I thought a very good job of explaining the backstory of the movie (short history of the universe voice-over, followed by a scene which takes place before the TV series and seamlessly blends into the movie-time present.)  Fans are even given new info here. The humor was all very in character and relevant (and funny), very little "insider" type stuff.  There were a couple of character introductions (Book and Inara) I thought might seem a little shallow for the non-fan (proto-fan?), but don't think it could have been helped without getting too expository.Overall, I would strongly recommend the movie for the uninitiated, guardedly for the unconverted, and enthusiasticaly for the disciples of Joss <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
