Would anyone who was fortunate enough to have already seen the movie care to comment on the depth of the spoilers contained in the trailer? I ask as a public service for the rest of us who want to watch it, would like to remain reasonably spoiler-free, but don't mind learning a little about the film through its viewing.
I thank you in advance.

If you only watch it *ONCE* at normal speed, I'd say the spoilers are mild (assuming you already watched all the DVDs)
If you're like me and ruin it for yourself by watching the trailer 20 times in a row, frame-by-frame, and analyze what each scene and word might mean, then there are actually a moderate number of spoilers.
I've been told by those who have seen a pre-release screening that there none of the major surprises in the plot are given away by the trailer.
P.S. if anyone posts a spoiler without marking the thread/text, please contact me via my user profile and I'll move/fix the post.
Jayne, your mouth is talkin. Might want to look into that.

Shiny, this is good to hear! I am still a little hesitant to watch the trailer, but your input does set my mind to some ease. It is good to know that after only one viewing, it is reasonably certain to say that nothing major would be given away. Thanks for your input!

I really would love to get some more feedback on this topic. I prefer posting at this site rather than the official movie page since FFF has so much more to offer on a daily basis and tends to attract people who prefer sharing their ideas/art/literature over building up silly 'points' on useless posts.
With that said, can any of you flans add some meaningful contributions to this topic?

I don't think this is a spoiler. Just people I didn't see in the trailer. But just in case:
Select to view spoiler:
I didn't see Kaylee or Book.

That's not a spoiler. Just an odd choice.

The trailer made certain choices to make the movie seem more like a main-stream action/sci-fi movie and less of a western. But that's just becuase trailers have always tried to make a movie seem more like one genre or another. My point is that if you get worried that element X or person Y isn't in the movie becuase they weren't emphasized in the trailer, don't worry. It's just the marketing, the core of the movie is still Joss.
Unless you're really paranoid about spoilers I would watch the trailer if I were you. You will probably get ideas about certain plot points, but I doubt it spoils any huge revelations in the movie. And it's a lot of fun to watch and will get you excited. The downside is that watching it will make you want to see the movie tomorrow!

In response to Outrager:
Select to view spoiler:
On my third viewing I noticed two small moments where Kaylee is on the bridge with the rest of the crew. I never saw Book, though.

Well, I figured I'd see it in theaters eventually, so I might as well get it over now. I mean, maybe if it was coming out tommorow it'd be a different story, but do any of us think we can avoid seeing the trailer for 157 days? If so, great, but I know I don't have that much willpower. Anyway, it's not as spoilerish as many trailers, but it will spoil a little bit of what happens.
