Might as well repost this topic.



The movie stars Nathan Fillion as Captain Malcolm "Tight Pants" Reynolds, Gina Torres as Zoe, Alan Tudyk as Wash, Summer Glau as River, and so on and so on.
It's based on a cancelled TV series Firefly that was on Fox during, I believe, 2002. It was cancelled for reasons purely Fox's fault (I refuse to place any blame on anyone else ), but a growing fanbase was able to bring it back to the silver screen through outstanding DVD sales, which convinced Universal Studios to get Joss Whedon to develop a film project out of Firefly.

The film debuted at number 2 at the box office (behind Flightplan) and is currently at 80% on RottenTomatoes.com, which is really good.

This movie needs to gross $80 million worldwide in order for Universal to see it profitable to make two more sequels (for which all of the actors, minus Alan Tudyk and Ron Glass, are signed on for).

So make sure you go watch the movie this weekend or sometime soon! Take a friend or two or five! Watch it again if you liked it the first time!

Plus, check out the TV series if you haven't yet. It's a great little show.

Plan on going to see it friday. I love firefly. Sucks that fox always seems to cancel good shows. Tidus, firefly, and of course family guy.

80 million! i think that might be hard....i heard it was a good movie and all, but i donno...good luck to them!

Freaks & Geeks, Undeclared, Wonderfalls, and the list continues... LOL

yep freaks & geeks though that was on nbc if I remember but still a great show and speaking of wonderfalls, I'm pissed showtime cancelled dead like me (by the same guy as wonderfalls)

love his tight pants.
the captain is a hottie.

Yeah, F&G was on NBC, my bad.

Nathan Fillion is hot. Hot. Hot. Hot!

Ooo, I'm going to watch this with my friends on Saturtday. It looks kind of interesting.

this looks great! I love fireflies...i couldn't belive that they wanted to end it like that.......the storyline wasn't even complete..=(

It wasn't even in order.

Ah, Fox is a terrible bunch of meanies.

For those interested in watching this movie, if you go to this link http://video.vividas.com/CDN1/3929_Serenity/web/index.html
you can see the first 9 minutes of the movie.

I loved this movie. it was absolutly brilliant. i wanna watch it in theaters again!

All of you who have the chance to go watch the movie should go see!!! Sadly, my countries not showing it so I'll have to wait to buy it or download. Give your support cos it's really good (from what I heard, and it's Joss Whedon, how can it not be good?) cos there might be sequels!

OMG I LOVE YOU AVATR T_T. i decided to watch firfly a few days ago and i watched the whole season in one day. i was soo depressed when in ended and i cant believe fox cancled such a brilliant show. stupid fox. EVIL!!!

Love Firefly and Serenity. I was one of the people who saw the movie and decided to watch thte series. Now we just need a Firefly thread

Dude, I would so agree with you except it would die within like ten posts, LOL.

it was good, but apparently it didnt do very well. At least not here in Britain.

WORST FILM , EVER .

oh my god .

i've never seen a film i hated more than this one . it was just indescribably awful .

don't even remember what happened in it anymore . or maybe nothing much did happen . certainly seemed that way ..

^
are u kidding??
i loved that movie! ahh it was amazing! the onlypart i didnt like is the end..when whats his face.....died...T__T

the doc is soo hot
YUMMY
i think imma watch the series again tomorrow

LOL, of course you're entitled to your opinion. I'm certainly biased in my sentimentality to the work although I thought it was extremely well-written, well-acted, well-directed, not to mention original and refreshing in terms of the duds Hollywood has been mass-producing lately...

*shrug*

Saw this on dvd recently.

Yay for Fruity Oaty Bars!!!

I found it watchable enough even though I'm not really into the sci-fi genre.

I wasnt into it very much either.. but it was a good movie.. the action scenes were good... But I had no idea what they were talking about most of the time... lol

oh don't get me wrong . i don't like most films , to be honest . i can't think of a movie i've seen in the past .. hm , ever , that i actually really liked . but this one for me was just .. well , you know what i think of it .

i liked this movie! i only wished i saw it at the big screens it looked dumb well the trailer did.... but it was pretty good ^^ i haven't seent he series yet but i've watched some of it.

one of the best films ever!... hehe... ok, it really wasn't.... but i really love the film... i was set on buying the firefly series, but most of the music/movie stores i went to were all sold out... people might think it's a hokey film, turned off by the genre, unimpressed with the acting... but, for me, it all worked out great... there was such a great feeling of comraderie and chemistry... the script and storyline never took itself too seriously, and once you felt like they were laying the emotion too strong, whedon would insert such great ice-breaking, humorous one-liners... i can't stop praising the film- it had a lot of heart, and it came out well through the screen... it upset me how underated the film was when there was such crap sci-fi movies that made box-office hits [cough]star wars prequels[cough]- i understand why they (Star War prequels) did so well, the first three were just great.. but come on..... ok, sorry to digress... Serenity=awesome!... in fact, i was just about to watch it for the 6th time.... peace!

Ditto. Firefly was a great series. Same with Serenity.

Fox is notorious for getting rid of great series in their infancy. Firefly was no different.

I agree. I sorely miss Firefly

Yeah.



Even though AD did last 2 1/2 seasons. Firefly was awesome, too. I really, really hate Fox.

Anywho, I really love Joss Whedon. This is one of the funnest films to watch. <3 And I do love Nathan Fillion...
