i usually keep my language in check but HOLY FRIGGIN CRAP! i CANNOT WAIT ANYMORE! the trailer was OUTRAGEOUS! i LOVED IT! it is so great to see the characters and the familiar ship in movie quality production. not that the tv show was bad, it was quite good for a tv show but movies always carry that little something extra. the colors are richer, the lines are cleaner. did anyone think serenity looked a little different? cleaner?
any thoughts on the quote at the end? "you can't stop the signal"?

For that's ALL I can do right now.
It took ages to load completely, but once it did...WOO! Not only is it completely gorgeous, but it's so in the spirit of Firefly. How I've longed to hear another line from our BDHs!
I was also wondering why it said '6 Rebels', and about the sound outside of atmo. I hope that's not really in the movie...?
Oh. My. Joss. I keep watching it over and over...maybe I don't care about things like that anymore. ^_^ This has completely renewed my excitement for the movie. 157 days!

Hey all. Saw the trailer a number of times and even went through it frame by frame to see what the small blips are. And for the most part, I'm impressed. You put this in front of HITCHIKER'S, SW 3, BATMAN BEGINS, FANTASTIC 4, or any other BDM of the summer, you will definitly have millions of people who've never heard about our BDH's be chomping at the bit to see it.
First off, I like the tracking shot from the engine to the cockpit of the ship as it was re-entering. Definitly grabs the interest of the viewer. The successive montage of all the different crew members struck me a lot. They seem more wearier than the last time we saw them. They seemed less healthy and more desperate and gaunt-like. Especially Jayne. His hair seems to have grown out the most, making him nearly unrecognizable. This isn't a bad thing. Just surprising is all.
And the general look of the trailer is really dark. Blue is the most predominant color in all the shots, and the general mood is of unease. Now it's obvious why. It's just that I figured the trailer might show off more of the Whedon-esque humor and let of the nihilistic BLADE RUNNER vide, complete with a shot that seems like an updated version of the world of BLADE RUNNER. I know it does slightly, but not by much. And I was picturing the trailer to look more yellowish. It's just that since it is as sci-fi western, I thought it would have more of a westerny feel to it, and less of a blue-ish, dipped in formaldehyde look.
But that, as well as the techno music and River going all Trinity a bit too much, are my only complaints. Other than that, the trailer is kick-ass. The twins Mal and Jayne meet in the bar look intriguing, the Reavers (who I imagined resembled the zombies from George Romero's Dead movies) look pretty damn scary in an Orc kind of way. My favorite shot of the whole thing was where the Chiwel Eijofher character walks though the reflection of the still image of River. Reminds me of the great moment in LEGEND where the devil dude steps out of the mirror. The favorite small bits for me were Simon in action (pushing Kaylee away from an explosion, launching that plasma bomb thing into the air to disable the BRAZIL like chair River was strapped into) and Wash's bit was my favorite spoken bit of dialogue. And I definitly want to be in the front row when Serenity is caught between a rock (The Alliance) and a hard place (Reavers) out in the vacuum of space.
From a culture analysts P.O.V., the quotes from the various sites and the acknowledgement of the worldwide cult behind it counting in the millions (I never knew we had that many people behind this) tickles me because it confirms how much influence a group of people who've only met in cyberspace can rally for something, prove how much they want it and can influence Hollywood. That we are living in a global culture and that while Hollywood might influence us, we can influence it back.
And the trailer does leave one with questions wanting to be answered. Why are there now missiles on board? Was it Reavers or regular bad guys chasing them in that smoke belching hovercraft? Why did River drop kick Simon? Was it Mal or Simon who caught the chains before falling into the big turbine spinny thing? What's with the whole "You can't stop the signal" bit? Why wasn't Kaylee more predominant? The last one is a bit more predominant in my mind.
The trailer itself doesn't exactly fit into the parameters the HITCHIKER'S internet trailer lays out. We had the intro of many main characters who will very shortly have something so utterly fantastic happen to them, that someone just had to make a movie about it. We had lots of things blowing up, the heartless evil villains, hideous creatures, physical violence and the final montage set to rock music simply designed to blow away whatever synapses we have left in our brains and the reveal of the main title. But there was no optional "In a world" beginning, the "deep voice that sounds like a 7 ft tall man who has been smoking cigarettes since childhood" come

We. Are. Mighty!
Omigod, words can't express it. I am going to watch it over and over again. Forget a nap, forget correcting essays, I am going to watch this a bunch more times!
Squee is not even big enough to encompass this. *gasp* Wow.
I am going to have to do all I can not to scream out in the theatre this weekend (ihopeihopeihopeihope!) when I see it.
As for the tagline, what you wanna bet the Alliance is sending a signal to River's brain? Or that the crew is sending one out to go up against the Alliance?

My initial comments as a nit-picking über-fan:
Where is Kaylee?
Where is Book?
Sound in space?
Other than that.... WOW!! I want tomorrow to be Sept. 30!!!

My guess and this is only a guess is that it is a more universally understood translation of the browncoat motto: You can't take the sky from me!
