"You Can't Stop the Signal." "Keep Flying." "You Can't
Take the Sky From Me."
All words and phrases spelt out by Joss Whedon and
Browncoats everywhere. Serenity, the spin-off from the cancelled
series Firefly, was released in September 2005, and is a successful
continuation of Mal Reynold's story to evade the Alliance and successfully
shelter fugitives Simon and River Tam from their pursuers.
Over the course of the film, River is pursued by a
ruthless Alliance agent known only as the Operative, who has no compulsions
or qualms about killing, which he shows dramatically by murdering an entire
colony of people headed by former Serenity crewmember Derrial Book,
who is tragically caught in the crossfire.
As the action continues, Mal comes across the secret that
has shattered River's mind, the origin of the cannibalistic Reavers and
determines to spread the word of the Alliance's involvement throughout the
Verse. However, they are pursued by both the Alliance and the Reavers, and
come the movie's conclusion, not all of Serenity's crew will
survive...
Can Mal keep flying?
