Steven Knight squanders a top tier cast with awful dialogue and characterization. Full Review Original Score: 56/100 Nicols Delgadillo Discussing Film The film's deranged twist doesn't just flip the narrative on its head, it practically tosses it into the sea. Starting off, CinemaBlend’s own Mike Reyes gave Serenity 2.5 out of 5 stars in his review, saying. He’s laid some kind of science-fiction nonsense atop it because, apparently, the movie needed a ply of trashy.

The entire ensemble is clunky and forced. The movie’s unusual twist in particular sounds quite controversial, depending on who you ask. For reasons known only to Knight, Serenity couldn’t just be a film noir. He's given some emotional range, attempting to add a semblance of gravitas to the ludicrous script. Then we have the buff, bare-assed, perpetually wet McConaughey as the fisherman/lothario. But it’s also such a wildly ambitious roller coaster ride that it must be experienced, preferably with friends, to laugh together at its cheesy dialogue, over-the-top performances and multiple, major plot twists. Her sauntering, femme fatale persona lurches into the comical. Serenity is terrible and insane, and will surely end up being one of the worst films of 2019. Hathaway's husky voice sounds like a phone sex operator with laryngitis. Their sweaty, smokey sex scenes with Matthew McConaughey belong in a softcore B-movie. The female leads, Anne Hathaway and Diane Lane, are reduced to ridiculous sexpots. Let's start with the way the film depicts women.

Baker considers her proposal, but bizarre events lead him to question everything he knows. She wants Baker, an Iraq War veteran, to eliminate her biggest problem. What I can tell you is that Serenity is an action-packed, involving, fun, tense, and funny thrill ride that is the sci-fi movie that neither the Star Wars nor. Karen is trapped and fears for both of their lives. Baker's only concern is the welfare of their young son, Patrick (Rafael Sayegh).

SERENITY MOVIE REVIEWS TV
Ignore the damn creature and just fish for money like everyone else.īaker's life becomes complicated by the appearance of his sultry ex-wife, Karen ( Anne Hathaway). So one reason SERENITY is so good as a movie is the fact that it gets to ride piggyback on a very great TV series. His first mate and best friend, Duke (Djimon Hounsou), constantly tries to keep their business afloat. He's obsessed with catching the big one, a behemoth tuna that has eluded his grasp. Matthew McConaughey stars as Baker Dill, a hard luck fisherman with a penchant for booze and women. Serenity takes place on the Caribbean-esque Plymouth Island.
