It is the story that has aroused great controversy. The story tells of a man named Becker Dell, a captain of a fishing boat driving tours to a quiet tropical pocket called Plymouth Island. Things may change soon after her ex-wife, Karen, is chasing more desperately for help. Karen seems to be begging Del to save her and her young son from her violent new husband as the fishing trip seems to turn into a completely different turn.
Serenity is a weirdly intimate film that builds a world so peculiar and enigmatic, it keeps you constantly guessing. Knight's experiment is a great success with one of the most chilling twists, ever.
Neither tense, genuinely philosophical or surprising, Serenity ends up leaving the audience groaning, laughing hysterically at its awful execution, or willing the pain to end as its dated ideas play out.
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.
