Review: The power of belief - Have you ever started a fabulous book, engaging, well-written, and then have it disappear before you could finish reading it? The cancellation of Firefly, an incredible series, was one of the most frustrating and cruel decisions ever made by network. Fabulous acting, great stories, many questions unanswered - and then the rug pulled out before they were finished. But because the fans demanded it, eventually Whedon's miracle arrived, and a movie was made. We could attribute this to the powers of love and belief, both explicit themes in the movie. A movie is not the same as a television series. A movie needs more scope, so instead of the ragtag group of individuals trying to scavenge a living and survive without being detected, which was part of the charm of the series, we get to watch them fighting, essentially, two armies. Devoted fans may also not need some of the exposition. Some little things that I love about both the series and the movie is the use of language. The dialogue is fantastic: witty, funny, sometimes very apt. Whedon, like Humpty-Dumpty, is a master of the words he uses, bending them to his will. There's "shiny" and "companion" and "nethers". And perhaps, my favorite, the use of the word "'verse" to mean "universe" - but which of course also has the poetical meaning of the story. Not all the threads left hanging from the series are tied up, but many of them are. We learn a lot more about River. We resolve the relationship between Simon and Kaylee. Mal recovers his belief system. We have a more sensible explanation for Reavers. We don't get the background on Inara or Shepherd Book, but at least with the latter he says he's not going to give his life story. The movie starts and ends with discussions of love. We first learn the love that Simon has for his sister, recognized by, of all people, the movie's main antagonist, the nameless operative. The nameless operative also understands the power of belief. The operative is therefore in a better position than Mal at the movie's beginning. However, the operative is too committed to unquestioning belief and because of this he does things that he admits make him a monster. Mal, during the movie, also learns to believe again - but his commitment to this is based on a more thorough investigation. There's a wonderful exchange, in which the nameless operative asks Mal if he is ready to die for his beliefs. Mal says, "Yes - but that ain't exactly Plan A." I do have some quibbles. Jewel Staite lost the 20 lbs that she gained for her original stint as Kaylee. Perhaps she's more beautiful without the 20 lbs, but she no longer feels like Kaylee. And although I can imagine Kaylee and Simon getting together - they're both good people - they really don't feel like a good match. Also, there seems to be no resolution to Jayne's story. He finally gets to be considered a genuine hero and perhaps that should have been acknowledged. Nevertheless a wonderful movie and a tribute to the faith of the fans and Firefly's creators. Review: All Heart - Sci-Fi, Western, drama, comedy, action-adventure, space opera, whatever you want to call it, this film is all heart. The characters are quickly outlined and filled in, brought to life in their interactions with each other and the breakneck pace of the plot. If it feels a bit rushed compared to most films, that is only because this movie has so much more to say. This movie is not about space, politics, or good and evil, it is about people. An unusually large cast of "main characters" is quickly and adeptly introduced to you, each of which is endearing in their own peculiar way. A doctor with endless devotion to his sister, a mechanic with an unstoppable sunny disposition, a quirky and somewhat goofy pilot, a caring and wise religious man, a mildly dimwitted yet powerful mercenary, the doctor's tortured and talented young sister, an unfailingly loyal first mate, a stunning and adoring companion, and the rugged realist who captains them all in their attempts to carve out a life for themselves on the edge of civilization. The companion is actually a prostitute, and yet somehow she is the only character with any real social status and respectability in society. And it doesn't bother you or seem quaint. In the amazing world that has been created here, it just seems normal. That being said, so interested in every aspect of the "verse" due to brilliant and witty dialogue sprinkled over a deep and involving plot, I could have easily sat for another two hours if they had chosen to dig deeper into this world. I swear I thought the whole thing lasted only 40 minutes. The world Mr. Whedon has created is teeming with depth and completeness that draws you in quickly, and seems tangible from the first scene. As the plot unfolds and the action sets in, the interactions between the characters are engaging and brief, but much like old friends you haven't seen in awhile, you immediately understand where they are coming from and the intricacies and depths of their relationships to each other. These relationships serve not only to illustrate the story and decisions they face, but they actually drive it forward and add great depth to the conflicts unfolding on screen. As varied a crew as they are, they seem at home with each other and so real you'd think you might run into them at the shopping mall or grocery store. There is a heartfelt sincerity and love that is exuding from the experience of this film, and I consider myself lucky to have caught it at the end of its run in the theatres. On a Sunday afternoon, with a rather old crowd and about a half-full theatre, the audience actually stood up and applauded this film when it finished. A sixty year old woman walked out with tears in her eyes, and I myself actually had trouble driving all the way home, so many thoughts about family and friends were racing through my head. This film is all heart. If you have a heart, you should buy it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Adam Baldwin, Alan Tudyk, Barry Mendel, Chiwetel Ejiofor, David Krumholtz, Gina Torres, Jewel Staite, Joss Whedon, Michael Hitchcock, Morena Baccarin, Nathan Fillion, Rafael Feldman, Ron Glass, Sarah Paulson, Sean Maher, Summer Glau, Yan Feldman Contributor Adam Baldwin, Alan Tudyk, Barry Mendel, Chiwetel Ejiofor, David Krumholtz, Gina Torres, Jewel Staite, Joss Whedon, Michael Hitchcock, Morena Baccarin, Nathan Fillion, Rafael Feldman, Ron Glass, Sarah Paulson, Sean Maher, Summer Glau, Yan Feldman See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 6,483 Reviews | | Format | AC-3, Blu-ray, Color, DTS Surround Sound, Dolby, Dubbed, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen | | Genre | Action & Adventure, Art House & International, Science Fiction & Fantasy | | Initial release date | 2011-08-28 | | Language | English, French, Spanish | ## Product Details - **Format:** AC-3, Blu-ray, Color, DTS Surround Sound, Dolby, Dubbed, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen - **Genre:** Action & Adventure, Art House & International, Science Fiction & Fantasy - **Initial release date:** 2011-08-28 - **Language:** English, French, Spanish ## Images ![Serenity (2005) [Blu-ray] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/815I563v-LL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The power of belief *by V***. on July 24, 2013* Have you ever started a fabulous book, engaging, well-written, and then have it disappear before you could finish reading it?
