Serenity

Greetings, Serenity is a film set after the events of the Firefly series which I had reviewed a few blog updates ago. It follows the main string of plot form the series, in that a young doctor called Simon had rescued his sister, River, from the government who were experimenting on her. Simon smuggled her aboard the pirate ship named Serenity.  Eventually, the captain of the vessel, Mal Reynolds found out.

The film begins with the government Alliance sending an agent known as the Operative after the escaped prisoner and Fugitive. The crew of Serenity finish a job and report to their employers in a shady bar, when River who was rendered unstable by the government’s experiments follows them. In the bar she watches an advert which is actually a signal that had set off her built in fighting abilities. River takes out the members of the bar, revealing that she is actually a human weapon of the Alliance.

Mal manages to prevent her from killing the entire squad from Serenity and calms her, River witnesses flashbacks of a planet called Miranda. Reynolds tries to discover what is important about the planet, while being chased by the Operative and Alliance Forces. The planet is also surrounded by Reavers, barbarians who prey on civilised society at the edge of known space. I quite enjoyed this film and it was a better ending than the last episode of the series. The main characters were all in it and the plot was well thought out. The eighth chapter of the third series of the adventures of Fletch and Roman is up in Warehouse 17.
