Steven Knight ("Eastern Promises", "Seventh Son") writes and directs this bonkers story that goes nowhere very fast. Whatever fever dream he took this from, it was better off in his head. Serenity may go down as one of the finest "so bad it's good" films of the last decade. There are many times you will throw out your arms in confusion yelling, "what the f*ck!" and then never get answers to said confusion. The setups are paid off half way through the movie, and then your left with the paper thin characters trying to put the pieces together of a mystery the audience has already solved, and the way the characters go about is so mundane, and so stupid. It's just unreal that this has an A-list cast, and got world wide distribution.
