Serenity - Best Sci-Fi/Fantasy Movies from TV Shows

[Elite Anubis Guard]

1) Serenity (2005)
A true rarity among big-budget sci-fi films, Serenity offers insightful dialogue, thoughtful characterizations, and a ton of bang-up fun that never dumbs the movie down. A group of barely-getting-by "cargo transporters" provides the most unlikely of havens for a talented but deranged escapee from The Alliance. What secrets does she know that has an assassin hunting them, and in such an incredibly screwed-up universe, can people find the strength to even care about what's right?

Any media exposure for Serenity is great...
Hopefully that'll trickle into video rentals and video sales...

I'd probably have to agree with this choice. I liked both Star Trek films on that list as well (in fact I think they are the best ones - even though I preferred First Contact). Haven't seen the other two but Serenity was probably just a tad better than First Contact so it deserves to be in that top spot.
