jetskiboybze Review of Serenity

Serenity (2005)

Shame this great film was nessecary in the first place.

Didnt see Firefly till after seeing this film and hunted it down because of it so this review is about the film not the awesome series I discovered as a result. Firstly I loved the plot, not overly complicated yet nicely predictable to a pleasant happyish ending. Like others I was unhappy with certain characters demises (even more so after I watched the series) but thought unlike others that they were worthwhile in the context of the film. Where the film really scored for me was in the cast (including Serenity herself). How do you get 4 seriously hot women to play together? Morena Baccarin in this role was one of the most perfect women Ive ever seen (better than in Deadpool) and Jewel Staite wasnt far behind. As to the male contingent I thought Nathan Fillion was born for this role and he was ably supported by the others especially a hilarious Adam Baldwin as Jane. Chiwetel Ojiofor was superb as the villainous rascal fitting in nicely as the obvious new operative to the ex operative from Mals crew. Cameos were all done well. All in all a superb film that afterwards rewatching I thought did a great job of tying up the series loose ends To raters below 5 I say please get a life and try to enjoy some really nice escapism done really well. Perhaps you were paid by Fox to try and justify their abysmal Firefly cancellation decision or maybe you are just really sad no life people who enjoy trashing stuff.
