Exactly what I thought when I read that....

That said, my order is in...

It is the closest I've seen yet. The plot pivots in a very Jossy/Firefly kind of way and in some of the dialog I could swear I was listening to the series.

Oh, and the cameos... just wait till you see them, your jaw will drop!

I'm kinda not understanding why this thread isn't getting more play....

Yes, yes, the cameos! Hehe, that's definitely fun to look for on a first, second, or third watching! I watched the online premiere since I couldn't be at Dragon*Con, and my family and I enjoyed it together. :) Oh, and a less-noticeable "cameo" is a musical piece towards the middle of the film that Greg Edmonson composed as his contribution to the effort. It's *beautiful* and placed at an emotional reflective scene. I was pretty impressed by the music throughout; it really felt like it was from the 'Verse.

The dialogue definitely uses Firefly-speak, and they had a Chinese language consultant for the film to include a handful of Chinese curses. Oh, not to mention that Browncoats: Redemption features a couple of "Strong Female Characters." ;)

I went ahead and bought two copies--one as a gift. I would definitely encourage any and all readers of this thread, lurkers or posters, to buy the DVD and support the fan effort and charities! Even though there's some room for improvement, these Browncoats brought a major undertaking to fruition that many fans have only talked about thus far. Kudos to them!

Think of it this way: you get to support Joss Whedon's, Ron Glass', Adam Baldwin's, Jewel Staite's and Nathan Fillion's favorite charities, and as a bonus, you get a shiny, fan-produced DVD movie thrown in to enjoy over and over again!

My online receipt seems to indicate that I'm the 474th person to order as of yesterday (the second day it was available).
I take it that it's doing well then-?
