ISLANDS explores a cinematic journey of two astronauts. As they enter Earth’s atmosphere the structure transforms. The spacecraft becomes the meteor from a myth of a tribesman; it triggers an old lady’s memory of a lover from her past.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The best parts of "Done the Impossible" were hearing the cast and crew tell the story of "Firefly"'s life and death. It's nice to hear genuine sentiment from those that worked on the show, and know that it wasn't just a paycheck and a cancellation shrug when Fox pulled it. But this is the story told from an assortment of fans - which is an interesting idea for a documentary, but here its testimony from (seemingly) hundreds or random people, clips thrown together with little flow. Bouncing from one Browncoat to another. I don't know these people, and I've never had a religious experience with something like this (like they have), so the fandom was a turn-off. I know that's just me, but it's also why I didn't take to this.Although it did make me want to watch the show again.5/10

I am a big fan of Firefly & Serenity and I loved this film. It is very positive and uplifting and it reminds me of how how big an accomplishment the Browncoats accomplished in getting Serenity. I have shown it to people who have never seen Firefly before, and they enjoyed it. It got them curious and interested in finding out what was behind it.The film itself is beautifully made. Lots of great original music and the soundtrack is well worth having. The DVD has tons of extras and is packed full of details. The filmmakers were open minded enough to release the documentary under a Creative Commons license, so it can be viewed (without the special extra features) for free.

This doc belongs on your shelf right next to your "Firefly" set and your copy of "Serenity". Actually, it belongs between them. Because this is really the story of how fan passion helped lead from a canceled show to a movie, and beyond.This is a fine, polished film on its own merits. But it is an absolute must for Firefly fans or anyone interested in the push a dedicated fandom can give to a beloved sci-fi property.The film's makers secured cast members for interviews - a big piece of work on its own. (And the soundtrack is just kick-butt, to boot!)

I read this on IGN, and when I saw the documentary, I understood why. "Only watch it if you really really love Firefly" and it's true, because, honestly, I love Firefly. I really do, but I still often go "it's just a TV-show" while watching it. The biggest reason why is mostly because I can't really relate to any people that much. I admit that I'm a nerd, but I'm a different nerd from most people there (who are not all nerds btw, but so different from me).Although the story behind Firefly is great, I loved the extras on the Firefly and Serenity DVDs more. When I saw those things, and heard of the story behind it, I had never felt so proud owning a box of DVDs. But the story behind it, how they was destined for doom before it even had a chance to show what it's got, and how the fans understood that, and so many did, and many other put so much effort in bringing it back. It's nice, but they go too deep into the details.
