	Serenity film review
		A noisy, messy and sometimes confused spectacle, Serenity is the latest big screen spin-off from a TV series, but the twist this time around is that the TV series in question was cancelled after only eleven episodes.
		Set in the future, the film follows the exploits of the crew of Serenity, a battered spaceship that has seen better days, notably in the war against the Alliance forces that the crew lost.
		The fanfare of hype certainly doesn't deliver for Serenity, which is unlikely to convert the uninitiated to the original series.

	Locus Online: Gary Westfahl reviews Serenity
		Pondering what sort of line should conclude his film, the talented Whedon came up with several wonderful possibilities; and while he might be faulted for using every single one of them, one after another, he at least had the wisdom to actually close with the most irreverent one.
		But after all, science fiction films that overtly or covertly oppose scientific advancement are hardly a novelty and, in fact, include in their numbers many of the genre's most cherished masterpieces.
		With this culminating film, he may have said all that he can say through the medium of this universe, so that film sequels or a return to series television, while still reflecting his considerable talents, would be sterile and repetitive.

		Based on the cheers and applause that began as soon as the lights dimmed, the theater was primarily filled with fans of the series who wanted to be the very first to see their beloved show make the leap to the big screen.
		The result is SERENITY, a film slated for release in September of 2005 (it was original set for April, but the studio decided that it would face less competition in the fall), written and directed by Whedon.
		SERENITY ties more loose ends than I had anticipated (although not all of them that remained from the series), and the film had many surprises and shocks in store.

	Serenity Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Much of that is given merely window treatment in the film, leaving a strange beast behind that's different altogether from both the original show, or a completely new sci-fi film franchise familiar to no-one.
		The biggest disappointment of the film though is some of the short shrift the characters are given.
		In the film however she's useless, reduced to barely any lines and lacking any of the rich depth her character brought to the show.

	Serenity : film review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The story follows Malcolm Reynolds, captain of the space ship Serenity, who leads his crew round the galaxy performing whatever jobs need to be undertaken, be they legal or illegal.
		Serenity is, quite simply, the sci-fi film of the year.
		Although it helps if you've seen the TV show, it also stands alone as a film in its own right - and not just one to be enjoyed by the stereotypical sci-fi geek and nerd.

	Foster on Film - Space: Serenity
		It is up to the crew of the Serenity, and old friends Shepard Book (Ron Glass) and the courtesan, Inara (Morena Baccarin), to keep River out of government hands, and finally discover why they want her so badly.
		We also have to accept a computer nerd with a hacking complex the size of a small planet and that Reevers, who lack the intelligence to speak and the emotional control to avoid attacking anything in sight with a spear, somehow maintain a fleet with impressive firepower.
		Serenity isn't at the bottom if I were to compare it against each of the weekly shows, nor is it at the top.

	Ponderance: That Serenity Post...
		Serenity is remarkable not just as a film, but for the fact that it got to be a film at all.
		The crew of Serenity are the bloggers, podcasters, citizen journalists and pirates of their day and speak loudly to those today who aren't evil, just different to the conservative far right norm hailed and embraced by US and Australian governments.
		One potential future for Serenity that I haven't mentioned is that Universal may use the film's extremely positive word of mouth to push for a franchise anyway.

	UGO.com Film/TV - Serenity Review - UGO Blasts Off with Serenity
		Serenity, the feature film debut from writer-director Joss Whedon (Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Angel), based on his short lived (and completely network neglected) television series, Firefly, has been released, and you don't want to be the only one who hasn't seen this warp-speed space odyssey come Monday morning.
		Just a quick recap for those who somehow managed to miss the media frenzy: Serenity, an always-in-need-of-fixing space ship, is home to a group of fast-talking renegade space cowboys and cowgirls, led by a man who fought on the losing side of an intergalactic civil war.
		In Serenity, it's no holds barred, no one is safe action, and Whedon is ruthless and calculating (in a good way) in toying with your emotions and making you care deeply about the characters.

