My Review:

Since I did a review on the Firefly TV series, I thought it was appropriate to do a review on the movie, which is sort of a conclusion to the series. 

I love the movie, though there are some parts that were shocking and sad. It's a brilliant ending, that shows you how it all began and why the government were messing with River's brain, while still staying focused on the crew. If you liked the Firefly series, but have never watched the movie, you definitely should. It brings some of the closure that the cancellation of the series unfortunately took away from us. 

If you get emotionally attached to shows easily, get out your Kleenex because there are definitely some parts that pull at the heart strings.

Otherwise, I thought the movie was brilliant. It shows you the background and it answers a lot of questions, while taking you on a roller coaster of action and intensity. It still had some funny moments, but the movie was definitely more serious than the TV show. I would still recommend it to everyone, though.

Some of the most badass fight scenes I've ever seen are in this movie, which is just all the more reason to watch it. Just remember that it's generally rated PG-13 because of some violent scenes and sexual references.

It's definitely worth the watch, so check it out!
