I cant wait until Serenity comes out! I dont really care if its any good, I bet it will be though. I just want to see the Firefly crew back together, it was such a great show. I'm sure Serentiy will be awesome.

Andy,
Is this movie is to follow for people who never watched Firefly? I never caught the series, but kind of want to see the movie.

Patrick, the movie can be watched easily by all, obviously they do take some things for granted and with the knowledge of the show behind you, you can gleem much more from it, but I would not say this is for fans only.

Excellent review Andy. I gave it the same rating. Could've gotten a 5, but I think it does take at least a little for granted as far as prior knowledge. It's a lot like watching Empire without having seen A New Hope. Still a great movie, but even better if you've seen A New Hope.

And... I think some of the effects were a little weak. Not all, it has some good moments, but a little bigger budget and maybe a little less CGI would have helped.

But otherwise, fanastic sci-fi movie. Let's hope we get more.
