Review of Serenity (2015) by Christopher H — 27 Apr 2012
The look and feel of the Firefly series is immensely upgraded in this blockbuster-like science fiction action film. Serenity picks up where the series leaves off, but attempts to be a stand-alone piece to which I feel it's not.
While the characters tend to come off as slightly different versions of themselves from the series, the relationships between the characters are in much need of their back stories. Without them, we never really know what the connection between Mal and Inara is or how long Simon and Kaylee have been toying with being lovers.
None-the-less, Joss Whedon's directorial debut is nothing short of brilliant, with enough action and adventure to rival any space/science fiction film.
