Is this product review positive? Title: Space western Review: I very much enjoyed the TV series from which this film evolvedand I enjoyed this film. The acting was good and the story was also. Unfortunately, killing off some of the characters makes a sequal difficult. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: For Fan's Review: Its a good movie for SiFi Fans, but im sorry to say only for them. Actually i was hoping for a bit more, it didnt had the plot depth or character development i expected. So four stars is all i can do. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: HD-DVD only has DD+ sound. :( Review: HD-DVD only has DD+ sound. :(Why is it that Amazon doesn't provide a *large/detailed* pic of the backside of every HD (Blu-ray included) movie?Fortunately they (or a user?) did.The regular DVD has DTS 5.1 sound. :) Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Movie 4 stars - this version is a ripoff Review: First, let me say that I love Serenity. What I don't like is how they recycled the original DVD and added so-called "extras" in this version and are charging full-price for it. The "extras" are not worth it - as you watch them, you'll notice they use the same footage over and over again. The case is nice, but they really want to suck your wallet empty by inserting a sales flier listing "official Serenity" merchandise you can order - that's all this version is about - bleeding you dry. I was very disappointed in that I was expecting to see alot of unreleased/raw footage and this was not the case. What a shame - a blown opportunity to provide fans with a truly memorable collection - the only memorable thing about this version is the lack of material and the full price. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Nothing really new in this edition Review: I eagerly awaiting receiving this DVD and then was completely disappointed. I don't know why they needed a second DVD -- they could have fit it all on one. There's really nothing new here except the same content re-edited over and over into 3-4 minute segments, a 21 minute segment that aired on SciFi, and River Tamm stuff that was already online. The movie itself is exactly the same (with the addition of DTS). Uh...I love this movie, but I didn't need a second copy with regurgitated crap on it. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Obsolete merchandise Review: Purchased this as a Christmas present for my daughter and did not open the box as I knew what was in it. As she already had a copy of Serenity, I kept it and just now opened the box to play it and noticed that the digital copy expired on 12-31-12. Purchased in mid-November and let's assume Christmas present as intended and let's further assume that since Christmas and New Year's are busy times, how would one take advantage of the digital download at this busy time of year??? I am formally accusing Amazon of dumping expiring merchandise in order to sell at a cheap price!!! Screwed again by Amazon!!! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Bloody fantastic Review: Whether you're familiar with the TV show or not, this is a great movie... some of the best characters, great chemistry between them, and fantastic storytelling in a space western that flies from comic to deadly in a blink. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Collector's Edition = Hope For a Sequel Review: Pretty much all this collector's edition is a way to get Serenity another movie deal and that's it. The numbers for both the series and the previous version of the show were really high and with this new collector's edition coming out there has been some serious talk about a sequel to Serenity. So even if you already own the movie, but would like to see a second installment, buy a copy, or get one as a gift for your friends, cause this is the last shot this show will get. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Released at the right time! Review: I guess I'll start with saying I have never seen Firefly so I had no expectations.Simon (Sean Maher) rescues his little telepathic sister River (Summer Glau) from the Alliance, but something makes her turn against the crew on Serenity and Sean decides it's best for them to leave. After watching the tapes from where she attacks the crew find out she's saying "Miranda" before she goes maniac. The captain takes them back on and is determined to find out who/what Miranda is and why the Alliance is after River.This is a great sci-fi movie and came out at the right time. The movie is whole and no scenes are wasted. There are witty lines all through the movie and you do not wait for it to end. I am already hoping for a sequel. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: What were those FOX tv executives thinking? They weren't Review: Short review here so everyone reads:Serenity is #3 in DVD sales on Amazon with over 1,000 reviewsFirefly (the TV series)is #5 on Amazon with over 500 reviewsUniversal Studios did the Movie, not FoxJoss Whedon is going to make a boat-load of money - Good for him, too bad for FOX. Would be nice to see the series back on HBO, cable etc. Fox would probably canceled it again. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Joss can do better then this Review: Not as good as the show, although if you've loved the show then you should really get the graphic novel. The movie was made for newcomers who would may have knew nothing about the show firefly. Therefore it is not as great as it could have been what Joss should have done is made it for fans instead of trying to make it for new comers but ... I can't complain about what has already been done. