I see the Reavers attacking a community, and a small boy running away. Death and destruction, and all that, I could even see Mal finding perhaps Inara dead, then Mal wakes up.

They have him go up to the bridge with Wash telling them they will be ready to leave whenever everyone gets back. They are also picking Inara up. Cue the exotic space port with fancy dressed people.

They then have Simon, River and Kaylee come back from a little outing, River being much calmer, but still a little skewed. Jayne comes back from picking up some supplies along with Zoe. Book had his own little secret meeting.

Then we see the blue hands down on the planet as the ship takes off. We see Mal's relief as all his people are in place, and he's in the sky again.

my reckoning is it would open on an old man preferrably black sitting in an old wooden chair on the veranda of a store on the main street of a dusty old town playing a beat up guitar singing a blues version of the firefly theme, then Mal will come flying through the window behind him holding a bag from some heist he's pulling, Jayne and Zoe will come out walking backwards shooting guns at their pursuers. the serenity will land in the middle of the street, They will get in and the serenity will fly away, then we'll get alot of quick expositional dialogue about who everyone is out of the way for the rest of the movie

I’ve been away a bit, do we know anything about the plot of the movie? Assuming we don’t:

I would like to see something with River for the opening, then have it cut to ha heist that introduces the characters. That way it could set up some interactions with the blue hands.

I’d like the whole movie to be about that, you know (or maybe you don’t) a heist that gets messed up by their involvement to start, then learning more about River’s past, and Book too, in the process. Maybe have it be like Ariel where they break in somewhere specifically to help River.

I seem to have a knack for coming in on threads when it's too late to be relevant, but here are my thoughts anyway:

Though I love the thoery that Mal's boyhood home was wiped out by reavers leaving him as the sole survior, I don't think that was the way of it.
Joss has said that he wanted us to see mal as a man of hope and faith in the beginning of the pilot. I think something like that would have certainly destroyed his hope and his faith long before the war. I admit though that I don't have a theory of my own, so take it for what you will.

as far as the openning scene, I just want to see serenity.
