I think the context of the story has been covered by other posters so I would just like to write about the impact this film had on me.

I first saw this film the year of it's release around 1987. My school organised a trip to the cinema to see it, for an RE project I think. We all went along of course excited because we were on a school trip to the cinema! Little did we know what we were about to experience. To this day I still remember the feelings it invoked in me and i remembered crying a lot as were most of my friends. I think at the age we were we found it shocking and quiet rightly outraged in our own youthful way .It had such an impact on me that I joined the Anti Apartheid Movement the same year.

I think it served it's purpose in my case.

As there are so many comments for this film a synopsis by me isn't really needed so I will just say I never really got into Buffy and didn't know Firefly existed but Serenity has become one of my all time favourite films. I don't actually buy many DVD's but I own this one because it is one of those movies that is a keeper.

Chiwetel Ejiofor as The Operative is quietly menacing and having seen him since in other movies 'Kinkyboots' and more recently 'Children of Men' he is a very good actor.

I try to tell as many people as I can about Serenity it when the question of good movies you have seen comes up!
