One of the best shows ever. Curse Fox’s sudden but inevitable betrayal.

To be fair Joss Whedon said Serenity's twofold purpose was to 1) tie up all the loose ends and essentially cram all of what would've been season 2 into one 2 hour movie, a difficult feat by any measure that I think he more than succeeded at accomplishing, and 2) hoped for a hail mary pass that if it miraculously did well it might generate enough new enthusiasm to restart the tv show, albeit minus a few characters (presumably to be replaced with new ones and new adventures). I for one appreciate that the movie studios at least green-lit the idea so we all could have some closure

Did Jeremy seriously sin the movie for having the Reavers "inserted" into the story? The whole point of the movie was about discovering how the Reavers were created through very inhumane and unwilling human behavioral experiments that went wrong and then releasing the information to the public to expose how corrupt the Alliance is and, in a sense, finally avenging the Brown Coats who fought the Alliance. He initially sinned the whole plot with that single sin

Everything wrong with Serenity: Whedon was forced to make it into a movie instead of a second season of a fantastic show, because Fox is assholes. *ding* There I fixed it for you.

Me, responding to criticism of this channel: People need to lighten up! Me, watching sins pile up for “Serenity”: How DARE you?!?!

I don’t think she skinned her friends, i think the skin got burnt off leaving atmosphere. That was weird to type.

Aw, you left out my favorite line. "Do you know what your sin is?" "Aw hell, I'm a fan of all seven. But right now, I think I'll go with Wrath."

Aw come on. The whole Kaylee/Simon thing paid off when they thought they were gonna die! "My only regret in all of this is never being with you." "With me? You mean to say as... sex?" "I mean to say." *cocks gun* "To hell with this, I'm gonna live! Easily worth a sin off. Cracks me up every time!

"Why isn't it called Firefly?" Because the movie was distributed by Universal, but the rights to the name 'Firefly' belonged to 20th Century Fox (as producers of the TV show).

The Operatives performance in this movie is legitimately worth a dozen sins off. It made me a Chiwetel Ejiofor fan for life.

The Chinese was how they got around swearing, so NOT meant to be understood except the tone...and that worked brilliantly.

I always wanted a movie called Shepard explaining his backstory. He was the coolest character that didn't get enough backstory.

"Mal is too smart to set himself up to be owned this hard, and he would never make this brag." *Rewind back Shindig* Mal: "I never back down from a fight." Inara: "Yes you do, you do all the time."

"Mercy is the Mark of a great man." Mal lightly stabs the loser "Guess I'm just a good man..." Mal stabs him again. "Well, I'm alright," and throws the weapon to the ground. Man, I still love Firefly...

"they try to tie the reavers in at the end"???? The entire movie is basically an origin story OF the reavers. Like, that's the friggin punchline. Did you even watch this movie???

if you binge-watch Firefly and then watch Serenity as just an extended length episode, a lot of stuff makes a lot more sense :)

Apparently, in this single instance, Jayne is smarter than me. "Noble as a grape" made no sense to me either until I discovered this: "Noble grapes are any grapes traditionally associated with the highest quality wines. Noble grapes are said to retain their character no matter where they are planted. ... The white noble grapes were Sauvignon blanc, Riesling, and Chardonnay. The red noble grapes were Pinot noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot."

Mal: Define interesting Wash: Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die? RIP Wash

You forgot to remove 50 sins for the scene when the Operative says "I'm not threatening you, I'm unarmed--" and Mal says "Good" and shoots him. And you forgot to remove 100 sins for the ending scene of the film.

As a huge Firefly fan, I'd say at least 1/3 of your points should have been subtractions.

"They survive this" *shows the pilot getting skewered* "Oh...I mean..." I feel terrible for laughing at that, but I did

Noble is a type of grape, my dude. Hence, Noble as a grape.

This was one of my dad's favourite movies for a long time and he had no idea Firefly even existed. When he found out he was the happiest person alive lol.

You missed the best line from Kaylee."it's been 8 months since I haven't had anything twixt my nethers that don't run on batteries" best movie line ever

They had them speak Mandarin in the show as a way to have them swear without upsetting the censors, hence no subtitles as that would defeat the purpose.

It should only be three sins....1) When Shepard was killed; 2) When Wash was killed; 3) This is the last we'll see of any Firefly we'll see. Now, time to go watch The Mandalorian.

Mal constantly sets himself up to be owned hard in disagreements, it’s part of his charm as a character. Also the fact that Mal means bad or evil and he is in fact an incredibly honourable man, or more correctly and very bad man who has chosen to be very honourable, is like the entire point of the character and his naming.

Surprised Jeremy didn't take off a sin for Kaylee's "Hell with this, I want to live!" line. Legit one of the funniest lines in the movie.

10:00 Every planet in that solar system has been terraformed to have breathable air, so they don't normally need to concern themselves with that. And they did check to make sure that the air was breathable before taking their helmets off. Zoe was still holding the scanner in the shot you used to complain about the planet having breathable air. Which occurs a few seconds after she states that the air is breathable.

