    • Trivia
      According to Nathan Fillion, he personally supplied the blueprints used to build the ship set in the film after being informed at a production meeting that the originals had been lost. He was able to do so because, being so excited about being in the original show, he had taken photos of ALL the preproduction materials he had seen, including the blueprints.
    • Goofs
      On Mr. Universe's planet Kaylee says she COULD rig the blast doors so no one could open them once they are sealed. She was injured in the fight, so never managed to do it, which is why right after Mal asks about River, the blast doors do open. The doors were obviously malfunctioning earlier when they only closed halfway.

      Hoban 'Wash' Washburn: I am a leaf on the wind - watch how I soar.

    • Crazy credits
      There is a message in the closing credits: "The filmmakers wish to thank the crew and staff of 'Firefly'"

    Intense
    From start to finish there are no wasted moments. All your emotions will be engaged. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll gasp in shock. What you won't be is bored. Don't plan on being able to take a bathroom break or get more soda and popcorn. You won't want to miss a second of this one.

    There's plenty here for everybody: Good writing, humor, excellent acting, plot, action (that actually makes sense in terms of the plot), excellent cgi, eye candy. And it's a movie that needs the big screen for the full effect. Watch it in theater; don't just wait for the DVD.

    If you saw Star Wars (the original) in the theater way back when, then this movie will evoke a similar feeling of awe. Once you see this movie, your perceptions of the movie-going experience will be changed. No other movie I've ever seen has hit me with the intensity of this one.
