Beloved television cult director Joss Whedon (Buffy The Vampire, Angel) makes
a spectacular first foray onto the big screen with Serenity, the cinematic
adaptation of his wildly popular but short-lived sci-fi series, Firefly.
A mix of space western, comedy, and drama, Serenity follows captain Malcolm
"Mal" Reynolds (Nathan Fillion) and his ragtag crew as they trade their way
around the edges of civilized society. Of particular interest are two passengers
they take on, Simon and River Tam (Sean Maher, Summer Glau), a brother and his
telepathic sister on the run from the corrupt governing Alliance. As notorious
former members of the anti-Alliance opposition, Mal and his crew make it
difficult for Simon and River to stay hidden. Everything goes completely awry
when a government assassin is sent to retrieve River. As Mal is forced to choose
between his close-knit crew and the brother and sister newcomers, it becomes
apparent that River harbours both a dangerous secret and astounding fighting
powers, and Mal decides that discovering the truth about what she knows might
just be worth his time.
Many of the film's action sequences revolve around Summer Glau's martial arts
skills in her portrayal of River. Glau prepared for her role with Hong Kong
stuntwoman Ming Lu, as well as stunt coordinators Chad Stahelski and Hiro Koda,
and as a resulted performed nearly all the stuntwork herself. In addition to the
stellar stunts, realistic graphics, and an often haunting score, the film's
actors display a rare chemistry that brings viewers both into their lives and
into a possible version of humanity's future.
