This movie was excellent.
I've never seen the show (although I plan on renting it soon) but I could follow perfectly what was going on. Humor, good characters and of course, kick ass sci-fi battle scenes, made this movie a must-see and a must-buy.

I finally got a few chances to sit down, and watch the complete set of DvD's of Firefly episodes undistrubed. It does not play well when noise interupts the dialogue. Thanksgiving weekends, and the previuos weekend, allowed me 5 different settings to be left alone with the story.
I am hooked on the theme song.
I really enjoy the lack of commercials.
Objects in Space was a bit surreal, given its River heavy storyline. Jubal Early was . . . missing something. Too bad, he was rife with potential for a continuing villain.
With the never ending Mal-Inara tension, Heart of Gold was the best episode for my money, though it leaned too heavily on the "Western" motif.
All in all, the dialogue pleased me fine, the ship was shiny enough to be pleasein', and the jokin' fit the times needin' it.
I need to see the film again, and to better understand the Reavers. They are bad science fiction as I currently understand them, since they'd have self immolated long ago due to the mutation/agency that corrupted them.
The other glaring bad science fiction, unnecessarily in my opinion, is the lack of strap in points for when the ship maneuvers. I think it could have been added without harming the feel or layout of the hold. That sort of detail would be consistent with the purpose of the ship as a transport/trader class vessel, without forcing the cliche Viper Fighter ship model.
Loved the way the crew quarters were designed.
