Directed by: Joss Whedon
Starring: Nathan Fillion, Gina Torres, and
Chiwetel Ejiofor
In the 26th
century, the universe is a very different place. Mankind lives in another galaxy. In this futuristic world, most planets are
controlled by an authoritarian government known as the Alliance. Vigilante justice rules the rest of the
universe. River (Summer Glau) is a
psychic who somehow ends up in a room with key Alliance officials and learns
some critical government secrets. She’s
in a lab being held by Alliance scientists.
With the help of her brother Simon (Sean Maher), she escapes the
Alliance facilities and boards the rebel transport ship Serenity. Pursued by the
Operative (Chiwetel Ejiofor), Captain Malcolm Reynolds (Nathan Fillion) must
lead River, Simon, and his rogue crew to safety.
Before he
solved murders as fictional writer Richard Castle, Nathan Fillion starred in Firefly, a show that was gone too soon. Serenity
gives fans one last taste of a great show that ended prematurely. In this action-packed flick full of dazzling special
effects, the most important asset is the story.
The film is driven by a good story with well-developed characters. Serenity
is a cult classic in the making. Relive
the magic of this fun television series on the big screen when you get a chance. Both the show and the film are rare gems.
