Review of Serenity (2019)

By Laura Clifford (2,742) for Reeling Reviews (4,376) on 24 Jan 2019

It seems silly, until it doesn't, the expected closing credit updates at once chastising us for our misplaced amusement and muddying those…

Review of Serenity (2019)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for Blu-ray.com (2,093) on 24 Jan 2019

There are certainly few pictures like it, but such oddity can't pull Serenity out of the tailspin it eventually finds itself in…

Review of Serenity (2019)

By Kimber Myers (423) for The Playlist (3,871) on 24 Jan 2019

The oily slick of sin across the surface of this film isn’t what makes it wickedly fun; it’s the utter devotion to its bonkers twist, at…

Review of Serenity (2019)

By David Crow (142) for Den of Geek (424) on 24 Jan 2019

The film is so desperate to be clever that it steers its well-worn boat off the charted course and into a watery grave of instant ignominy…

Review of Serenity (2019)

By Kim Hughes (164) for Original Cin (1,156) on 24 Jan 2019

Conceptually ambitious and sporadically entertaining but more often confusing and ultimately kind of dumb, Serenity must have seemed appealingly…

Review of Serenity (2019)

By Michael O'sullivan (1,712) for Washington Post (9,851) on 24 Jan 2019

The twist is, yes, audacious, even daring. It’s full of risk and defiance of expectation. So half a star for that…

Review of Serenity (2019)

By Richard Roeper (2,737) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 24 Jan 2019

The spiritual angle in Serenity is just one of the many elements making this one of the most ambitious, one of the most challenging — and…

Review of Serenity (2019)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 24 Jan 2019

The atmosphere in Serenity, by design, imparts a slightly uneasy and hermetic feeling…

Review of Serenity (2019)

By Rafer Guzman (1,080) for Newsday (2,345) on 24 Jan 2019

A potentially enjoyable B movie, but the absurd plot twist brings it down to a Z…

Review of Serenity (2019)

By Gary Thompson (1,554) for Philadelphia Daily News (1,596) on 24 Jan 2019

The fact that it’s a Razzie contender, of course, is no reason not to see it. In fact it could be an inducement — Razzie movies can be quite fun…

Review of Serenity (2019)

By Barry Hertz (792) for Globe and Mail (2,419) on 24 Jan 2019

From its intense beginnings to its what-really-c’mon-no-reallllllly-c’mon mid-film twist to its defiantly and successfully sentimental…

Review of Serenity (2019)

By Chris Nashawaty (734) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 24 Jan 2019

It wants to be trashy, pulpy fun that toys with your mind and your expectations. Sadly, it just ends up insulting both…

Review of Serenity (2019)

By Jude Dry (205) for indieWire (3,631) on 24 Jan 2019

The big reveal at the end of the second act is absurd enough to pump some adrenaline into the third act, but the movie drags on too long afterwards…

Review of Serenity (2019)

By Todd Mccarthy (1,810) for Hollywood Reporter (2,966) on 24 Jan 2019

Like a long fishing day without a bite, Serenity invites impatience rather than excited anticipation, and the eventual payoff provokes a big…

Review of Serenity (2019)

By Wesley Morris (1,967) for New York Times (5,786) on 24 Jan 2019

More than half the reason I went to see this movie is because I miss “Fool’s Gold,” too. But that movie is 11 years old…

Review of Serenity (2019)

By Charles Bramesco (223) for Guardian (4,584) on 24 Jan 2019

The cinema calendar is chockablock with faulty efforts built around perfectly serviceable ideas, but realized without a modicum of distinction…

Review of Serenity (2019)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 24 Jan 2019

It’s one of those projects that initially seems hokey beyond repair but quickly evolves into something genuinely unique…

Review of Serenity (2019)

By Dan Mecca (208) for The Film Stage (3,162) on 24 Jan 2019

One can respect what Knight is trying at, while never fully buying into it…

Review of Serenity (2019)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 24 Jan 2019

Though Serenity is blessed with a goofily enjoyable high concept, it doesn’t exploit it very effectively…
