Serenity
Serenity is the best science fiction movie ever. Its better than Star Wars, Blade Runner and The Matrix; at least, according to a recent poll by SFX magazine. Serenity, if you haven’t heard, is the feature film based on the canceled show Firefly. It is a space western, telling the story of a group of bandits on a cargo ship trying to get by on the edge of space.
Following in the footsteps of other great shows canceled by Fox only to return(Futurama, Family Guy), Firefly is the only show to have been canceled in its first season and gone on to become a major motion picture, role-playing game, and soon to be an MMORPG.
If you haven’t seen Firefly, Serenity won’t be as fantastic. I recommend picking up the first season (the entire show) on DVD and watching it through before sitting down to enjoy Serenity. If you also think that Serenity is the best science fiction movie to date, then go to the BBC and vote!