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Nice, but... Review: I love the TV show Firefly. It was such a unique take on humanity's future with the combination of space travel, intermixed with the morals of the Old West.It seems to me that science fiction fans (and I am one of them) are very loyal and aware of the history of the characters and the rules of the environment (see Light Sabers in Star Wars). Sadly, Serenity changed some of the events of the TV series. Although I am not happy about the changes I am a big fan of the movie.While I hope all Firefly fans will buy the Collector's Edition to support more tales of the crew of Serenity, there is nothing truly new on the second disc. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Serenity widescreen Review: Movie was awesome; so was the TV series. Great for adults and kids. Movie arrived quickly; good service. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Great Movie Review: Great movie based on a great series and you can't beat the price for this good a sci-fi movie. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Surprisingly Fun Review: I stumbled on this movie by chance and have been telling everyone about how good it is. My wife, not a sci-fi fan, absolutely loved this movie. The story is great and the characters are fun. Blu-ray will have you visually impressed and your surround sound will by constantly busy. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Hot Summer Review: I recently finished watching the series on DVD and enjoyed it, but I was blown away by this movie. I enjoyed it so much that I immediately watched it again with commentary by Joss Whedon.For me the standouts in a fine cast were Nathan Fillion and Summer Glau. Glau's fight sequences were astounding and surprising considering that her character spent most of the series in a catatonic state. There are also some surprises that will shock fans of the series.Finally I was very impressed with the cinematography and lighting. I highly recommend the Whedon commentary to gain an even greater appreciation of some of the intricacies of this very fine film. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: An awsum thrill ride... Review: This movie is, to me, the perfect follow on to the tragically short lived TV series.The same characters play the same parts in the movie as in the series, which makes continuity a breeze.The characters get a cjhance to stretch a little more, and none of them let us down. I have been a SciFi fan since the 1950s and this is one of my all time favs.Enjoy! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Amazing Movie to follow up an Amazing Series.... Review: This AMAZING movie was made from a cancelled TV Series!What you say? Someone actually made a movie from a series that didn't even make it on television? YES Universal did.... And with any hope there will be many more to come.This movie can be enjoyed as a follow up to the series "Firefly" or on its own. It is an amazing adventure you can watch over and over again. The story hits hard and fast, soon after introducing the wonderfully deep characters. The story will leave you enthralled, inspired, and in shock. Though the actors names are not yet well known on the big screen, they are the next up and coming big stars in my opinion. Do not base your decision to purchase this movie on the fact that Tom Cruise didn't play the main character...I highly recommend both Serenity and Firefly to everyone!Buy it now.... and while you are at it... get Firefly too!You won't be sorry! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: way cool Review: I have to say I love this movie. The characters created through the original Firefly series have always been some of my favorites. The challenge that I have is that there are times when it seems the movie does not fit exactly into the series, but I still absolutely love the movie. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: We need Serenity 2. Review: OMG please go buy this movie and support it so we can get a Serenity 2. I blame myself for being a dumbass for not watching this movie/firefly series sooner. When I initially saw this series I was like "Space cowboys? What a dumb idea I am not watching this corny crap." 2008 and I finally watched Firefly for the first time and I was blown away. The acting, the special effects and stories was excellent. I watched the entire series straight and rushed out to get the dvd. Holy crap!!! One of the best Sci-fi movies ever!!! It's because of stupid people like me that the movie didn't do well at the box office.I am sad that there are not more episodes of Firefly, it should have gone down as one of the best TV series of all time, if only more people gave it a chance, but I have noone to blame but myself. Please, give the series a chance and you will feel the same way as I do. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Perfectly Serene Review: What can I say? Serenity is not your average Science Fiction movie. For starters, it's a movie spawned from a huge fan movement (Browncoats) of a (undeservedly)cancelled television show by Joss Whedon(Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel). In my opnion, it's a movie made specifically for the fans because of all the different references to past episodes but that doesn't mean some guy who's bored on a Friday night won't enjoy it. While the graphics aren't the same as LotR or Star Wars (New Trilogy) but the story is still compelling and even though the dialogue sounds a bit awkward at times (it's still better than the new Star Wars trilogy at any right), it stays true to the universe. The acting is good, you can get a sense of the characters and their developement over the course of the movie. Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: Not your average "Double-Dip" Review: If you don't own the film Serenity but have wanted to, now's your chance! This is one of the nicest dvd packages I've ever seen, and the Bonus content is fantastic. If you've gotten as far as this review, you've surely read others telling you what a great film Serenity is. There's very little I could add, except to say that it's not just "another sci/fi movie". It is so multi-Genre... an Action-Packed Comedy/Drama set in a Sci/Fi environment with Western overtones, as well as Film Noir, and on top of all that... It's a Mystery with a Social Message! :)Something for everyone. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Worth buying a second time. Review: I was a bit hesitant to buy the Collector's Edition of Serenity as I'm getting a bit tired of the "rereleasing" trend that has come about. If you've got the extras put them on the first release. If you've got deleted scenes or extended scenes put two versions of the movie on the first release as well, the theatrical and the director's cut. Come on, people. Why do you think so many people are just downloading movies. Anyway, enough of my little rant.I'm a huge Firefly/Serenity fan and a huge Joss Whedon fan in general so I got the collector's edition. It has all the extras from the first release (good job, guys!) and lots of new stuff. My only real issue is I would have liked to see a second version of the film included that had all the extended or deleted scenes put in. But I can't complain too bad. This is really worth the money. Also if you haven't seenFirefly - The Complete Seriesyet, I recommend checking it out first. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Wow oh wow... Review: Awesome movie, now in HD... You've seen reviews for the movie everywhere, so I wont bore you with that.. but OMG, the sharpness, the clarity, leaves one speechless... I cant rate this high enough. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: The Best Sci-Fi movie you've never seen! Review: The thing that many people do not understand is that YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A FAN OF THE SHOW TO LOVE THIS MOVIE. This has everything you wish Lucas had provided in the prequels: great acting, kicking action, moving characters, and a great plot. The feel is gritty but with great heart. He has a message but will not preach to you. Surprises, love and a message about humanity make it complete. If you ever wished you could find a Sci-Fi movie on the big screen that you could love, do yourself a favor and give this movie a try. You will not go away unmoved. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Serenity / Firefly Review: I got this movie and the Firefly series since the review were soooo good. My husband is a huge Si-Fi fan and so I thought since I am a Castle (Nathan Fillion) fan I'd get this for some together time on the couch. We watched the first episode of Firefly and weren't impressed in all. That's why I have not watched Serenity yet. I will try to get into it when I have more time. But right now I rather watch Castle when I have a moment to watch TV than this. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Serenity Now !!! Review: This is a great Sci-Fi movie. I strongly suggest that you go ahead and purchase the tv series as well. You get a better feel for the characters, plus every episode is great. As many others have stated they would like to see the tv show come back, I wish it would too. So get the tv series & Serenity, you will not be dissapointed! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Entertaining, if slightly derivative, space opera! Review: The show "Firefly" that spawned this theatrical feature had aired and been subsequently cancelled before I saw a single episode. Thus, I viewed "Serenity" with no preconceived ideas about character, plot, or setting.That, without a doubt, was an advantage.I found Joss Whedon's creation to be well made, with the right balance of humor, action, and situations. The mostly unknown cast (I only knew Adam Baldwin and Ron Glass) acquaints itself well and adds to the "freshness" of a storyline that, at times, is reminiscent of genre films that have come and gone before.What with "The Federation" ("Star Trek") on hold, "The Empire" ("Star Wars") having bit the dust, it might be time for Whedon's "Alliance" to take its place in the minds of sci-fi fans, hungry for the next franchise. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Great Buy Review: What can I say...... it's "Serenity"! I really didn't need the Collector's Edition, but there's no way I was passing it up. There's not a whole lot extra, but the box is worth it! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Excellent, as usual Review: The only reason to get this rather than, or in addition to, the original release is the new bonus features - but they are worth it. I was thrilled to find out that the DVD includes the River Tam sessions, as watching them on YouTube hardly does them justice. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Serenity (Widescreen Edition) Review: Wow what to say about this movie? There is a degree of story tie ups required from the TV show firefly that is incorporated into this. It moves a bit on the slow side but it needs to. If it moved any faster nothing would be understood. You won't know what the movie is about until near the end and that will also be the point when you decide if you like it or not. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Wow. Review: This made me a fanboy. It's a little disturbing to like a show so much.... It will get you too. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: 2nd Favorite movie of all time!!! Review: I Love this movie there are so many things happening in it that replay value is high. The story is well thought out the acting is top notch. Special effects are awesome. With every thing this movie has to offer what sold me is the dialog & dynamics between the actors. It was ashame that the TV series Firefly for which this movie comes from was cancelled. I truly believe that the series Firefly would have been what the Star Wars fans would have wanted from Mr. Lucas if Star Wars was ever made into a TV series. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Fun Space Sci-Fi Review: Having only seen only one of the Firefly TV episodes (not going in with much back story) this was a fun generally family appropriate Sci-Fi movie. Careful with the extras as they contain several F-Bombs. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Serenity collectors edition a must for die hard fans Review: The Serenity Collectors Edition is a must have for the die hard fans of Serenity/Firefly. The sound quality is great. The special features are great for fans. There are way more special features with this then the original dvd release. This is an incredible movie. It's too bad it didn't do better in the box office to warrant more movies. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: A very good ending Review: Once I finally found this show, I was really saddened to learn that it was already cancelled. When I discovered the movie, I was thrilled that it tied up most of the loose ends but still left it open enough for a sequel. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: best looking hd dvd that I own Review: I would have to say that even though I do not care for the cover this is the best looking hd dvd that I own. The graphics are great and the sound is supurb. I really hope that one day (not too far off) they will bring back the series. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Great movie Review: A great movie for anyone who likes movies, Serenity has action, adventure, comedy, and some superb writing and acting going for it. The action sequences are intense, tight, and have to be seen on the big screen - DVD just won't do them justice. That said, I know I'm getting the DVD as soon as it comes out, so I can finally hear the lines I missed because the audience in the theater was laughing or gasping. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: If you love SCI-FI this is mandatory viewing Review: Calling all nerds and nerdettes- if you didn't get enough of the great series "Firefly" then you need to see this film. The blue ray is breathtaking. The story is fun and well written. The effects are cool. The ship is a masterpiece. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: serenity Review: I was enthralled by this movie. I have become a very late fan of Firefly and was enthusiastically waiting to see this movie. It was exciting and sad but it showed how one must have that desire to continue on despite adverse experiences. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Serenity now... Review: Great movie. I'd never seen the series but didn't need to in order to enjoy this movie. In the days of remakes and stupid movies it was nice to find an intelligent but down to earth movie. This one actually seemed to have been written by someone who knew how to write. I'm so sick of 80's remakes of what were already bad movies or series. They just seem to have run out of ideas haven't they? This one was fun and original. I have a soft spot for westerns as they're the real action movies I grew up with. This movie had great dialogue and good and sometimes strong acting. Considering the budget (I read somewhere it wss made quick and underfunded) I was pretty impressed with the finished product. Can't imagine what they would have done if they'd had a big budget. I rented this on netflix and liked it so much I bought it. That tell you anything? Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Compelling Review: I had not a chance to see the "Firefly" television series, but I did enjoy Joss Whedon's interpretation of the X-men comic series and so I thought I'd give this movie a try. I like Whedon's use of dialogue to build and relieve tension in X-men, and he maintains his ear for good witty dialogue in "Serenity." He also does an excellent job of developing what are essentially comic book characters, and making us care about them and so that when this movie reaches its climax our muscles tense up as we root for our heroes to make it against overwhelming odds.That said, the special effects are really cheesy -- I suppose it's a homage to the campiness of Whedon's style. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: worth the replacement cost Review: The movie, like the series, has a gemlike quality - polished and perfect. It's almost alarming to see the extended scenes and realize how much worse they are. The final versions are a real tribute to the power of judicious editing. And I would buy the entire series all over again if Nathan did the commentaries. