A rag-tag crew of space-smugglers becomes embroiled in a plot to capture one of its crew which expands into them going up against the whole of the multiplanetary alliance.

One of the best movies I’ve seen. It’s concise, extraordinarily well-acted, looks great, and has a phenomenal story. I don’t know that I’d recommend this for people who haven’t seen Firefly – (2002 show), but for those who have seen and liked the series this film becomes mandatory viewing, though only after a long while after watching the series.

A note ∞

A unique space-western in the Firefly universe, meant to both stand apart its own film and to conclude the Firefly series. It has a different tone than the series. Bits of it feel incomplete or rushed to me. I definitely wouldn’t recommend viewing this movie immediately after watching the series.

Firefly needed some measure of closure and this movie does the job just fine. I do, however, recommend reading the comics because they explain quite a lot of other interesting things like the back stories for Shepherd Book and Wash.

• 56:45 — The guy doesn’t want to kill River, he said he wants to bring her home.

Inara Gris, played by Morena Baccarin, is such a hottie.

• 54:55 — Inara dusts herself off, sneaks over to the gun and shoots him. End of movie.
• 55:30 — What miraculous timing on the flash bomb.
• 1:04:55 — Just a touch of explanation before showing the aerial shot would have helped. After the “wait a sec” a little orbital shot perhaps? It was odd seeing the cut to the flying view of the area.. since the ship was in space while they were talking.

• 1:38:10 — Jayne knocks over some of their “cover”. How can it be cover if it can be knocked over like that? Even if it was bulletproof, a bullet would make it go flying..
