My Review of "Serenity"

For my next review, I decided on the sci-fi flick "Serenity". Here is the description from IMDB:

"Captain Malcom Reynolds finds himself running from a skilled Alliance operative who wants River Tam, and who will stop at nothing to get her; meanwhile, River's capabilities become more clear to the crew of Serenity."

For fans of the defunct Fox series, "Firefly", the announcement of this film was great news. Having watch the show myself, I have to say that "Serenity" is a great staple of the science-fiction genre. While the cast consists of no big names, the actors in this movie are right-fit in their roles. The writer/director of this film is Joss Whedon, who is known for creating the hit shows "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel". To just classify this film as a science-fiction movie would be a disservice to this film. Joss Whedon created a new genre when he created the precursor to "Serenity", "Firefly". This genre is space western, and I have to say that even thought I don't enjoy westerns, both "Firefly" and "Serenity" were fun to watch.

My review for this film is: Rent Immediately.

Until next time, happy movie watching.
