I’ll admit, I was one of the few who watched “Firefly” when it was on, but I was lukewarm about the idea of the show moving to the big screen. How often does that happen, anyway? Cancelled shows just do not get made into movies. Hats off to creator Joss Whedon (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “Angel”) and the show’s fans (called “browncoats”) for keeping the dream alive.
I just watched “Serenity” and it is a nice piece of sci-fi storytelling. For those that are worried about not having seen the TV show, stop…it really doesn’t matter. Whedon does a nice job of summarizing the situation and getting everyone up to speed. The bottom line is: if you like sci-fi, you’ll probably like this movie.
