Joss Whedon is notorious for both knowing his fans and knowing how to please them. Unlike some stars, Whedon knows where he bread is buttered and consistently makes every effort to please the people who keep him in business. Thus is a the case with "Firefly." When the show was canceled, Whedon promised the fans to fight tooth and nail for some kind of revival. Nor were they empty promises, either. Though new episodes of "Firefly" will likely never see a television screen again, Whedon delivered "Serenity," a quality piece that continued, and in many ways concluded, the "Firefly" story. Now, Whedon is out to please fans again with this extras-laden edition of "Serenity." Many fans were obviously disappointed with the bare-bones DVD that was previously released, and Whedon answered the call with this stunning re-release that includes (gasp!) a cast and director commentary. In short, anyone who loves "Firefly" owes it to themselves and Joss Whedon to add this gem to their collection. Thanks for reading. If you found this review helpful, please vote "yes" at the bottom of this entry. Happy watching!Read full review
I am a total and forever fan of the Firefly/Serenity universe. Joss Whedon and this great cast make you care about these characters. If you like SciFi and/or Westerns this is a must see..which will lead to a must own. I own the Firefly boxed set and both the original and Special Edition of Serenity...so I can loan them out an make new converts. Its the kind of thing you will want to watch over and over again. Its got it all..effects..dialog..music...and a great story. If all you want is special effects keep looking. If you want a real winner buy this one.
Set in the far future, Firefly depicts a unique universe, the likes of which have never been seen before or since the show aired in 2002. Created by Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Firefly takes us on a jouney through this fantastic setting and lets us view it through the eyes of a misfit group of smugglers aboard the ship Serenity. Due to the fact that every planet's technology differs, the characters' adventures cover a wide range of genres, from Blade-Runner-esque hi-tech action, to wild west shootouts, and even mideval swordfights. Firefly was such a phenominal hit with viewers, it was cancelled after only eleven episodes. Box set collects those eleven, and also includes three that were never aired. This one science fiction show that needs to be seen by all.
If you are a fan of Firefly OF COURSE why the hell would you now want to watch this. This movie is basically suppose to wrap up the Firefly series. This is a more glamourous version. But if you have not seen Firefly and you watched this first this will be confusing. The movie has some slow scenes but Im telling you the scenes with River in it are amazing (She takes a more prominent role in here than the Tv show). The movie re released with commentary and some others which is cool to watch. There are some Comic Con shots which if you attend it maybe youll see yourself in there! LOL If you loved Firefly and havent watched this movie yet...umm...be prepared to be sad at the end...because a couple of things happen which made me very sad too....SO the point is, some big network tv guy better re relased this show on TV because it is one of the best shows I have ever watched! And the movie is great too! Characters: Capt. Malcom MAL Reynolds: Captain of his ship of course! Very cold, and blaintantly rude...but he is very witty and funny! Basically your classic gunslinger...this guy can right and shoot! Zoe Washburne: Mals right hand WOman! She is such a strong female which is why many girls watch this show too! She is serious all the time and can too fight and shoot like no tomarro! Hoban WASH Washburne: Zoe and Wash are a married couple. Its weird because Wash is such a weakling! LOL. But he is a genius at flying. He is their pilot and no one can escape the reavers like him -- Im a leaf in the wind watch how I soar! Inara Serra: Beautiful woman! She is a companion (Sorta like a classy prostitute!). She is very educated in the arts and especially in seduction. Her and Mal have some sort of sexual tension going on! Jayne Cobb: Oh...Jayne! He is the bad ass in the group. He is just a big brute that curses and fights all the time! He is also very funny. I never seen someone own so many knives and guns before! Kaylee Frye: She is such a sweetie! She is the ship's mechanic! She gets down and dirty and knows how to fix a ship! Even so she is such a girly girl! Never have anything negative to say...always happy! She is in LOVE with Simon! Dr. Simon Tam: He causes a lot of trouble to the Serenity crew! He was not part of the original crew. He was originally just a passenger but after finding out he is a fugitive the crew had to escape with him. Anywho he is a genius Doctor so its not bad to have him on the ship. He is so consumed by River he don't notice Kaylee to much. River Tam: She plays a small role in the TV show but a greater role in the Movie. She is the reason why her and her brother are wanted. She is a genius and the alliance took her to try to turn her into a weapon. She knew their secrets. But because she is crazy you don't know whats going on in that head of hers. She can act like a baby one day and the next day destroy a horde of reavers with such grace! Best character ever! Shepherd Book: He was originally a passanger but end up being part of the crew. he plays a minor role in the TV and Movie. He is basically there to give advice and support. He surprisingly knows how to fight too!Read full review
