"Serenity" Blu-ray ReviewBy Peter Dimako, Editor Glorious “Serenity” shines on Blu-ray “Shiny” - I love this movie. To be honest, I’d never watched the “Firefly” series prior to this release. It’s been a while since I saw “Serenity” when it originally came out several years ago and, unfortunately so, I missed it on big screen. Now on Blu-ray, thanks to Universal, I got to relive the moments of my first DVD experience with the added big bonus of high def…what a rush. Naturally, I’m being biased as I did see it on a 92 inch screen as opposed to a ‘Mini Me’ version. Since there are a ton of film reviews floating around, let’s focus on what’s in store on the Blu-ray version as far as features are concerned. Naturally, there are exclusive new features on this one as opposed to the prior standard release.

Chicago – The regular flow of imports from standard DVD and HD-DVD to the champion of the format war, Blu-Ray, continues with this week’s release of an HD-DVD hit, Joss Whedon’s excellent “Serenity”.
The movie based on one of the best science fiction programs in the history of television, the short-lived “Firefly,” suffered a similar fate as its source material - not being appreciated during its initial release. When “Serenity” hit theaters, it certainly earned critical acclaim and adoration of fans of the show, but most audiences ignored it. Like the show, the film earned a cult following after fans caught up with it at the video store and is regularly voted one of the best sci-fi films ever made.
With “Serenity,” Joss Whedon and his multi-talented cast, including great work from Nathan Fillion, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Adam Baldwin, Alan Tudyk, and Summer Glau, didn’t just take the opportunity...