	Serenity Film Review - Time Out Film
		The worst fate that could befall ‘Serenity’ would be if it failed to reach a non-genre audience, because it works very hard to welcome newcomers to its textured futuristic mythology, while daring to push existing fans way beyond their comfort zone.
		Serenity is an excellent film full of Wheden trademarks.
		Serenity is thus far my favourite film of the year.

	Serenity
		The film, titled Serenity, would be both a hybrid of the continued adventures of the Serenity crew and a stand-alone story that would engage moviegoers who had no exposure to Firefly.
		He decided to revolve much of the action of the film around the mysterious character of River Tam, the child prodigy taken by the Alliance and experimented on for unrevealed purposes—until she's rescued by her brother and smuggled aboard Serenity.
		Experiencing the film with 300 wildly enthusiastic fans, who—despite the fact that the print was extremely rough—laughed, cheered and applauded every beat prompted the studio to rethink their release plans for the film.

		The "Serenity" poster that is available is actually a cross between the two, the original River with the Firefly from this one, which is good, but not great.
		This book is an essential purchase for fans of Serenity, the excellent sci-fi Western film released recently in cinemas, continuing the story of Captain Mal Reynolds and his crew that begun in the short lived TV series Firefly.
		Serenity was an original and enjoyable film, and this companion does it justice, in no small part to the level of involvement Joss had with it.

	Serenity (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Serenity is a 2005 science fiction space western film written and directed by Joss Whedon.
		Among fans, the film is commonly referred to as the "Big Damn Movie" or abbreviated "BDM", a reference to a line from a Firefly episode in which Mal and Zoe call themselves "big damn heroes" after rescuing River and Simon.
		Serenity is a rare occurrence in the industry, as canceled TV shows are rarely continued in major motion pictures.

		It takes a support from the fans and as well as the producers to convince a studio that there is life outside the TV medium and that with the right marketing, their failed project could be resurrected.
		The film quickly brings you in the fold without having to explain what the TV series was about.
		At the start of the film, a young woman is being held captive by a group of scientists when her brother, pretending to be someone else, turns the tables on them and frees her.

	Serenity movie review, In Film Australia
		I hadn't even heard of Firefly (the show on which Serenity is based) till it was cancelled, and it was only due to the film that I decided to have a look.
		Serenity does an excellent job of introducing the characters and concepts from the show, while wrapping things up in a self contained plotline requiring no knowledge of previous events.
		One small problem I had with the film was that it moves a little too fast, trying to pack a bit too much information into its two hour running time, but that really is a minor gripe.

	Total Film - Serenity (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Because with Serenity, Whedon has delivered a universe as quasi-philosophical as The Matrix, a crew dynamic as soap operatic as Star Trek and a sense of fun and wonder last seen in a galaxy far, far away.
		What follows is a suitably epic journey where practically everyone is pushed to their limits and forced to take a good, hard look at themselves.
		Most pleasingly, when the film needs to get dark in the second act, it gets really dark, setting up a proper sense of fear that things are not going to end well.

	Amazon.com: Serenity: Music: David Newman (Composer) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		In looking at the selections, I note that roughly 2/3 of the tracks chosen are from the point in the film where things "start happening", essentially continuing sequentially from there to the end.
		If my reaction to the film was any indication, the music must have been a powerful tension builder.
		But from a released soundtrack standpoint, the tracks chosen for the CD do not stand on their own and the mix of cultures, etc., are much more mishmash than concerto.

		River, we learn in the opening sequence, is a fugitive from the Alliance, which spent big bucks developing her as a psychic weapon.
		This film is intended for grown-up adults and smart teenagers, and the story never seems dictated by what might be called the action-figure imperative -- the need for a movie to drive toy and video-game sales.
		At film's end, Serenity once again flies off into the wild blue yonder, one crew member short, but well situated for a sequel.

		Though including nine "Firefly" characters plus two new ones (played by Chiwetel Ejiofor and David Krumholtz) was a challenge for Whedon, it wasn't as complex as opening up the action for the big screen, making it fun and accessible to unfamiliar viewers while pleasing the faithful, and doing it all for under $45 million.
