Plot:
River Tam and her brother Simon are hiding out from the totalitarian government that experimented with River's brain aboard the space-freighter Serenity. Captained by a down on his luck, no faith soldier, the crew of Serenity must take jobs (legal or not) while avoiding the Alliance, and keeping the Tams safe. But when things get out of hand with the true extent of River's powers, the Alliance sends a new Operative to make sure what River knows doesn't get out. How will the crew of Serenity deal with this new threat? And what exactly does River know that the Operative is willing to kill for? IMDB

Review:
I was very sceptical of this movie when we rented it. And while we were watching it, I was SO tired that I kept falling asleep.. But in and out of sleep, I was able to see some of the movie, and what I did see - I really liked.

We finally bought it a little while ago, and I got a chance to see the entire movie - and it was fantastic! A mix of The Matrix and Equilibrium. A great plot, great effects, great acting.. everything was perfect.

It was a serious movie, but still had that good, dry humor in it.
Everyone even needs to see it, even for the subtile message of what happens when trying to make a perfect world.
