event Serenity

Thanks to the sizable cult of Buffy The Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon, the brilliant-but-cancelled sci-fi series Firefly got a second chance on the big screen with Serenity, which triumphantly restores the series’ irreverent appeal while answering a lot of open questions. So what if it flopped? That future centers on Summer Glau, a deeply damaged psychic turned into a human weapon by the scientists of the oppressive interplanetary Alliance, then rescued by her brother and brought on board Serenity, an outlaw ship commanded by anti-Alliance rebel Nathan Fillion. The Riverview screens Serenity Aug. 13-15; Thursday's showing is also a benefit for the women's nonprofit Equality Now, and also features Whedon's cult supervillain musical Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog.
