Review of Serenity

7/10
I don't understand bad reviews

I found this film great, thought provoking and very well done. The cast is perfect; the paradisiac locations, the magical atmosphere, and the plot twists are great.

Overall, we show here to Matthew McConaughey on the type of role to which we are accustomed. I would not say too much about the plot, or the evident holes or problems that the movie also have.

It is way better if you watch it with the minimum information possible; so, if you read this, watch the movie before read anything else and pay attention to the detail. There are some scenes in which the realizator masterfully and subtly introduced details that are very revealing (including blinks to gamers in several key scenes, The Old Man and the Sea, and other stuff).

If you liked Black Mirror, Inception and Interstellar, you probably will enjoy this little gem. Believe me: it is not a bad movie at all.

I'm still thinking about the multiple interpretations of this movie (the script purposely does not clarify all, even giving the false impression that everything have been explained, leaving the viewer to discuss some possible options). Here, again, Matthew McConaughey, like in Interstellar, tells us about a father's love and redemption beyond the limits of space and time. Anne Hathaway, Djimon Hounsou and Diane Lane are here simply fantastic.
