Eye C I don’t get the hate on this, they did a Truman Show/Matrix. It’s not great but not awful either. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/28/24 Full Review Joel P I liked it. Glad I didn't read these reviews before I watched it. After reading the reviews most of the negativity revolves around " not what I expected, unnecessary sex, or I didn't get it. Compared to most of the crap I have to shift through on these streaming services to find a decent movie, this one's not bad IMO Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/08/24 Full Review Ventsislav Y Definetly does not deserve the ratings the movie received. It´s a decent story with a good twist. Worth a watch Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/26/24 Full Review Scott K This film exceeded in levels purely of an imagination off course of a writers perspective. It's like when you're writing a story about the main character narrating that they're the author of the story you're writing. Catches a very mild effect of plot twist to where you still wonder what's happening behind the eyes of the main character Patrick even during the ending. With trauma hiding behind computer screens Patrick plays a small yet largely immense part in the film never explaining how he even started the game to begin with. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/23/24 Full Review Clay E I can’t believe that this movie didn’t get more attention. It’s exactly the type of movie I’ve been recently looking for and haven’t been able to find. Solid casting. Interesting concept. I’ll be watching it again. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/02/24 Full Review Gary B [SPOILER ALERT] Shallow people always hate what they don't understand, and the overwhelmingly negative response from critics about Serenity is evidence of those critics' shallowness. They thought they were getting a steamy, sweaty, story of tropical intrigue, and were POed when it became something else. Well, they were getting what they thought--but the story was written by a 13-year-old boy. They complained about broad dialogue. Again, the 13-year-old creator, a computer genius who created the story to escape from the reality of his abusive stepfather, and designed a fantasy world game in which the main character is his deceased father, Baker Dill, a fisherman (brilliantly portrayed by Matthey McConaughey). What really annoyed those critics--who just wanted noir, steamy sex and light coming through venetian blinds--is that Serenity is actually an amazing journey into the existential. If you think of the world of Serenity as the real world, and its creator as our Creator, you might begin to understand what I'm getting at. Baker Dill has one consuming motivation--to catch a prize fish. Where did he get that motivation? His creator. So, where do you get your motivations? But Dill's motivation changes. He begins to feel a stronger urge--an urge to do something bad to accomplish something good. Where did that motivation come from? From the purposes of his creator, who is exploring those purposes through the characters in his game. Of which one is his father, who grapples with the meaning of his own existence as the truth of the game comes to light. And as we do, as the truth of the game on this earth comes to light. Great stuff. Give it a try. Be patient and drop all expectations. The truth will be revealed. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/18/24 Full Review Read all reviews
