I have spent time hunting through for movies worth watching, and although it seems rather wasteful at times but it's when a gem like this falls in your lap that makes it all worth IT.
This is a thoroughly entertaining movie that is rather unknown and unappreciated. It has all the elements of a classic science fiction. Please read on a bit of spoilers/appetizers if u wish..
A world of several galaxies ruled by ruthless and unreasonable federation and outnumbered liberal groups fighting for independence. The federation is out to force their ways on people and subdues free will regardless of the costs. They have a powerful psychic who becomes a threat as she might know a secret so grave that it threatens the very foundation of federation and their methods. Her brother frees her and escapes on a ship with an interesting crew.
This ship becomes the unwilling guardian of the girl and the secret first. In their course they discover how remarkably gifted/cursed that girl and she leads them to the secret. "The secret: Federation tried to control a planet by experimenting on it that killed 90% of the population and turned 10% into cannibalistic monsters. The whole universe is oblivious of this and federations wants to keep it that way." Knowing the secret they are morally bound to transmit it to the entire universe. How's that for a good script?
And yes in the midst of all this is good special effects, action sequences, suspense, clever dialogues and tinge of humor. The entire cast has done a terrific job but Nathan Fillion (Captain of ship) and Chiwetel Ejiofor (soldier of the federation) are exceptional.
To be fair, like any other movie it has it's flaws but if we look past it we can see a thoroughly entertaining 2 hour action packed movie. I was shocked to see that it did so poorly at the box office but then again so did Shawshank Redemption. Anyhow to all the movie buffs i would say give it a shot. And to the director of Serenity i would say could we have a sequel please? There sure is a room for one.
