You really did fine job of converting this TV series into a trilogy of movies!
Your work convinces me that that FireFly should continue as a movie series!
Audio & Video & Narrative edits just flowed so well.
The only thing to make these edits better would be the video to be in hi def 1080p!
Thank you MusicEd921!

This is from my review of part 3 of the trilogy which judges the trilogy as a whole.

Bottom line: If you like sci fi, please give this edit a try, you won't regret it. It is Amazing!

Review- I missed the entire Firefly run when it was out but my dad's a fan so I decided to check this out. It was fantastic. I love TV-to-movie edits because, when done right, they tell the core story of the series without being bogged down by the commercial motivation all TV shows have to keep expanding/adding fluff to meet a series quota. Entertaining, well acted, and well paced, this is an edit anyone who likes good sci fi should catch. It is reminiscent simultaneously of Battlestar Galactica and spaghetti westerns, and thats as good as you can get. Nathan Fillion is great in it as well as the rest of the cast.

This edit is done perfectly, it captures the essence of a solid sci fi show, and I bought the series just to watch and recommend this musiced's work here. Highest recommendation for this trilogy! Congrats man.

This review is for Serenity Chronicles I and II. Like the poster before me, I didn't find anything wrong with the edit. It works just fine. In the case of part II, I thought the removing of the gruesome scenes from the "hands in blue" characters was well done.

I guess my main criticism is there was nothing much that needed fixing from the original series, as long as you view the episodes in order. This version works well, too, but it doesn't add alter the narrative or add anything much except for the River interviews, which were a good contribution.

I'm in the throws of a terrible sinus infection, so I will keep this review short--which is pretty easy since there is simply nothing wrong anywhere in the whole edit.
Firefly always seemed too good for TV, too cinematic, and this 2nd edit in MusicEd's trilogy confirms this. This type of edit can easily feel strung together from separate episodes, but this holds together very very well, with a through-line focused on River as well as a good clear idea of the state of the 'verse and how difficult it is to get medicine out to everyone who needs it on the outer planets. I liked that the cargo in both capers featured was medicine, as if it has become the most valuable thing in this universe.
It is also worth noting how perfectly balanced this whole thing is and how no character is short-changed. It would have been easy to cut scenes of Inara or Book and keep this still flowing seamlessly, but keeping them in stays truer to Firefly. I am looking forward to the 3rd one very much, as well as rewatching this one when I am not dying of this sinus/ear infection :-)
Highly recommended! Pretty much perfection!

Okay edit-wise this is perfect, I liked the inclusion of the River Tam sessions as flashbacks, generally I didn't have fault with the use of deleted scenes in the first chapter other than the fact you could sort of f tell they were deleted scenes, this isn't an issue here. Nothing lost or noticeable except for maybe one scene change.

Story:Okay, The first volume dealt with getting the crew together and barely did we get to see Simon or River, because that was not their story. here they take joint centre stage with Mal and Zoe. And Jayne of course, as I already said, the inclusion of Rivers videos helps to establish her character a little more and even though I already know what happens, the final scene of the edit left me wanting more.

I urgently anticipate the third and final chapter.
Congrats and thank you MusicED921 for an entertaining reentry into the whedonverse.
