But knowing the back ground of the characters really made this film brilliant. If you haven’t seen the series, Serenity might not be a great film.

Also Wash the ships pilot, played by Alan Tudyk who I recognised as Steve the Pirate from Dodgeball but has of course done many more things! Not forgetting Jayne, the meat head of the group who is played by Adam Baldwin, you might recognise him from Full Metal Jacket (1987)!

Inara the ‘companion’ (upper class call girl) played by Morena Baccarin, most recently played Brody’s long suffering wife in the TV series Homeland. The captain Mal, played by Nathan Fillion, I actually recognised from a few episodes of Buffy where he plays a possessed Priest but has also been in Desperate Housewives and the TV show Castle among other things.

It brought back all the characters, some of which you will recognise even if you haven’t seen the show.

It really was like a long final episode! Happy days! Plus a bigger budget so they had a few extra gadgets like a hover craft, fancy. The film then, titled Serenity after the beloved ship which housed the characters in the TV series, is set after the last episode and based around one of the main questions that was left unanswered by the abrupt ending of the show. What a fantastic way to end an awesome TV series that was cut short too quickly. To my dismay I found out it had been cancelled after one series and I was pretty distraught! Never fear though, because there was a film made in 2005, yay! I was very excited about this prospect as I had missed the characters (don’t judge, I get attached easily!), and the film I thought would be a 119 minute long epic episode. So we ploughed through the first series pretty quickly, when one episode finished I immediately wanted to watch another. It has its own style, the set and costumes, the types of characters, even the dialogue has its own twang. In IMDB’s words, “Five hundred years in the future, a renegade crew aboard a small spacecraft tries to survive as they travel the unknown parts of the galaxy and evade warring factions as well as authority agents out to get them”. How glad I am he introduced to me the programme, I really enjoyed watching it and fell in love with the characters! For those who don’t know what Firefly is, in my words its a space-age western. My boyfriend caught me watching Star Trek a few times and then later realised how obsessed I am with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, he said ‘hey maybe you would like this show Firefly!’ I am obviously pretty slow on the uptake because I only heard of Firefly this year. Check out some of the photos below.Have you watched Joss Whedon’s TV series, Firefly? Well, if you have then you have probably seen the film Serenity (2005) made a few years later. I love everything about this game, from the collectible tokens, to the art on the game board, they even have an “ambulance ship” card to replace one of the railroads in the original monopoly, as a Paramedic I really love that addition to the game. The goal is to have as much ‘Verse money in the end after trying to capture as many planets as you can and putting settlements and towns on them.

Houses are named Settlements and Hotels are named Towns.

6 Collectible zinc tokens: Alliance Gunship, Thunderbird-Class Surveyor, Reaver Ship, Serenity, I.A.V.

Gorram and Shiny! Cards that replace Chance and Community Chest.

The Deeds to all the Locations on the Board.

Firefly Money, which has some of the traditional Multi-verse logos on it.

The Playing Field itself, with iconic planets from within the Firefly Universe.

It still looks like Monopoly, plays like Monopoly, but with the awesome and fantastic Firefly theme thrown in.īe sure to check out my reviews of Firefly Yahtzee and Firefly Clue both by USAopoly as well. I love this game! Oh my goodness, did USAopoly get it right with this one! They have captured the Firefly Universe and put it into a game of Monopoly. Okay, now with that out of the way, let’s move on to the heart of it. So it is important to point out, that my opinion of this game as great as it is, is still not biased by getting it for free. If you know me well enough, I love Firefly. Let me first say that yes I was provided a copy of the game for the purpose of this review, and yes I have to share with you that all my opinions are my own. I was trying to think of a creative way to open this review, but I am still stunned and amazed on how awesome the Firefly Monopoly is from USAopoly.
