The settings and tone are hyper-real, yet the human behaviour is grounded and credible, the moral conflicts complex and involving. Shiny, intelligent fun.

Go out and see Joss Whedon's witty whizbang of an action movie, or we will kill a kitten.
Ken Tucker, New York Magazine/Vulture

It has a great sense of humor about it, an attractive cast and it's just a lot of fun.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

Taut, immersive, and alternately hilarious and heartbreaking, a well-balanced blend of whooping Wild West action and space opera.
