My husband is VERY difficult to like TV series and movies. And Firefly is actually one of his favorites ever (among House, Lost and Futurama).<br /> <br /> But you need to start with the TV series, not the movie. Please try to get the series via Netflix or something, or by buying the DVD from Amazon (one of the best selling TV series on DVD ever). Then, watch the episodes from the beginning, and at the end check out the movie again, it will make more sense.<br /> <br /> Firefly is kinda weird at the beginning, but from the moment you "get" their world, it draws you in.<br /> <br /> The humor is great btw. It's the best element on the series. Adam, don’t give up. My husband is VERY difficult to like TV series and movies.

Firefly is kinda weird at the beginning, but from the moment you “get” their world, it draws you in.

The humor is great btw. It’s the best element on the series.

Even today when I search for firefly quotes and I remember the scenes I just can't stop smiling :) Now somethin' about that is just downright unsettlin' :)) Now come on, I always liked the hilarious language use in the series to be the most source of fun, some dialogues were so really funny I laughed for minutes in a row :) Realistic or not, laughable or else, without the accents and the wording the whole thing would’ve lost a lot from its charm.

Worth watching at some point in life but nothing to fuss about. If it were allowed to run couple of more seasons, I doubt there would be a fun base!
