Serenity
If you like spaceships and stuff then this is a good movie to pass the time.
Though I did not know the back story and the early episodes from the television show I never faced any problem. The movie may not offer anything new but it does deliver everything with a dose of freshness and fun.
There are some weird things going on here. For example, in the days of space colonization people are still using matter based weapons. Those wonderful energy weapons from Star Wars and Star Trek are nowhere to be found. Apparently this one was meant to be the Wild West meets Star Trek but it never struck me that way.
Further, the physics is all awry, how do you find one solar system with dozens of planets (and hundreds of moons) that you can make habitable via terraforming? Huh, not done. Then there are psychics being trained as weapons.
Ignoring these minor quibbles the plot is simplistic and the characters are stereotyped but there is a strange energy in the movie as it plods along familiar lines that makes you want to watch it.
There were fewer space battles (actually, only one) than I would have liked but it doesn't interfere with the movie as such.
A good go over all if you don't mind the quirks but a little too routine to be outstanding.
As a twist, there is no one villain that is revealed. Guess there will be sequels.

I loved this movie. I think it's a really good movie that actually passes a message to you when you finish it. I've watched the series before and although you don't need it to enjoy the movie, they really make a difference, because this is like the final episode.
It's like just watching the end of a movie, you still see what happens but, you can't really feel for the characters no matter how good they were done because you don't really know them and haven't watched their development.
Don't expect any sequels, this was the end of the show and everything in the current plot got resolved. Although the series, Firefly, was highly praised by critics, it was canceled because of the low number of viewers. Still, they managed to get a movie out of a canceled TV show. That alone should give everyone a reason to go watch it.
It's the highest case you can see of fans, no matter how few they were, and makers alike getting so in love with an universe that they managed something that everyone wouldn't ever think could happen.
