Serenity

Serenity (2005, Joss Whedon)

No one watched Firefly when it was on television. So when Joss Whedon miraculously got the chance to "finish" the series on the big screen, it can’t be that surprising that no one watched it in theaters. A real shame, since Serenity is one of the great space adventure films of all time, taking place in one of the most wonderfully realized universes ever created. Whedon’s trademark wit and eye for character ensure that this is not just a spaceship action movie, but a story about the people on that spaceship, whom we grow quite fond of (just in time for Whedon to twist a knife in our guts in the final reel). Serenity is the best space opera since The Empire Strikes Back and it’s cleverly staged action, its sense of humor, its attention to detail and it’s HEART put the far more expensive Star Wars prequels to shame. I know people who fell in love with Serenity and then realized there was a TV series that came before it. This is not just a movie for fans. It’s a movie that makes its own fans. It’s a masterpiece.
