brilliant sci-fi

Science fiction fantasy Serenity is Joss Whedon's directorial debut in film and follows on from the much acclaimed but short-lived TV series Firefly. The crew of the spaceship Serenity are put in a dangerous position when they are joined by Simon Tam and his mysterious sister River who is carrying a secret that the Alliance will fight to protect. Serenity is a fantastic mix of action, comedy and drama, and is a really refreshing film. Fast, funny and full of likeable characters, Serenity creates a breathtaking world and manages to reinvigorate the sci-fi genre with new life. The special effects are simply brilliant, the fights are incredible and there are some great performances too. Serenity does not disappoint.
