Serenity (2005)
I heart this cast so bad. I could watch a movie about them sitting around a table just chatting for two hours and I'd be happy. Actually I would watch Nathan Fillion read the phone book out loud all day.
Serenity is the movie that came to life through the power of fans. Once upon a time there was a wonderful little TV Series called Firefly written by the wonder that is Joss Whedon. A Sci-Fi TV show like no other. This one had Cowboys in space, and we (the fans) loved it. The cast was amazing, the writing was brilliant, it was witty and funny, yet at the same time had depth and drama. So of course the network cancelled it.
The Fans were furious! They stamped their feet and put on there angry face and browncoats (sorry series reference) and got ready for a fight. Through the power of many fans combining their powers and bringing forth Captain Planet, and with the wonder that is the internet, the Big Damn Movie got made.
The crew of Serenity have reunited to fly the skies once more. This time in an adventure to protect one of there own from an evil assassin, and in the process save the world.
Start with the series, then watch the movie. I don't know a single person who doesn't love both. Cowboys, mind-readers, space ships, quick quips, great writing, great visuals. Amazing.
What else can I say? It's COWBOYS IN SPACE! It's friggin' AWESOME!
