Just got back from seeing Serenity.
As a fan of the "firefly" series, I thought it was great, but cannot comment for those that haven't followed the series. I mean, I suppose enough is explained within the film to give you a basic idea of the events that have occured during the series, and the character history...etc, but I feel that the fans of the show would've definately got a little more out of this film.
A few unexplained elements of the story that weren't covered in the series were explained rather well, and gave the overall tale a little more depth.
There's REAVERS! Lots of 'em...part of the film actually explains how they came into existence, and I thought the way they tied this into it was awesome.
I have to say, there was at least ONE death I wasn't expecting.:( Those that have watched the show will know who and when upon seeing it...a crappy way for a good character to go out.
Funny, sad, dark, good characters and an intelligent, driven nemesis added to the mix.
Even if there's no sequels or another ongoing series (both as rumoured), I feel they completed the story very well. See it if you're a fan of firefly, if not, I'd suggest checking out firefly first.
8/10.
