The films centers around Captain Malcolm Reynolds, a hardened veteran (on the losing side) of a galactic civil war, who now ekes out a living pulling off small crimes and transport-for-hire abroad his ship, Serenity. He leads a small, eclectic crew who are the closest thing he has left to family-squabbling, insubordinate and undyingly loyal. When Mal takes on two new passengers
The film was made after the series “Firefly” (2002) was canceled. It is an attempt to wrap up the series.
This presentation has everything, including space, cowboys, militaries, and every cliché in the book.
Of course, this must be much more for the old TV series fans. However, as a standalone film, it is just one of those things. Standard ninja bad people, and outlaws vs. empires. S-e-x-y women and bare feet. Speaking of feet, the internet has blogged about Summer’s feet. I cannot repeat it here.
Be sure to watch the extra DVD goodies (bonus material) and the BD-Live: My scenes. The U-Control function can be a tad distracting. When you see what they were trying to accomplish, the next time through the presentation will be more enjoyable. The Blu-ray treatment is impressive, but I never saw the original to compare.
I must admit, once I saw the Blu-ray and watched the supplemental information, this brought the film alive the second time through.
The basic story is about the lives of the crew and visitors on the spaceship Serenity as they are pursued by the authorities for the knowledge that they may possess that can disrupt the perfect society. Does the Crew know what they carry, and will they find the secret before they are squashed like a bug?
