Ok, near the end when "The Politician" was at the press conference and someone made certain accusations...
Trying to be vague without being spoiler-y here!

...and I was still shocked and awed by how great Redemption turned out to be !
I figured we'd get 45 minutes , like a Firefly episode , if we were fortunate. And , it was ALL GREAT !
i still can't believe that
...and the cameos, whoah-ho!!

I kind of found the cameos off-putting. Just cameos for the sake of cameos. Was Adam just filmed against a wall at a convention in whatever shirt he just happened to have on?

Redemption for ...Redemption?
Yeps. Pretty much.
To the point. I liked it. Wasn't real use to the whole 'fan movie' thing, and yeah, it was rough around the edges, but holy crap... I did like the story.
What I liked -
Big damn cameos. Had no idea there'd be ..well, any such shiny drop ins!!
More actual Chinese ( and all sorts of folk ) in the future 'verse. I'm not faulting Joss one bit, for what the suits and Hollywood confining him to in terms of cast, but man..... that was nicely done.
Sorry, I got to... Captain Matthews and her ample... tracks of land ? Unbelievable eye candy. There, I said it. 
Did I mention the cameos ?
I loved what they did with the crew. The composition, with the deal maker and the 'security'....brilliant.
Great lines, particularly - " Make it so?. Who talks like that ? " 
!!!!!!
"Pete". The camera REALLY liked her too. She reminded me of a young Selma Blair ( Hellboy, Legally Blonde )
Awesome exterior f/x. No foolin', that was a real treat.
Now, what I didn't care for...
'Some' of the writing. Might be because of the sound and camera issues, and the editing , but much of the'feel' of what was going on was simply lost. Now, to be fair, I DID like the characters, the crew especially, but some of their words and such were kinda.... lost. And as was mentioned, we didn't get enough tight shots. Takes more work to plan and edit a scene where you zoom in on each character.
Little things, like the flight deck of " Remy ". What was that late 20th century pile of coils and wires on the back wall ?
And, some head scratchin' stuff....
Gray and Jack. Were they suppose to be 'sly'? Not that there's anything wrong with that....in fact, it'd seem right normal.( Least in most parts of the 'verse.) Jack seemed to go either way, and Gray seemed to enjoy his fruity 'she' drink, but then again, I wasn't sure what to make of them.
I'd love to see these folks try something again, with a bit more time and , of course, money. Proper camera work , some more fleshed out interior sets, and there's something worthy of FOX cancelling after just 1 show !

I'm going to assume from here on forward that you won't hear anything that contradicts the love of all things Redemption. That said, I hope they sell a million copies of this thing for the charities and make another film, whether I like it or not.

Did ya miss the part where I said I didn't care for all of it?
There are other things I could add, but that'd just be piling on. The basic thing was, it was a fan movie, and not the most graceful thing put on screen ever. If there were another effort, I'd prefer more attention to be given to editing, scene set ups, you know..film making 101 stuff.
But that's just me.