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Must See Review: I never knew of the FireFly series until having seen Serenity on DVD. I am not much of a TV fan but I do see movies often. I did not see Serenity in the theaters because quite frankly, I did not recognize any of the actors and stayed away.I had seen the DVD out for a while and one day picked up a copy. I am here to say that I feel bad about not having seen the movie in theaters. Then when I seen how the box office did, I felt real bad. I would have easily paid to see this movie a couple times at least. If they ever make a sequel (man I hope they do) I will be there the day it opensAfter seeing the movie I picked up the series and it was great. This is TV that I would watch. If they ever brought back the series I would tune in for sure. Here's to hoping they make a sequel at least! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Joss is a genius! Review: If you are a Joss Whedon, this is a must see movie. No, make that a must "own" movie. My family has watched it over and over. As usual, the dialog is amazing. I find myself quoting the movie all the time! It doesn't get any better than this. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Finally affordable Review: I've waited for this movie on Blu ray forever. I went to the movies to see it, and w/ my home set up now, it's the cats a$$. I've kept track of all the actors, and many of them are doing well, especially Fillion. I've seen it so many times, my wife won't watch it w/me anymore ! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Good continuation/explanation of Firefly Review: While it is a shame that Firefly only made it through one season, this movie does a good job of using the same cast and "jumping" to a decent conclusion for the series. If you are a fan of the Firefly series or Stargate type flicks you will probably enjoy this movie as well.5 Stars. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Great story and good special effects Review: Great story and good special effectsGood chemistry between the characters and an interesting and fast moving plot. Enjoyed it. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Best Acting in a Space Saga Review: Any time a movie is made based on a television series, the production faces an additional dilemma: how to bring new viewers up to speed without boring series fans to tears. "Serenity" manages to do a fine job, those new to the Firefly saga quickly learn the essential backstory while hardcore fans are still entertained during the formative part of the film. This is no mean feat, given the size of the ensemble cast.The element that sets this movie apart from all the other tales of space and sci-fi on film is the acting. Taking the well-formed and interesting characters created by Whedon, the cast really makes them appealing and identifiable. You feel like you actually known these people and you understand their actions and emotions. Hopefully the surviving cast will have the opportunity to reprise their roles in a sequel or two or three. Much like a couple of other space flick franchises, only better. Much, much better. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Very entertaining sci-fi film. Review: I did not see the TV series that this was based on (Firefly?) but a friend tipped me off that it was a good show and I saw it, even though sci-fi is not usually my cup of tea. But it was a very entertaining film. The action was fast-paced, flowed well and there was not too much of it. The story line was intriguing and kept you guessing. The acting was pretty good (some better than others) but overall a very decent job. It was a sci-fi film with a western feel to it. Recommended for anyone in search of a good movie. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Must have movie if you liked Firefly Review: Serenity was what season 2 of Firefly would've been had it been made. If you own the Firefly DVD series then do yourself a favor and buy Serenity as well. It's a fast moving movie and ties together a lot of loose ends from the Firefly TV series, which is also a must have DVD set. It's simply one of the best written TV shows in the last 10 years. There are also soundtracks for both Firefly and Serenity that are thoroughly enjoyable to listen to. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: what can I say Review: Great follow up to Firefly. I thought the bonus features were entertaining as well. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone. Delivery was prompt as well. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Great! Review: Watch the series first! The movie is great, but the untimely cancelled TV series was some of the best TV ever. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Best Ever Review: This movie, from the series Firefly, is (like the series) the best sci-fi ever produced. The series was prematurely killed and the movie did not get the attention it deserves. I really hope that the dvd earns enough money that Joss and the studios will be encouraged to make at least two more movies and bring the series back.The characters are so real, you can identify with them immediately and I'm pleased to say that they all stayed "in character" for the movie.We bought the series dvds and have watched them at least a dozen times without ever tiring of the show - I know the movie will be watched over and over again at our house.The only negative aspect of either the series or the movie is it ends too soon...the movie does tie up loose ends left by the premature cancelling of the series, but I still want more! Answer:
Yes

