Album Description:
Joss Whedon, the writer/director responsible for the worldwide television phenomena of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel," now applies his trademark compassion and wit to a small band of galactic outcasts 500 years in the future in his feature film directorial debut, "Serenity."
The film centers around Captain Malcolm Reynolds, a hardened veteran (on the losing side) of a galactic civil war, who now ekes out a living pulling off small crimes and transport-for-hire aboard his ship, Serenity. He leads a small, eclectic crew who are the closest thing he has left to family--squabbling, insubordinate and undyingly loyal. When Mal takes on two new passengers--a young doctor and his unstable, telepathic sister --he gets much more than he bargained for. The pair are fugitives from the coalition dominating the universe, who will stop at nothing to reclaim the girl. Hunted by vastly different enemies, they begin to discover that the greatest danger to them may be on board Serenity herself. This action/adventure/Sci-Fi/western features an eclectic score by composer David Newman.

I do agree with some of the negative comments already posted, but the soundtrack does grow on you. The major failing is that the end title music was not kept in it's entirety (even if it meant a repetition). I'm not sure it's fair to criticize the short lengths of the opening title and end pieces. They are after all bookends (the abrupt cut-off in each case corresponds to a piece of the ship flying off and Mal's "what was that?"). It would have been nice to have those really lovely themes expanded, ... Read More

Keep in mind - this is a movie soundtrack, so it's not really meant to just be "listened" to on its own. I can't get enough of the Serenity track and the End Credits. Those have the great sound I was looking for, and unfortunately they are very, very short songs (they should've been much longer!).
All in all a good piece to add to your collection if you like Firefly and Serenity.

Im a huge fan of the TV series and the film. When I bought the TV soundtrack, my only disappointment was that the tracks were too short. I was hoping the movie soundtrack would provide more of the same, only longer.
The beauty of the TV music was its mixture of eastern and western musical influences, perfectly in sync with the cultural mixture in the series. The movie soundtrack has none of that. It's modern through discordant melodies, not through new combinations of music. And it doesn't ... Read More

I'm a huge fan of the Firefly series and Serenity, the subsequent film. The concept was the most original science fiction idea in many years and it was a great tragedy that the TV show only ran for one season. So with that said, how does the Serenity sound track shape up?
In my opinion, this is a good soundtrack without being an outstanding one but the music is not the same as in the TV series. It still stands up pretty well in its own right however. There are some catchy, folksy themes ... Read More

like some other folks here, i agree that there are some really wonderful moments on this soundtrack (serenity theme, trade station robbery, funeral/rebuilding serenity, love, end theme), with about 12 of the 23 tracks going from great to beautiful. trouble is, they are pretty short, too short in several instances (well, too short for satisfying listening, but of course well timed for the film). the 'action' music, which comprises about 50% of the soundtrack, is less appealing, at least away from the context ...
