Firefly: The Complete Series [4 Discs] (DVD)
Firefly: The Complete Series [4 Discs] (DVD)
Joss Whedon attempted to follow up his successful series Buffy the Vampire Slayer with the science fiction-themed Firefly. Although the series failed to garner a mass audience, it did have a loyal following. Those fans will be pleased by this box set that contains every episode of the series that aired, as well as three never-before-seen episodes. All 15 episodes are presented in anamorphic widescreen. English, French, and Spanish soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Surround. Commentaries are available on four of the episodes. Production featurettes, a blooper reel, and a tour of the set with Whedon round out this solid package that should be of interest to genre enthusiasts as well as Whedon's fans.

Great Series for Western Lovers and Sci -Fi Lovers
on January 10, 2010

If you've never seen Firefly, Fox's great Sci-Fi show, I wouldn't be surprised. The show was not advertised at all, and they dropped it right after it started because no one watched it. I think if this show would have kept going it would have been a lot more than an underground hit.
Anyway, if you like Sci-Fi then you will probably love this show. If you like western themes this show will also be for you. It takes place in the far future, and follows a group of smugglers on their passings with warlord like scumbags and the giant republic ships who ignore the less rich planets. It really makes you root for the group, even if the things they are doing would be considered bad. The show has lots of action, but also has a lighter side and will make you laugh at times. There is also a lot of character development throughout the series.
The good thing about this is the whole series fits in one box, the bad thing is some of the plot is cut off when they pulled the show from the airwaves. If you go in expecting to be disappointed by an abrupt ending you will like it.
Don't waste your time with Serenity. The movie picks up where the show left off, but changed the feel to a Sci-Fi horror, and ruins a lot of story that should be resolved but now can't because of killed characters. If you have to see it, I'd say rent, because it is a disservice to the show in my opinion.
What's great about it: Great characters, plots, overarching themes.
What's not so great: The series was never finished, and given a bad movie to cap it off.
I would recommend this to a friend!