I had never seen the firefly series, but of course went out and purchased it immediately following the viewing of this spectacularly wonderful movie.The Mandarin language mixed with gun slinging astronauts is just brilliant. The characters are well written and portrayed.Hooray to Joss Whedon for another success!!! I love the Angel series!! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Best Scifi ever! Review: I learned about the show Firefly on an online forum for Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles and then watch the TV series on Hulu. I loved the show so decided to get the movie. WOW, this is just like the TV show but 100 times better. Best Scifi movie of the new century. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Simply Brilliant Review: The mash-up Whedon has done with the wild-west and sci-fi is one of the greatest things to come to TV and the big screen. Through Firefly and Serenity one gets to see unique characters, deep and poignant stories, excellent music accompaniment, and creative writing all inter-mixed. Sit down and let this spectacle take you away as you feel for the characters, the situation, and everything else in this great movie. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Love the show, movie was pretty good. Review: So the movie is not as good as the movie but it answers questions and a good wrap up for the show "firefly." anyway, I received this movie really fast and for a fair price. I think I paid about $8-$9 and shipping and handling. The movie was in excellent condition, it was almost as if no one has ever touched it. The case is pretty cool, not your normal DVD case and its Collector's edition which is a plus. I have not gone through the bonus features or anything yet but will soon. O Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Serenity Review: If you're a Serenity/Firefly fan, I'd recommend making the purchase. There are no new features, but the quality of the picture makes it work the price for me -- especially if you can get it on sale. This is one of my all-time favorite movies and I can watch it over and over. I love having it on Blu-ray and regular DVD so I can watch on any TV in the house. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Firefly series Review: Firefly was one of the best shows on television that was canceled due to the corporate suits that know little about good art. The series and the movie Serenity are a joy to watch, great acting, directing,writing, and producing. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: The Best (and Most Overlooked) Film of 2005 Review: Slightly different in tone and details from the Series Firefly, on which it was based. This in no way deters from the film, and makes it accessible to both new viewers and fans of the Series, a ground breaking, genre-busting program that was cut down before it could begin (Curse you, FOX!). This film, Serenity, has it all: Action, Adventure, Mystery, Drama, Comedy...It's unfair to just call it "Science Fiction". It's an Action-packed Comedy Drama Western-themed Science Fiction Film Noir Mystery...A MUST see! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Action Packed Review: The show is very action packed though the story is somwhat disjointed at first. Definetly not for youngsters or those with weak stomachs. Very well shot & presented. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Tense. Compelling. Exciting. Review: I watched the Firefly series first, then Serenity, so that everything would be in order. The action is quite exciting and I felt very tense waiting to see how things would turn out in the end. Full of heart. Some sad bits, but very good film. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Yes, Serenity is really that good Review: When I first saw Serenity I had no idea it had been made after a cancelled TV series. Fortunately the movie stands completely on its own. Extremely well written, acted and directed, this was what I had been waiting to see for a long time in the realm of Sci-Fi.Needless to say I was immediately addicted and became a fan of the series too.Everyone who still wants to see how great moviemaking can be, should watch this at least once in their life. Or twice. Or every week... Answer:
Yes

Yes, there are some plot quirks that are a little distracting, but on the whole it is just what the 'doctor' ordered. And Kaylee's (Jewel Staite) lines are HYSTERICAL!! No spoilers here; you'll have to see it yourself.Don't swallow a bug. See this movie. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Very good - and very intense Review: The movie is very good, just like the TV show Firefly. However, I found the movie to be very intense, just like the TV show. It was difficult for me to tolerate it. I still recommend it, though; I'm just a sensitive person. Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: To Serenity and Beyond! Review: I did not see the TV series before I watched this movie so did not have any pre-conceptions (other than I like Josh Whedon's stuff and was a big Buffy fan).The movie is extremely good and well worth watching. The movie and it's plot have all been described in great detail by other reviews and I won't repeat them here. My only problem with the movie was difficulty understanding the dialogue sometimes. The characters have their own patois that was hard to follow at first (nothing like speaking in Klingon, but enough where it threw me off occassionally). I had to turn on the captioning to make sure I understood what was being said until I got the hang of it. It didn't bother me: I thought it was original and gave another futuristic flavor to the movie.If you are looking for a good movie that will stay with you longer than the butter on your fingers from your microwave popcorn, check out Serenity. