Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice

Part of the sting of the recent Star Wars films, aside from the lackluster acting, subpar special effects and overall air of laziness surrounding the screenwriting and direction, was the feeling that a piece of our collective pasts had been taken ...read the complete Serenity movie review at Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice

ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

The film leaves open the possibility of future adventures - whether they materialize remains to be seen.

Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

The thrill of a fistfight in a movie was altered for me forever the day I visited a set and watched the sound men beating the hell out of a Naugahyde sofa with Ping-Pong paddles. ...read the complete Serenity movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

Critics savaged the Western/sci-fi hybrid, viewers stayed away in droves, and Fox pulled the show midseason. But his fans�...read the complete Serenity (2005) review at Austin Chronicle (Kimberley Jones)

Qwipster's Movie Reviews (Vince Leo)

At the risk of getting my Geek Pass (tm) permanently revoked, I am going to give Serenity a less-than-masterpiece score. Perhaps as standard television fare, as Serenity is based on characters and events spotlighted in the short-lived TV series (only 11 o...read the complete Serenity (2005) review at Qwipster's Movie Reviews (Vince Leo)

The verdict? If you're a fan of Buffy or Firefly, you'll probably love this (and you probably know all about it already). If you're not, you should probably spend two hours cleaning house or doing laundry instead—or something more fun like that....read the complete Serenity (2005) review at Reel.com
