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.
In a distant star system, the ragtag crew of Serenity, a Firefly-class spaceship, struggles to survive by taking on various smuggling jobs. Led by Captain Malcolm Reynolds, a former soldier disillusioned by the galactic Alliance, the crew includes his loyal second-in-command Zoe, the wisecracking pilot Wash, the formidable Jayne, the empathic healer Simon and his telepathic sister River, and the preacher Book. Their latest mission becomes far more dangerous when they inadvertently pick up a passenger with a deadly secret, attracting the attention of a terrifying Alliance operative known only as The Operative.
Serenity was met with generally positive reviews from critics and audiences alike, earning praise for its thrilling action sequences, compelling characters, and faithful expansion of the beloved Firefly universe.

This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then - explode. Serenity is written and directed by Josh Whedon. It stars Nathan Fillion, Gina Torres, Alan Tudyk, Mor...
This was an extremely poor movie. The weakest character during the TV series, River Tam, confusingly became the story focus in this movie. Despite never exercising and having a small frame, River fought and K.O.ed a room full of bar patr...
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 sen...