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: You'll like it better if you saw Firefly first Review: I just finished watching all 14 episodes of Firefly and tonight I watched Serenity. Yes there is a lot of situations that could have happened to Han Solo, but George Lucas never brought them to the screen, so here it is Firefly and Serenity. And thank you, thank you thank you! I'm a big fan of westerns (Hell on Wheels, Lonesome Dove), SCIFI (Walking Dead, Sarah Connor Chronicles, Star Wars), this is all that and more. I can understand people watching Serenity alone not connecting with it, they needed to see Firefly first to familiarize with the characters and the story. I loved it and wished more Firefly seasons had been done. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Serenity Now! Review: I wish firefly had kept going. I am a big fan of Joss Wheaton I only discovered this show on Amazon. I wish I had seen the episodes for this show while it was on the air. I have a strong feeling that this cast and story line would have been as big a hit as Star trek in its time. If only there had been a way of getting it launched biggeer into the public eye. There are so many people who love Buffy,Angel,Doll house and watch them repeatedly as strange new fun. The color, picture and volume though out was great. I enjoyed it all I will not spoil the delight in watching this movie for anyone else but its worth owning and sharing with friends on movie night!! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Invest the time Review: If you saw Serenity without seeing Firefly (the TV show) first, go back and do your homework. It's a story that really can't be told well in 2 hours...it requires more time.Serenity was made for the people who saw Firefly, a really fantastic television show, apparently not made for today's audience...not made for the folks who prefer "Dancing with the Stars" or watching people eat bugs. It is an intelligent, fresh approach to space science fiction, a genre that was full of stereotypes, faulty physics and improbable aliens. Whedon's vision of the future feels true and relevant.So bravo, Joss Whedon, for some really great work! We hope you can continue your story someday. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Simply the Best Review: The outstanding quality and success of "Serenity" proves that cancelling "Firefly" was the worst decision FOX could have possibly made. Surely the karma of every FOX executive will suffer for it over multiple lifetimes. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Pleased to add it to my library. Review: The box came in a few days earlier than expected. Came as described and met all my expectations. Couldn't be happier. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Great movie Review: Great movie for anyone who has seen the Firefly series or not. Firefly fans will notice that the story they depict in the movie of how Simon got River out of the Academy is different in Serenity than how he describes in Firefly, but nonetheless, great movie. :-) Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Swashbuckling, space-monkey fun Review: Why is this so great, and why are all the recent Stah Wahs flicks so lame? It's all in the characters, Mistah Lucas...all the relationships are so carefully delineated in "Serenity", that you actually care what happens to all the denizens of the old junker firefly...that, capped with great dialogue, thrilling action and stunts and plot elements that don't all center around board meetings, makes for some mighty thrilling, whiz bang entertainment! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Great end to a great series Review: Fantastic movie, classic Firefly humor/pacing. After 14 episodes I finally got to see River kill, well, everyone. Just, all of the people. Amazing. Even now, we get more depth of the characters. If you watched Firefly, it's a must. If you haven't, you should give it a try. It's worth the effort. Thanks again, Joss Whedon. Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: item as described, fast shipping, would buy from again, Review: Overall a good buy for the money. All the same characters as the TV show. If they made another movie I would probably purchase it Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Good Finish Review: I thoroughly enjoyed the series Firefly. It wasn't until the last couple episodes that I really became indignant that there were no more. Too many ends were fraying. Of course I had to watch the movie! It did a good job of bringing things together and tying up those ends. I may end up buying the graphic novels that explain a bit more of what happened in between. Anyway, it was a good story. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: GREAT Review: It took me some time to watch Firefly - but once I saw it I had to have this movie. Recommend to anyone from the Star Wars era. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Everything Star Wars should have been Review: With very little budget, a no-star cast and very little publicity, Joss Weddon has produced a great film with strong characters, cool SFX and a quick and whitty script. It makes The Phantom Menace look weak and over hyped. Buy It!!!!!!!!! