For the fans, it was a sad farewell. If you found the movie at list a little intriguing, it's well worth going back and watching the series.

One thing though - the opening sequence starting with a chunk of the ship falling off during atmospheric entry, is amazing film-making. It's one long sequence that introduces all of the main characters from the series (save the preacher) and the entire layout of the space ship, all in one shot. It must have been a real chore to make, but it's great to watch.
This is a different movie. You are writing about the 2005 Serenity movie which was excellent IMHO. Serenity (2005) - Rotten Tomatoes
