Whether you claim yourself to be a faithful 'browncoat' or if your response to that statement is 'my winter coat is blue', Serenity is most likely going to entertain you. I myself had never seen nor heard about the story of Serenity before watching the film in theaters, but it caught my interest so much that I purchased the series Firefly that very night. Now that I have seen the series and the movie once again, I have to admit my understanding of the film has skyrocketed.

For the avid fans, this is a solid representation of Firefly and it appears it was an easy transition. Every element that is loved by the fans - the wit, the relationships, the smart action - is embedded in Serenity. Then again, if you are an avid fan, you already know this.

For those, like me, who have no idea what all this jargon means I think you will still enjoy the film. Granted, you may be 'ignorant' of the significance of many of the events that occur, but that shouldn't prevent you from being entertained. You may even end up like me - leaving a positive review after committing hours of watching Firefly the series and Serenity multiple times.

Boy, I'm not quite sure what everyone's problem is...because I thought this movie was excellent! I think it's a little ridiculous that people are calling it an insult to those who served there because it's a movie...not a documentary. Of course they're going to change things...I wasn't watching for educational value. If you're looking for an absolutely correct portrayal of the war in Bosnia...look elsewhere. If you're looking for great action with not too much gratuitous killing, then watch away. I can't even imagine how people thought it was a waste of time...it was exciting and the acting was great (got to love Gene Hackman). I gave it a 9, a far cry from the many 1's you'll see from others...great movie!