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Not to watch at night Review: Before this year, I'd never heard of 'Firefly' or 'Serneity', until my Dad bought the 'Firefly' series and we spent the next month and a half watching 'em over and over again. My view on that:FANTASTICWhen I saw Sernity, the Reavers, battles and humour were brilliant. The loss of two brilliant characters - for those who haven't seen it, I won't say who - was upsetting and Mal's rather harsh way of getting his plans across left me somewhat... awestruck. An unexpected ending filled with blood, suspense at every bend, I strongly recommend this for everyone, even if you din't like the series, you'll love the movie. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: A perfect cast & perfect cinema Review: WOW! I'm not a push-over for any movie...I usually find myself overly critical on many aspects (acting, cinematography, story, effects), but this movie had such a chemistry, all expertly spun by the director...I was blown away. Not overly campy, not too serious & preachy...just good fun with good friends. This is probably on my top 5 list with the likes of Forrest Gump, Heat, Bourne Trilogy, etc. Got the series after seeing the movie and thoroughly enjoyed it also. Hoping for more someday? Please? Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Frirefly Fan Review: If you are a Firefly fan then this is a must have film. Great in HD on the space scenes. Good acting and give the Firefly series closure. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: One of the Best Movies--EVER Review: "Serinity" has shown the public what die hard Joss Whedon fans have known for years: the man is a genius when it comes to characterization, story, and outright excitement. He sets the bar higher for all of us writers. He has shown how truly outstanding movies and television can be.I saw "Serenity" on opening night and was engrosed. Returning to these very three dimensional characters was of course exciting. One thing that truly impressed me was how the movie was written to be easily understood by newcomers to the verse, and to offer so much to existing fans."Serenity" is to 2005 as "Star Wars" was to 1977. SEE IT. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Great Film Review: I went to see it the day it came out not knowing what to expect. I hadn't seen any trailers or any commercials. I thought it was awesome. It won't win any awards or I don't expect it to. But it was enjoyable and I really cared about the characters... so much so that after the movie I barrowed the series from my friend and watched it all in the next 72 hours. There are some jokes that I get more know that I have seen the series. And it is better having seen the series, but the movie got me into the series. So it isn't just a film for fans. Just kick back, have no expectations and you will enjoy this movie. Also I found the trailers after I saw the movie... I felt they misrepresented the film, so don't base your opinion of the film off the trailer. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: The Best Movie Continuation of a TV Series Review: Hahaha... I don't think there is much more I can add to the title of my review. As a movie that was made because of the uproar of fans, Joss Whedon did an amazing job pulling together all the elements of the tv show, trying to tie up some of the loose ends, and making a great run of it. Granted, by watching the series first, you're a little more drawn in by it, but even on it's own, it's an amazing movie. If you want something a little more intellectually stimulating than Star Wars, this is the film for you! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Good action sci-fi, but I liked the TV show better Review: For Firefly fans, this movie is a must watch. I thought the Blu Ray picture and sound was very good. The movie is action packed and has the edge-of-the-seat suspense that keeps it moving along, as the TV show did. However, right from the beginning it doesn't have the same light-hearted feel of the TV show, which I missed. This movie, perhaps the final chapter in the story of the brave Firefly captain and his gallant crew, is more violent, serious, and humorless. I wouldn't watch it again, but I will watch the original TV series again. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Serenity Review: This film is a great wrap up to the series "Firefly". Action, adventure, romance, sci-fi, cowboys...what more could you ask for? Answer:

Is this product review positive? Title: Not as good as the series, but worth a watch Review: Just adding my vote. Not much extra to say.Liked the movie a lot and is a must see if you love the series. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Perfect Sci-Fi Review: This movie is hilarious as well as thrilling. I was not prepared (due to the slight humor of the characters) for the ending, which was as amazing as any movie with the best actors, directors and such of today. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: From Serenity to Firefly Review: If you like Joss Whedon's work, you'll like Serenity. I bought Serenity because it is by Joss Whedon. I had not seen the Firefly TV series, but am a fan of Buffy and Angel. Serenity offers Joss Whedon's wit in a "realistic" sci-fi world. The repartee among the ensemble cast is so enjoyable, I've watched it multiple times just for the dialogue and the laughs it brings. Then I bought the Firefly series. More wit; more laughs. Hopefully, there's a TV channel with enough sense to get Firefly back on the air . . . or a film producer to bring us a Serenity sequel. Answer:
Yes
