Hullo all!
And we held the hill. And fortified it with the bodies of the men and women cut down by cruel words and thoughtless action. Now and again messengers came with scraps of paper bearing tales of the 'verse, and we savoured these and held them close to our hearts - for they were our only connection to the sky we were forced from.
And so we waited. Waited for the angels to come and fill the sky, ships descending and taking us back into the verse to be with the people we loved and the adventures we shared. But no one can wait forever, and little by little, we were broken.
And then out of the dust came a man on horseback. His face was hard to place, it slid from our minds even as we looked upon him. Some folk spoke of him as a tall man, others as a short fella. Later still some said that it was no man at all, but a woman who carried the news. It was then we realised that this was no individual, but the spirit of the people of the verse we had left behind, carrying a message for us all. A message stamped in video and sound and like a well of water for a dying man.
We asked this enigmatic character how they got through the barren wasteland. How they survived the merciless demons of the waste who sought to tear and render those who did not submit to the dull monotony. The messenger simply said, "You can't stop the signal."
And then the messenger faded away into the distance. An every-figure of all those big damn heroes who were bringing us the relief, the escape.
And I saw a world in ruins.
And I saw many lands of many tales.
And I saw a girl dancing in a fight of grace.
And I saw a shape, and the shape brought pain.
And I saw a man, and his name was death.
And I saw a hero, and his name was Bad.
And I saw a crew, and their fate was unknown.
And I saw a chase, and the blooded hounds.
And I saw a hundred ships in the sky, and not all of them could hold on.
And I saw a thousand suns, and they all screamed, "The End!" in balls of flame.
And I saw the sky.
And I saw it all while I flew.
The angels are coming. We hit that button and they're coming home. Just a little longer...
(And it's a damn fine trailer)

Ah!
Sorry! A double post. Making me sound even more pompous than usual. Let me just say that I am truly thrilled by this trailer, hence the high-falutin' talk in the previous post.
Apologies.

It looks cool, you can certainly see where the extra cash has been spent. But I don't think it shows too many spoilers (though I haven't seen the movie so I can't guarantee it and I'm avoiding any of the spoilers anyway!). But though there are Reavers and Summer Glau is very matrixy, didn't we all kinda figure these things out long before the movie was ever gonna be released?
After all, if Summer wasn't going to show more killer instincts, why were we introduced to her gun toting skills in the first place? And why mention Reavers if they're never going to appear?
Also note! No blue hands on any of the movie trailer cast. And where's Book? I reckon Whedon is just toying with us, hiding Book in a library somewhere! He'll appear halfway through the movie having been in a monastery somewhere! Although there's an easier way to find out if Book's in the movie, just check the cast list! Plus, is the redhead gonna return? I liked her! 
Yowser!
I'm also hoping that the movie trailer is just aimed at the standard kick-ass fans that such trailers are usually aimed at. Let's hope that the humour, banter and on-ship plot structure still continues apace. After all, I'd like to see Kaylee and the Doc have a quick snog behind the engine housing and lots of love confusion from the Cap'n and the Whore would be good as well!
A husband/wife spat could also be added to the mix! Though maybe that's just too much for one movie, or otherwise we'll have nothing to look forward to in "Serenity 2: The Redhead Returns!" 
Finally, I just loved the Capn's reaction to an unarmed killer at the end of the trailer! Reminded me of his treatment of the agent in episode 1; shoot first! Don't give a **** about the consrquences!

Yup, there seems to be a ragtag army of ships (none of the "clean" Alliance ones) possibly mounting an attack...
Select to view spoiler:
Good ole Serenity is at the middle... and the Space Shuttle-looking Reaver ship is on the lower left

Flip!
That makes a triple post!
Sorry, sorry! My web-browser wasn't updating and like a fecking eijit I kept hitting refresh. Honestly, sometimes it's a wonder I don't accidently stab myself in the eye when peeling oranges, eh?
To re-iterate. I loved that trailer. Now to wait half an hour while this edit updates and pray I haven't done it anywhere else...
