I'm glad to see this, because the Firefly universe is a franchise that really deserves to be continued one way or another. I never got to see the show but I thought that Serenity was both entertaining and thoughtful. Maybe I'll put the Firefly series on Netflix and catch it sometime.

SERENITY tops STAR WARS for best sci-fi movie honor
Serenity, the big-screen follow-up to Joss Whedon's TV show Firefly, has been named best sci-fi movie by readers of SFX. Number two on the list is the original Star Wars. Finishing out the top ten in order are: Blade Runner, Planet of the Apes (presumably the original), The Matrix, Alien, Forbidden Planet, 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Terminator, and Back to the Future.

Wow, it surprises that it beat Star Wars. I remember liking the movie but feeling that it was inferior to the TV show. I may have to rent it.
I've recently re-watched a few episodes of Firefly on DVD. Seeing how well the 2-part pilot "Serenity" was designed, I think Fox executives were morons for insisting on a new pilot episode (although "The Train Job" is also good). Also stupid was how the episodes were shown out of order (something corrected on the DVDs).
Other excellent episodes: "Our Mrs. Reynolds," "Out of Gas," "Ariel," "Trash," and "Heart of Gold."
