Includes the three features, SERENITY, THE ONE and STEALTH.
SERENITY - A mix of space western, comedy, and drama, the story explores the adventures of captain Malcolm Mal Reynolds and his ragtag crew as they trade their way around the edges of civilised society. Of particular interest are two passengers they take on - Simon and River Tam, a brother and his telepathic sister on the run from the corrupt governing Alliance. Being notorious former members of the anti-Alliance opposition, Mal and his crew make it difficult for Simon and River to stay hidden. Everything goes completely awry when a government assassin is sent to retrieve River. As Mal is forced to choose between his close-knit crew and the brother and sister newcomers, it becomes apparent that River harbours both a dangerous secret and astounding fighting powers.
THE ONE - The film is based on the futuristic premise that there is more than one universe – that many parallel universes co-exist and that each one contains a slightly different version of every person who has ever lived. Yulaw is a rogue agent from the Multiverse Bureau of Intelligence who has learned, that by travelling from one parallel universe to another and killing the alternate versions of himself, he gains his counterpart's strength, speed and intelligence. After killing one hundred and twenty-three parallel versions of himself and gaining almost unstoppable power, Yulaw has only one version of himself left - Gabriel Law, a Los Angeles cop. Yulaw travels to the universe that houses his nemesis with the intention of killing his final self and attaining his Godlike powers.
STEALTH - This high-action flight movie centres on a team of three, sexy stealth bomber pilots who are forced to fly with EDI (Extreme Deep Invader), a computer-manned prototype plane that specialises in extra-precision bombing. EDI has the ability to learn at a fantastic rate and before long, a freak accident causes it to question authority and launch an attack on Russia.

Serenity is a film that, by rights, shouldn’t have been made. For starters, it’s spun out of the short-lived and quickly-cancelled TV series Firefly, which has only itself got the full recognition it deserves on DVD. It then marries up two seemingly incompatible genres, the western and science fiction, has no major stars to speak of, and pretty much has ‘hard sell’ written all over it.

Perhaps that explains its modest box office performance back in 2005. What it fails to reflect, however, is that this is one of the most energetic, downright enjoyable sci-fi flicks in some time. Not for nothing did many rate it higher than the Star Wars movie that appeared in the same year.

It follows renegade captain Mal Reynolds and his quirkily assembled crew, as they work on the outskirts of space, trying to keep out of the way of the governing Alliance. That plan quickly changes when they take on a couple of passengers who have attracted the attention of said Alliance, and thus the scene is set for an action-packed, cleverly written movie that deserves many of the plaudits that have rightly been thrust in its direction.

What’s more, Serenity works whether you’ve seen the TV series that precedes it or not. Clearly fans of the Firefly show will be in their element, but even the casual viewer will find an immense amount to enjoy.

The only real problem is that given the film’s box office returns, further adventures of Reynolds and his crew look unlikely. Unless Serenity turns into a major hit on DVD, that is. It’s well worth playing your part in making that happen.--Simon Brew
