenity is easily one of the better based-of-TV-show films I have seen. I'd never watched the latter but decided to watch this because — well, I was just in the movie for some decent science fiction.
I got it. The good news is that you don't need to be knowledgeable regarding the series, because this film is designed to appeal both to serious fans and newcomers alike. I was slightly worried about this being the brainchild of Joss Whedon, having never been a big fan of BUFFY, but I needn't have worried as it's clear Whedon's developed plenty of experience and skill when it comes to directing, and this is never less than a polished and efficient movie.
The story is fairly predictable, but the scenarios are kept fresh and consistently engaging. A bunch of misfits pilot a little ship around the universe and have to contend with a sinister evil corporation and a bunch of cannibal types. Much of the film is a chase scenario, with a heavy focus on the action. I like action films whether either a the action is so great that you don't need story, acting, or a decent script — see Tony Jaa movies in general, or b the characters are engaging enough for us to go along with them for the story.
Well, they didn't skimp on the characterisation here, which makes a refreshing change from the usual throw-money-at-the-screen-in-the-hope-something-sticks attitude of many Hollywood producers. Nathan Fillion is great as the tough-talking captain, a thinly veiled Han Solo but deeper than that, too. He's supported by an attractive cast of familiar faces Adam Baldwin, Alan Tudyk in strong roles, kooky Summer Glau who steals many of her scenes, and Chiwetel Ejiofor playing another multi-layered, eminently likable bad guy.
Although I'm sure this had more budget constraints than plenty of similar fare, the special effects look pretty darned good with only one scene — a chase between two hovering ships — feeling unrealistic.
There are the requisite space battles and martial arts interludes that don't disappoint, as well as an exciting siege-focused climax that nods to ALIENS in an effective way, and some other effective set-pieces the interlude on the planet full of corpses was very unsettling. This is the usual sci-fi adventure film with a sheen of intelligence to lift it above similar lunk-headed fare.
Mankind had left Earth for a new solar system with dozens of planets and hundreds of moons. The inner most planets had formed the Alliance, and conquered the outer Independent planets in a destructive war. Mal Nathan Fillion and his ragtag band of former rebels are living on the edge of survival. Simon had bought his way on board and rescued sister River from a government facility. She's a secret experiment with psychic powers and hidden memories of a deadly government secret.
This is the follow up to the short-lived cult TV show Firefly. Although it's not absolutely necessary to know the TV show to understand the movie, it would help to get the feel of the group dynamics. The relationships are what gives the movie its emotions. The characters are pretty easily decipherable. Nevertheless, their backstories would help. This has the Joss Whedon touches. It has the fast talking inside jokes of a Scooby gang. That's what makes this fun.
The CGI is not the absolute top rate, but he makes up for it with inventive energy. The random craziness of the big space battle is something that Star Wars can only aspire to. In fact, Mal is Han Solo.
