Firefly fans have been praying for
Serenity ever since Fox canceled
Joss Whedon's cult "space Western" show in its first season. And boy, have their prayers been answered.
Serenity continues the adventures of the ship's ragtag mercenary crew in grand fashion, as they're pursued across the universe by an implacable badass of an assassin with an armada at his disposal.
It all might move a bit too fast for the uninitiated, but Whedon's hybrid vision does walk a lot of fine lines very well: It's equal parts deadly action, deadpan comedy and knotty mystery. It's faithful to the die-hards and still deserves a larger audience. And most of all, it's a popcorn film that dares to be about faith and consequences (in more than a half-assed way). Grant yourself the wisdom to see it.
