Serenity

I really enjoyed this movie, mainly because I like a good action/sci-fi, but I also found the premise and the end very interesting. With the takeover of the alliance many people had to flee or decided to stay on the outskirts in order to survive, like the crew of the serenity. Then River and her brother show up and know something that is very bad for the alliance, so the alliance goes after them. I liked this movie because of the characters and the twists that occur. After the crew finds out about the planet on the outskirts called Miranda, where no one has ever been or heard of they decide to go investigate. It is a very hard journey since an army of reavers(the cannibalistic bad guys) stands between them and the planet. Then they finally get to the supposedly deserted planet and find a bunch of abandoned cities. As they enter the city they see dead bodies everywhere, until they finally find a transmition that explains what has happened. How the alliance tried out a drug on the planet to try to relieve aggression, and it worked only too well because the majority of the population lost all aggression, along with their will to live. While a small minority of the people became hyper-aggressive and dangerous-becoming the reavers. So their group found out that not only had their trusted government killed off an entire population, but they had created the reavers, who were horrible monsters who loved to kill. And the government pretended as though it had all never happened. In the movie it was crazy to see that a government had killed off an entire population, but then there are so many examples of it happening here, i.e. WW2 and Rwanda. So while it may seem unlikely to us that the government would test drugs on us that could kill us all, it may not be as unlikely as it seems. And a lot of the time there is no way to tell what has happened or could happen, because it would be so easy to hide it from everyone.