Curse your sudden, but inevitable betrayal. You can't stop the signal

Mel: "Do you want to captain this ship?" Jane: "Yes!" Mel: "Well, ya can't."

14:15 Grabbing on to your opponent's sword is actually a valid technique in historical european swordsmanship. If it can't move across the hand, it won't cut, so while you have to be carefull doing it, it can pay off in a fight.

Okay, where the hell was the sin off for the Operative saying he's unarmed and Mal just shooting him immediately?

"He killed me Mal, he killed me with a sword...how weird is that."

To be fair about Jane really started listening to Mal after he nearly threw him out of the airlock. lol

How is it possible that there is no _"Morena Baccarin isn't my girlfriend"_ sin in this one?

The greatest sin: seeing this film BEFORE watching the series. So many big things happen in this film.

CinemaSins: Everything wrong with Serenity... Zod: HERESY!!!

The Operative talking about innocent people being killed is not because he is morally concerned about it, but because he knows Mal will be bothered by it. It is a tactic to put Mal off his game. Mal is, afterall, a good man trying to convince himself he is a bad man.

gotta say... I was expecting a 'lemme start off with removing 5 sins because this movie awesome!' intro at the start...but nope. Even with the plot holes, unbelievable events...this and that....yadda yadda'ing here and there....Serenity remains one of my all time fav flix. Often laughable special effects aside, the plot developments, character developments and interaction, and the script as a whole just won me over solid. And yeah, I watched Firefly and that set me up to love this and forgive it's many sins...so i know...CinemaSins. just wish y'all woulda given it the nod from the start that it deserved.

One request: DodgeBall: A True Underdog Story

Kaylee didn't have to skin anyone. They strapped those bodies to the hull whole, and flesh and clothes were burned off in atmo or frozen off in space.

"They all survive this....." OOHhhhhhhhh......that poor, poor Wash...Really gets ya....right there.... ~gentle punch to the heart~

I was disappointed that the Sentence wasn't "A special kind of hell"

I need more sins added just for killing any Alan Tudyk character.

"This was all one shot" Two shots actually, but cleverly hidden to appear as one shot.

The noble grapes are the international varieties: the type of grapes used in wine making. This is probably part of the running joke that Jayne clearly has a pretty decent education that he only half remembers.

Before even watching "Everything Wrong With Serenity" The only thing wrong with it is we didn't get more!

"Hahahaha sequel." Please why do you hurt me like this????

Everything Wrong with Serenity -> this is the last bit of Firefly that we got (sorry, not including Con Man).

Alright so you come after my favourite movie, the movie I use as my own personal ethos when I make films - so I'm gonna come right back at you 0:24: How dare you 'zzzzz' one of the best openings executed in film - the whole opening is a masterclass on how to do exposition - Whedon manages to catch anyone who has never seen Firefly up to speed with pretty much everything *without* alienating fans of the show. That's skill. You even call it ballsy later on but then count that as a sin rather than a removal??? 1:06 - Because Fox owned the rights to the 'Firefly' trademark. 1:50 - The subtitles would take away from the natural feel of the billingualness. It's part of the appeal, and you can tell what's being said by the context. If it matters so much the specifics - that's what IMDb and fan sites are for! 2:06 - It's both consistent with Wash's humour and Whdonisms that the ship crashing is yada-yada'd. Everyone was bantering about the ship crashing, did any of them actually seem concerned (Apart from Jayne). 2:16 How is it out of character for Jayne to defy Mal? It's pretty consistent in the show how much Jayne obeys Mal and is actually a bit wary of him. And the one time he did defy Mal Mal almost killed him in one of my favourite scenes. There's even a scene Jaynestown where Jayne tries to bring a weapon with him when Mal said no and Mal shuts him down pretty brutally and Jayne doesn't take the weapon. 5:29 - Idunno, River wandering into the bar after losing Simon that the crew are in seems entirely consistent with River 7:35 - Huh ... almost as if that is thematically relevant .. .boy if only the show actually picked up on that, say for example in the episode The Train Job ... 9:24 - ... Why is that a sin???? 9:26 - When is it said she skins them? 10:26 - River would 12:04 - Why wouldn't they be able to stay ahead? Maybe they're faster? Also come on that 'oh crap' moment from the Operative was delicious. Deffo should cancel out a sin if nothing else. 13:47 - Did you miss the part where she has a panic episode and refuses to do anything? Which I will agree is plot convenient but at least it's consistent with River. 14:12 - Because he's clever

I was totally expecting Mal takes his helmet off - "Is there air?? You dont know!!!"

1:54 - "this is all one shot" actually it's two. There's a hidden cut on the whip pan when Mal's talking to Simon as they head downstairs. Though it think the only reason there is a cut is because the upper and lower decks of the ship are separate sets.

Nothing is wrong with my Serenity! How dare you besmirch perfection!

this was...interesting Mal: Define interesting Wash: Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Wash’s death definitely deserved like 100 sins. I swear the first time I watched Serenity I cried for an hour

"How was Serenity able to stay ahead..." WASH... SUPERPILOT... which part of this do you not get?

