Firefly the series is similar to Andromeda the series yet it manages to keep it's own unique flavor- but being a fan of both series I can't help but see a ton of similarities. Serenity is the movie based on the Firefly series- about an ex-soldier turned captain after the battle of Serenity Valley lost the war against the alliance and made him live on the run, taking jobs as he can using his spaceship to transport cargo and the occasional unusual passenger.
PLOT: two of the passengers he picks up are a doctor and his sister(who was worked on by the Alliances' Mengele- style doctors which resulted in turning her into a psychic with battle skills that can pop out at any time- the rest of the time she's a bipolar weepy wisp of a girl).
The alliance is after them, they want their weapon(her) back.. and in between all of that, they need to pay their bills by running criminal jobs using their space ship and their warrior skill as their main tools.
This is a space adventure, with plenty of planet-side action and a dash of romance here and there.
For people that know the series: All the characters are pretty much the same but Kaylee the Engineer is 20 pounds lighter, so she doesn't have that same farm-girl sexiness she had in the series.
The alliance assassin is played by a new actor, and the fight scenes are pretty good.. not top notch but reasonable.
