Whedon's years in TV have helped him hone a clean, efficient, entertaining style grounded in character, camaraderie and his trademark dialogue...March 30, 2011
New viewers will be a little bit lost, and old fans won't get quite everything they wanted, but there's enough going on in Serenity and it's all so much fun that it doesn't matter.May 12, 2006
Go out and see Joss Whedon's witty whizbang of an action movie, or we will kill a kitten.January 15, 2008
Hardcore fans will undoubtedly be satisfied but its unlikely this will spread much beyond that audience, and even they will find it lacks that human spark and freshness that made the series distinctive and appealing.October 01, 2005
Taut, immersive, and alternately hilarious and heartbreaking, a well-balanced blend of whooping Wild West action and space opera.June 24, 2006
The settings and tone are hyper-real, yet the human behaviour is grounded and credible, the moral conflicts complex and involving. Shiny, intelligent fun.October 01, 2005
Serenity isn't about effects. It's about narrative and characters, and it does a solid job in both areas.October 03, 2005
It has a great sense of humor about it, an attractive cast and it's just a lot of fun.August 10, 2012
After suffering through a summer crammed with TV shows being remade into movies, it's refreshing to see a movie based on a TV show that is so entertaining that it actually makes you want to go and see the show of which the movie was created.September 23, 2007
For what it is -- viewed as filmmaking in and of itself -- Serenity is tense and smoothly put together.June 06, 2007
Joss Whedon makes a rousing feature-directing debut, exploiting the cult status of his short-lived series Firefly to continue it on the big screen.October 18, 2008
In the end you are left with the feeling that Whedon works better on television than in the cinema.
