Mhh, I don’t know. I didn’t get hooked on to Firefly immediately either, so I’ll hold my final judgment until I see the movie again, possibly after the last few episodes of the show, but I’m afraid its spirit has gotten a bit lost amidst the dollars (not that there were that many of them, either). River is a bit too sharp when she escapes, Mal is a bit too cold (back to his personality in the pilot, as if nothing had happened since), Kaylee a bit too transparent, the Reavers too present on-screen (they were so much more impressive when you wouldn’t see them) and their involvement in the story much too obvious, the bad guy is a bit too reminiscent of the before-last episode, and… the Alliance wanted River back so much just because of that?! Give me a break! (And where are the blue-gloved men?)
