I watched all the episodes and the movie in order, back to back over the course of a few days, and my expectation for the movie had been build up pretty high between the course of watching the pilot to Objects in Space. But I can see why the people who watched the series because they watched and liked the movie would have a deep fondness for the film.

In that sense I did like the movie. In terms of being someone who was attached to the show and its characters, the movie sort of worked. It was nice to see them all in action again, and I can't say there was anything outright bad in the film.
Nothing felt the same however. It was like everything I enjoyed on the show was present, but reassembled into a flat, hyped up form. I'm still wishing Joss Whedon had not made the film with the idea to recreate and finish the long-term story he had in mind for the show. That's not what Firefly was about. The whole point of the show, neat people living their lives and trying to make a living in a tough world, was inside out. He should have been a bit more bold and simply focused on a smaller, non-epic story.
