Like a fair few people I want and saw the fil Serenity in the cinema, and loved it. Walking back through town, noticed this box set on sale, and had to buy it. I was expecting a spin off of the film, but found out it was the other way around.
The concept is the usual sci-fi futuristic space ships and villains idea. Good guys win, bad guys loose. Only difference in firefly is that the good guys are just like the bad guys, just a bit querkier. The scene is a few hundred years into the future, after the browncoats (resistance) lost the battle of Serenity, two of its members sarted up a ship to go wherever they pleased, and to make a new life. The characters which make an appearance in every episode are introduced in the pilot (as usual), and it goes on from there to show anything in the main characters lives from the characters past or an accident, to train heists and gunfights.
This film has all the qualities of a brilliant tv series; a brilliant cast, excellent one liners and a sustained theme, but none of the downsides like repetetiveness or poor script.
After watching all 14 episodes, i had to think, "why did they make so few of these wonderful things". As it turns out, it' funding was cut for the long running Dark Angel, which to me seems a huge waste as they only made half of their episodes.
But this series is my reccomendation, and I'm sure that most other reviews agree with me.

I see you've posted this as a DVD review, but you've not mentioned the DVD. Are there any extras? If so, what are they and are they any good? If you add to this, or if you change it to be posted as a "Film Only" review, which can be done by accessing "edit review" above the review and changing the drop down menu under the "Which format are you reviewing?" question at the bottom, please let me know and I'll re-rate.
