The crew of the ship Serenity tries to evade an assassin sent to recapture one of their number who is telepathic.
Can I just express my gratitude that I watched this way after all the hype? I would have cried if I had to wait 2 years to see the ending of the Firefly series.
The summary for this movie is not exactly descriptive but I think that's mostly because if you wanted to see Serenity then you had already watched Firefly and so you don't need a whole lot to go on. The fact that the ending was turned into a whole movie was just freaking awesome...enough said.
Serenity is the sister film to the tv series Firefly (if you didn't already get that). This movie was action packed and let me just mention they were NOT afraid to kill off characters. Granted it was more towards the end of the movie, but this one was not exactly a happy wrap up.
River, the telepathic one, is being chased by the central government because they fear she knows too much (they experimented on her brain for years). The Firefly crew finds out this knowledge and has to overcome some serious obstacles before saving the world. Of course.
That's it. That's all I'm saying because like every review of this movie has ever said this is a cult classic. You can't just pick this one out of a line up and say, "I'm gonna watch that!"
If you haven't seen Firefly you're not going to watch this and if you have seen Firefly there's no way you'll skip it.
Overall 5 stars. I would give more if I could. It was THAT awesome!