"Target the Reavers! Target their ships! CAN SOMEBODY FIRE?!"

CinemaSins: “They all survive this... Oh... I mean...” Me: *goes to get a drink to properly spit-take on the immediate rewatch of the previous 10 seconds*

"Serenity now! Serenity now!" Aww. RIP Jerry Stiller

I have seen plenty of my favorite movies on this channel. This series has helped me see certain flaws and plot holes, and helped me become more critical (perhaps too much sometimes), but I can still enjoy the movie simply being a movie. BUT THIS.!!!!!... Seeing this while scrolling made literally go "HOW DARE YOU?!". I almost don't want to watch, but I must

HOW DARE YOU? Serenity is flawless.

Fun fact: "Noble as a grape" is a reference to wine grapes.

The one thing that bothers me about the transition from tv to movie is the "i look out for me and mine and that don't include you unless i conjur it does" line when in the show they came back to rescue Simon and River and when Simon asked Mal why he said "you're in my crew" and reiterated it when Simon pushed the issue. And i know he can change his mind but would that would be in character for him?

"Storm's getting worse" is the motto of 2020

And yet...the dark tone of this movie makes Firefly almost look like a sitcom in comparison😵💨

"The Reavers insertion into this film feels about as organic as a Big Mac" Whut? The film was obviously always going to heavily feature the reavers as a major plot point.

Everything wrong with Serenity: No Sequel!

11:22. You are sinning it on the inaccuracies of how psychic abilities work? Think about that one for a second.

"Did you see us fight?" "No." "TRAP!!!"

I thought Noble as a Grape was kind of funny for Jayne, given the alcohol reference...

Film made explicitly to wrap up the dangling plot lines of a cancelled series gets criticized for trying to explain everything. This was way too try hard.

Sorry...109 sins deserves the verdict "I aim to misbehave..." Also...not adding 100 sins for Wash's death...too soon.

Cinema Sins asks why the reavers are in the movie......WHEN THEY ARE CRUCIAL TO THE PLOT OF THE MOVIE

Everything wrong with Serenity: Yup, that’s everything! PS - You should be sinned for half of your 'sins' being erroneous. I tried not to say anything, but 11:17 was set up in the first scene (with the agent reviewing the tape) - "Key members of Parliament..." - so if you got this far into the movie without knowing, that's a sin on you!

I love Firefly, and I love Serenity, and I love this Everything Wrong With! Great, fun, funny work! Thanks!

So you sin them for using the aberration "atmo" but then use the in series therm "verse". Let's hear that ding.

I'm sinning the fact you just skipped over the whole river fight seen in the bar, THAT DESERVES AT LEAST ONE SIN OFF GOODDAMNIT!

"I'm a leaf on the wind. Watch how I-"

1:55 - It's actually two shots (there's a cut on the stairs as it switches sets) but it's well hidden and still awesome.

This movie's biggest sin is it needing to be made. Goddamn it, Fox.

The only thing wrong with Serenity is that the show it was based on was prematurely cancelled.

I thought the skin of their friends burned off when they left “atmo”

You missed that they say near the beginning that revers like to eat people alive but never explain what they’re eating while sitting out there in space in those big ships. Why don’t they eat each other?

“This would be like calling a Star Trek movie enterprise” as if there isn’t literally a Star Trek show called enterprise

"Dear Buddha, please bring me a pony and a plastic rocket"

I gotta say, as someone who watched the movie first and only learned about the TV series much later (like, 5 years later), the movie is IMO a great big screen transition, because I somehow understood all of it in a self-contained sort of way.

I remember seeing this movie when it came out on DVD and always felt like characters were never really introduced and I was missing out on references. Guess that made sense when I finally learnt the show existed.

River says that “Mal” means “bad” in her very first episode of Firefly.

No sin off for a villain freely acknowledging that they're evil, rather than the hero of his own story? That's a sin!

Mal might mean "bad" in Latin-derived languages, but the name Malcolm is Scottish Gaelic and means "devotee of Saint Columba".

"They were expecting a sequel!?" No we are expecting for the show to come back. If "Family Guy" could do it why not "Firefly"

No sin off for the line “I am unarmed” mal “good” BANG now that’s a sin

Btw the civilian that Mal pushes off the Mule to be eaten by Reavers and then shot is Dennis from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.. 💀

EWW Serenity: It didn't launch Firefly back on the air.

"It does commit the cardinal sin of trying to cram every damn thing from the show into the movie" Speaking pure facts

NOTHING! NOTHING IS WRONG WITH MY FAVORITE MOVIE! Edit: "Serenity is a really great movie and a great transition from the tv to the big screen. However, it does commit the cardinal sin of trying to cram every damn thing from the show into the movie." I actually couldn't agree more.

As much as I do love Serenity after every rewatch of Firefly it makes me sad that we never got to see this story built up as originally planned. What did we miss because Joss crammed all the epic parts of the story into one movie.

You should do everything wrong with Disney's Atlantis: the lost empire!

The only sin in this movie is River fighting the Reavers. No way in hell her dress could survive that.
