Serenity (runtime 1:59:02) - Patreon Version
🕑 Added 2025-01-13 17:00:14 +0000 UTCHi everyone!
We finished Firefly, so of course we watched Serenity! Also, this movie will be made available to the Salted Nut tier as well, as it belongs with the series.
I'm so glad they got to make this movie to tie up all the loose ends. And it was sooo much fun getting to see all of the characters we love, in a very different way. Thank you for letting us know about this movie... the series would have not felt the same without it!

Agreed! They did a really good job with his character

finally had time to watch this reaction, and was not disappointed! An amazing film, doing a stunning bit of storytelling that works for both fans of Firefly and first time watchers. And, i like the subtle items in the film showing Jayne's character development - his "turn it off" comment, or his dedication to getting everyone secured for the final landing without regard to his own safety. and yet, he's still the same cocky Jayne.

Wait... Are you serious!? That sounds way too good to be true! I'm looking it up now haha

I thrid The Expanse, but wonder if Battlestar Galactica should come first.
Chandra
Hahaha omg that's a good prank
Chandra
I agree on all counts ❤️

I'll offer maybe a unique perspective... I saw this movie in theaters before I'd ever seen the show, just based on pure word of mouth about how great it was. And it really works as a standalone story, I loved it so much even without the context of the series that I immediately went home and watched the whole series over the next few days. But of course now as a fan of the whole thing the movie is also the best closure we could have hoped for from a series cut far too short.

This is one of my favorite movies. The visuals, and lighting are so good. There is something so beautiful about Rivers violence. Summer Glau being a trained ballerina really showed itself in this movie. I really believe this could be its own standalone movie without the series. Thank you for the video!

I'll second "The Expanse".

FYI : During the last minute of the credits, there is an instrumental version of the TV show theme. Bonus, it is played by Brian Doyle-Murray. (Sorry. But, seriously, there is an instrumental version of the theme at the end of the credits.) Also, there is a series of graphic novels that are officially canon (with Joss Whedon's approval AND contribution), and as already mentioned by another patron, one of them is Shepherd Book's backstory.

So please tell me you filmed the interaction afterwards when you explained Kaylee's comment in the bar. That being said, you guys should consider either "The Expanse" after this, or "Terminator, the Sarah Conner Chronicles"

There is a comic book Serenity: A Shepherd's Tale that reveals shepherd Books' backstory, in case that would be of interest

My theory about Book is that he was once an operative!

I went out with a woman named Miranda and showed her the whole series and Serenity. I told her "A lot of fans say they hear River's trigger word as their own name." When River whispered "Miranda," she freaked out for a split second and went "WHAT??". 😂 SO funny. I don't think I can ever watch that scene again without laughing.

This was a great way to not only showcase River's past but to also let Summer show off how badass she is! So many great moments in this film, it's hard to count, but not as hard as saying goodbye to Wash and Book both!
