Serenity


'Firefly' based feature film outdoes all three recent Star Wars films in terms of wit, charm, and personality.

Set 500 years in the future, Serenity puts the a highly psychic girl, River Tam, and her protective brother in the ship of Malcom Reynolds. A very dangerous assassin sent out by "the Alliance" is on their trail and will stop at nothing to get her, putting the crew in jeopardy.

The film is reminiscent of the original 1976 Star Wars film, with Nathan Fillion's Malcom very much in a role similar to Harrison Ford's Han Solo. The entire film's tenor hangs off of his wit and doubts. While there is a high-concept storyline in the background, the real fun is the interaction between Malcom and his crew.
