Critics Consensus: A high-concept mystery with a twist, Serenity isn't what it appears to be at first -- unfortunately, it's also not anywhere near as clever or entertaining as it thinks.

If you like seeing authentically unusual movies, then ignore the haters: In its fusion of disparate genres, its sentimentality, and its weirdness, Serenity is actually worth watching.
"Serenity" is, instead, full of ludicrous trivializations that bypass the story's troubling implications.
The movie becomes even more ridiculous after its big reveal, which is obvious from early on and suggested in the opening shot.
The film's maritime setting has a certain aptness because Serenity has all the hallmarks of a fish tale. Unfortunately, Knight lets this one get away.
At the critics' screening I attended, the audience was reduced to hysterics.
A production more apt to deliver frustration than gratification.
This is a tragic example of a film that stinks in the first half, then spends the second half explaining that the first half was bad on purpose.
McConaughey and Hathaway shared much chemistry in the 2014 Christopher Nolan sci-fi opus Interstellar, but here, there are absolutely no sparks between them.
It forces your face to contort into shapes you didn't even know it could make in response to the hilarious awfulness of it all.
If there is a constituency for Serenity other than the very forgiving mothers of the people who made it, I cannot even start to imagine who it might consist of.
It unfortunately seems Knight believed the "coolness" factor of his premise would overshadow his inability to render it authentically.
Unfortunately, that destination was a disappointment. But that's not to say that I didn't largely enjoy the ride provided by writer-director Steven Knight.
