The film displays great loads of action , abundant FX , suspense , terror and results to be extremely entertaining . It begins with a real sense of wonder with stimulating action set pieces illuminating the full-blown adventures of the Serenity crew and winding up into overlong bombastic special-effects when the Serenity confronts enemy crafts with several scenes that have you on the edge of your seat .
