What Firefly speaks well to its audience is a form of sincere storytelling that fully evokes the ageless feeling of adventure.

For a film that tries to come off as having Christian values and even haphazardly throws in a silly portrayal of Jesus for extra points, its message is shockingly nihilistic.

For a piece of history that, outside of the academe, is not discussed in depth, the film treats its audience to a story accentuated by convincing production design and great performances from its ensemble cast, titular trio aside.
