The year is 2005. "Firefly" fans have been starving for the mischievous crew of Serenity and their adventures for quite some time now and they have been using any way at their disposal to shout their outrage and ask for more. At last, results. The cinematic release of "Serenity", the movie based on the series, is for many (including myself) a dream come true. Simply put, the movie is great for any science fiction fan. If you are a "Firefly" fan, shame on you if you haven't watched this yet. The special effects are beautiful and a huge upgrade from the original TV effects, which were already quite good to start with. The action is fast and satisfying. The characters and humor just as great as ever. And we finally get the conclusion to the series' mysteries. "What more could we ask for?", I hear you say. What stops this movie from being a true classic is that it tries to cram years of story development (that would have otherwise happened slowly on the TV series) in one go. There is just too much happening to take in. The signature style and humor of "Firefly" is there, but it's not given enough time to breathe and fully showcase itself. However, that doesn't stop this movie from being one of the best science fiction movies of recent years. Find out why below! (Before the Reavers eatcha!)
