Even in light of all the hyperbole flying around about this movie, Serenity was as good as I had hoped, which is saying a lot. It’s certainly the best TV-to-movie movie ever (a neat feat considering it’s based on a failed TV series), and I’d say better than most sci-fi you’ll see. It has fun chases, it has a very scary set of villains, a super-cool assassin, it keeps with the original series’ knowledge that things don’t make sound in space and, most of all, it has heart. I’m disappointed it didn’t do a little bit better at the box office, but still, if you go see one space western this year, go see Serenity.
