The first thing that gets lost in a science fiction epic is the characters. To often they become mere excuses to display more special effects. In Serenity the characters take center stage. You may not care for all of them, but you can't deny that they have been fleshed out.
Throw in Joss Wheaton's snappy dialog and fast pacing, and you have the ingredients for a fun movie. Many may describe Serenity as a western in space, but I think it has more in common with the comedies of the thirty's. Arch comments, quick comebacks, and amusing turns of phrases rule the day.
I highly recommend this film for anyone tired of the cookie cutter action flick, but who's still interested in seeing an action flick.
