A sci-fi western in space, Serenity is a fun ride, with twists and turns at every corner. A follow up to the series Firefly, Serenity tells the story of our band of misfits led by Captain Malcolm “Mal” Reynolds as they unwillingly protect a 17 year old girl (River Tam played by Summer Glau) and her brother Dr. Simon Tam (Sean Maher) from the alliance. The alliance is government entity that is trying to “better” mankind through any means necessary and as the crew begins to realize, that means includes River and her many abilities.
Serenity has all of the action that one looks for in a science fiction film such as this, but it also has numerous humorous moments, as well as some heart. The acting is a bit cheesy at times, but the surprises make it well worth the ride. They jump right into the plot and there is null a dull moment. Again a fun ride, well worth seeing if you are a fan of this genre of film. And even if you are not, cause they are some shirtless dudes. 4 out of 5 monkeys,
