Wanna watch a good sci fi action flick? Try Serenity Watched this movie in 2 parts yesterday and today morning. It's a spin off from the TV series Firefly which i've been hearing so much about from entertainment magazines.

I haven't got a chance to watch Firefly yet but Serenity while slow moving in parts was interesting. It's set in the distant future where humans have inhabited a new galaxy. The parliment has the big brother complex - trying to control the mind and actions of it's citizens. There's one girl whom they are trying to re-condition named River, who is rescued by her brother. They take refuge from the regime's assassin on a rebel ship - Serenity. The rest of the movie deals with their narrow escapes and why the government is after her.

Firefly had a cult following in the US and Serenity was a big hit with fans as well. Many of them seem to have found deep meanings within the movie, but for me it was just an entertaining flick and good special effects. Especially the scenes where river fights are quite "wow".

It's by the creator of Buffy and Angel, so fans may wanna check it out if you get the chance!
