  Serenity Movie Review
Serenity isn't looking to mimic Star Wars, which might be why it works so well.
In fact, Serenity is actually a sort of closure for the vision he had several years ago when he launched the FOX television series "Firefly", which met its cancellation date quite quickly.
Serenity thankfully takes a more contained approach, smartly opting for a single storyline that could be resolved in a two-hour running length.

 Serenity Movie Review - Serenity Movie Trailer - The Boston Globe   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
"Serenity" is the name of both an enormous space-faring jalopy in the 26th century and the hotly anticipated film the ship sails through.
"Serenity" marks a miraculous moment for the 4.4 million people who weekly watched "Firefly" before Fox canceled it in 2002, and for the hordes of fans who've made the DVD a bestseller.
The movie's director of photography, Jack N. Green, was Clint Eastwood's longtime cinematographer, and Ruth Carter's excellently weird costumes suggest Marc Jacobs in 1875.

 MovieFreak.com - "Serenity" Movie Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
But successful theatrical adaptations of acclaimed TV shows are few and far between, and as Whedon’s choice to make his theatrical debut “Serenity” presented a minefield even his famous vampire slayer would have trouble navigating her way through.
While it probably works a little better if you’re familiar with the series, “Serenity” is so well written, acted and directed that the separation in enjoyment by those in the know and those who are clueless is virtually negligible.
As much as I want “Serenity” to be a smash hit, the reality is a movie based on a cult phenomenon with a complex backstory and a multitude of main characters with no movie stars (or recognizable faces) is facing an uphill battle at the box office.

 IGN: Children of Men and Serenity Sequel Talk
Serenity and Children both have futuristic themes, but Ejiofor says the similarities end there.
"I mean, Serenity was different in the sense that it was a very kind of broad, operatic science fiction with all the great stuff that that has.
And this is much more...it almost feels like a drama that just has a scientific, or a sci-fi touch because it's set in the future, but could easily be set in the present.

Sean Maher is Simon, a physician who has discarded a medical research career and devoted his life to protecting his sister, River (Summer Glau), who possesses powers that are a threat not only to the forces after her, but to the crew of the ship who have given her sanctuary as well.
The bonding between them is going to turn this into a movie that I think may actually be quite different from the genre movies we have become used to,” says Whedon.
Serenity was scheduled to be released in the U.S. on April 22, 2005, but was delayed until September 30, 2005.

Their unabashed adulation of the project produces the same level of irritation as those who said Titanic was a romance for the ages, or that there will never be a movie as scary as The Blair Witch Project.
So it is with Serenity, an amiable B-level spinoff of a cult sci-fi series whose reach clearly exceeds its grasp.
The flaws settle beneath the surface of Serenity like sand in the turtle's shell: itching and scratching and detracting from the better elements on display.

 Serenity - Movie, TV & DVD Forums
Anyways...Serenity kicked major ass and it wasn't made for any cynical film fans that were going in expecting some sort of rejuvenation of the sci-fi genre.
At it's heart, Serenity is made for the people who spent countless hours watching Firefly, Buffy, and Angel during their runs on T.V. It was created as one giant love letter from Joss Whedon to all his fans.
Plain and simple, Serenity is about the relationships between people and what they'll do to protect the people they love.

 Serenity Movie Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
As you've probably heard Serenity is written, produced, and directed by Josh Whedon the creative mind behind Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel.
It is not necessary to have watched the series enjoy this movie, the writer and actors do a good job of establishing the personalities of each character in a short period of time.
Watching even a few of the TV episodes, however, may enhance the attachment the viewer may develop for certain characters as their fortunes and survival are questionable in the face of rapidly escalating predicaments.

This movie had a very interesting marketing campaign, which in the end, was one of the reasons I bought the DVD (besides my crippling addiction to buying DVD’s that I’ve never seen).
I was pretty skeptical before I started the movie, but Serenity pulled me in right away and I didn’t have time for skepticism anymore.
I think part of the reason I doubted Serenity in the beginning is that any current space adventure movie has to live under the shadow of Star Wars (3,4,5,6).

I have watched Serenity (the movie - the first section of the DVD series set is also called Serentiy, but is different) so many time I have lost count (not as much as Howard Hughes watched Ice Station Zebra, rest assured, but lots).

I am most fond of those that remind me of the movie, and which do so by collecting the various identifiable themes and presenting them in their cinematic context.
There are, absolutely, some very nice passages but the bulk of the CD's roughly 50 minutes is essentially background music and little of what one would think of as contributing to the emotion of the film.
David Newman's score to Joss Whedon's Serenity does not capture the mood or feel of the movie as Greg Edmondson's did for the television series Firefly.
