Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

rob-sibley At first the notion of a science fiction movie with Native Americans seems a little unusual. However, in the context of this film it makes sense. "Legends From The Sky" explains how some of the mystique surrounding Native myths could have come about. But this isn't just a movie about Navajo's, it's about many American tribes and even about people from other nations who seem to have supernatural abilities. There is a pretty good story about a black-ops department of the government and their over reach into the lives of peaceful people with some unexpected plot twist that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. The photography is impressive. Especially the scenes shot in the state of Washington. There are some remarkable aerial shot of the Navajo Reservation with striking visual effects. And the humorous situations the protagonist finds himself in helps break the tension as the story takes us on a roller-coaster ride of intrigue and suspense. It's fun. It's mysterious. It's exciting. It's a good film for everyone in the family.

JayRoss Slivers Firstly, This Film Gave The Navajo People a Truly More Accurate Portrayal of Their Language, Given That Other Films Have Tried to Succeed in This Venture Have Truly Failed; Windtalkers (Was an Abomination to the Story Of Our Heroes the Navajo Code Talkers)and Other Films Have Used Other Native Americans Try to Speak Our Language, but They Do NOT Come Close.The Story is a great metaphor for a story I have heard from one of my elders and I was truly amazed at how this film portrayed that story and kept details and the respect it gave to the story that must revolve around not just the Navajo folklore but others as well; you see all Native tribes have a story about space and time and I felt this film simply gave a representation of that story.As for the cast, they have done an amazing job; be that this is an Independent film the acting is suitable for most to understand. The plot is one many will be on the edge of their seats as the film progresses to its climatic ending.Travis Holt Hamilton has done a great job with this being his first Sci-Fi Film tying in with a Native American Story. This Film is a MUST WATCH and is a Rare Gem...Many of Hollywood's films revolving around our Navajo lifestyle have simply been stereotypical.

riman643 There are very few movies that come out in January that can be called a good movie. This is not one of them. Legends from the Sky follows Lyle (Edsel Pete) a Navajo war veteran who can see visions of his grandfather who is essentially being held captive by a mysterious government organization after a UFO crashed on his land. With the help of reporter Tanya Marshall (Mia Sable) and UFO conspiracy theorist Tom (Ernest Tsosie III, Lyle slowly finds his destiny and what he must do to save his grandfather.The acting in this movie is horrible. Every line the actors deliver is forced and awkward. The dialogue is cringe-worthy, dull, and most of the time nonsensical. The plot has many, many holes in it that takes you out of the movie. This mysterious 'elite' government organization has such advanced technology and resources, yet this injured, unfit, war veteran can cause them trouble. I don't buy for a second. The visual effects were bad as well and you can easily tell when the green screen is used. It takes you out of the movie completely. The only reason I am giving this movie 2 stars is that this story had potential had it been written and directed by someone with at least a tad bit of talent.Legends from the Sky is a movie that had the potential to have an interesting story but ultimately suffers from terrible acting, bad special effects, and some of the worst writing and directing I have seen in recent memory.

Todd Bradley A flying saucer crashes near the home of an old man on the Navajo reservation. The man is abducted by federal agents. His grandson Lyle is a recently-returned US Army veteran, who goes on a quest to find him. In the course of his search, Lyle encounters a government conspiracy, supernatural forces, a wacko federal bureaucrat and his bumbling henchmen, friends and family who won't or can't help, and an ancient secret society.This independent film has great cinematography, sub-par writing, and mediocre directing. But there aren't very many films with this much dialogue in the Navajo language, so it's got that going for it. It could've been a better film given some more work on the script, but as it is there are a lot of characters and plot elements that are just too far-fetched to believe, and unfortunately too much overacting.IMDb categorizes the film as sci-fi, but it's not. There's really nothing sci-fi about this, and it's better thought of as a drama or action film. Maybe that's a marketing thing.I loved seeing the Navajo Nation as the setting for a feature film, and appreciated seeing so many Navajos playing Navajo roles. And it was a gutsy move to have a good chunk of the dialogue in Navajo. In fact, I think the only film I've seen with more Navajo dialogue was the dubbed version of Star Wars that came out a couple years ago.
