I must admit that I have never watched the "Firefly" television series. Therefore I went into this film not knowing anything about its universe other than it looked like an interesting science fiction film. To be fair, "Serenity" is a decent sci-fi with some interesting ideas and pretty well made, considering that it was not a big budget production. "Serenity" reminded me of the original "Planet of the Apes" and Issac Asimov's Foundation novels.
On the other hand, "Serenity" does not really stand out in the realm of sci-fi as it has elements of "Start Wars", "Star Trek" and "Dune" among others. Joss Whedon has made a solid entertainment. Nothing truly memorable though.
The plot deals with a group of futuristic swashbucklers taking a couple of special people who has secrets the bad guys want as well. Shades of "The Hidden Fortress" and Han Solo abound.
Rated PG-13 for some violence
Aspect Ratio 2.35
