See that ? I shouldn't even have read your reply!
I feel like Doc Brown, in Back to the Future.
Not another word!

Well, I STARTED watching it....
The money went for a good cause.
My local library will be getting a DVD donated to them, very soon.

And you should finish watching it before you judge it.
I'd say that NO low budget, fan-made movie will ever challenge a professionally produced TV show or movie,
especially one the caliber of Firefly.
If that was ever the expectation for Browncoats: Redemption, or for that matter:
Mosquito
Faith of a Man
Into The Black
Bellflower
Big Iron
Courage: The Series
Fool Me Twice
Reaverized
The Ruins of Du-Khang
The Game
Freedom: The Series
then that isn't reasonable.
Although B:R isn't Firefly,
I guess I feel a sense of disappointment that there are folks who can live on a Browncoats' board,
and not share a sense of appreciation for what the B:R crew accomplished.
Watch it all,
and say it's not your cup-o'-tea,
but at least know why you don't like it.

Oh, I'll finish watching it.... it's just the first bit I did see...
Select to view spoiler:
I get the intent, and appreciate the effort, I really do. But there's a gripe I have when folks sort of over do things, to hype the fact that this is a FIREFLY based story, and to make sure we all know it, we're going to drop in as many "shiny", " gorram " or " pee-goo's " as we can.
Of course I wasn't expecting Joss and Co. level of writing, that's just be silly. No where else in Hollywood , where folks do this for a living, do we find the sort of excellence Joss has snagged over the years. But that's sort of my point. If you're going to write something like this, start off w/ the basics... a good solid story, and then , as you flesh out the particulars, feel your way around a bit, drop in a " gorram " or a bit of Chinese, as it feels right. I get the impression, from what little I've seen, that they've crammed into the conversation those words and phrases most die hard fans would easily recognize, as if to say.... " Hey ! ya remember that from the series, right ? Well, we're using it now too! So you know we're really trying ! "
OVER trying, is more like it.

I feel it did snag a piece of the 'Verse quite well.
More than anything else, I loved the story. Simple, straightfoward... no, it wasn't Firefly, nor was it meant to be. These peeps knew their limitations, and stayed fairly well within them.
Okay, no space battle, but how many were in FIREFLY?
Kudos to the Big Damn Fan Film!!!

What exactly didn't you like in the first part of it?
Did you expect a Universal Studios quality movie, or did someone explain to you that this was a Fan Film (no sarcasm intended)?
