Mal has second thoughts after discovering that two boxes of Alliance goods the crew has been hired to steal are full of badly needed medical supplies headed for the mining town of Paradiso.
In order to secure a job transporting cargo off-planet for a client, Mal attends a social event where a dance with Inara ends with him challenged to a swordfight to defend her honor.
As Serenity's air slowly but surely leaks away, we're treated to a series of flashbacks, from Mal's point of view, that fills in some missing background for the original crew members, including Mal's early interactions with each of them.

 "Serenity" - Salon
There's only one problem with "Serenity": It's not "Firefly," the TV show that first gave these characters, and this story, life in autumn 2002 on the Fox network.
Both "Firefly" (which is available on DVD) and this new movie incarnation of it detail the adventures and tribulations of a loner-rebel named Malcolm Reynolds (Nathan Fillion) and the ragtag crew of his space vessel, Serenity.
The "Firefly" episodes burn slowly at first, but their emotional heat intensifies as you learn to live, and breathe, with the show's characters.

 Strange Horizons Reviews: Two Views: Serenity, reviewed by Mahesh Raj Mohan and Niall Harrison
The introduction of Serenity's crew is nicely done, with each character's tics and personalities easily established in a long one-take scene that meanders around most of the ship.
The crew of Serenity certainly struggle in the Alliance's overly-ordered universe, but the ship is their source of peace.
The obligatory space battle—in which Serenity is not a participant, but simply trying to scramble through—is one of the more memorable I've seen in some time.

Serenity lands at the Canton Mudworks.  The main industry of the area (and indeed the whole planetoid) is the production of a mud product used in the manufacture of clay and ceramics etc. Jayne was at the place a few years ago and is concerned that he will be remembered.

 The SF Site Featured Review: Serenity
Although Serenity picks up shortly after the final episode of Firefly, familiarity with the television series is not essential to enjoy the film.
In fact, one of the areas in which Serenity excels is the ability to present background information in a way which doesn't feel like an infodump and gives information to fans of the series as well as those who haven't seen it.
Given that many of the actors in the film had fourteen television episodes to find their characters, it isn't surprising that the nine costars all have a good handle on their roles.
