Trivia:
The cast had a running gag where they would yell Summer Glau's name whenever any of them flubbed a line or forgot to do something. It originated on "Firefly" (2002) when she forgot her line at the end of a very long and difficult scene. (Nathan Fillion, Morena Baccarin and 'Sean Maher' can be seen doing this on the DVD blooper reel.)

Goofs:
Audio/visual unsynchronized: When River is watching the Fruity Oaty Bar commercial in the bar, the commercial's audio track doesn't quite sync with the part of the commercial on the screen (the full commercial is available as an easter egg on the DVD).

***NO SPOILERS*** I saw the movie at a sneak preview in Houston, TX on 6/23/05. I was just happy that we were getting more of these characters and this setting.
Visually, it was stunning. The extra budget for effects was well spent. The characters and their relationships were recognizable, but there had been changes from the show. I think this was necessary within the movie, and part of an evolution from the TV show to the big screen (the movie takes place 6 months after the last episode, "Objects in Space"). Things have changed.
There is a higher action and violence level in this (duh, it's a movie, not on TV), and we get some major revelations about the world (which some who saw it with me already don't like). There are some MAJOR events that affect the characters, and I wasn't totally happy with them - shocked is the word. But this is Joss's world, and his characters, and he tells the stories he wants to tell. He doesn't get bound up in hurting our feelings; he just tells it like it is. I believe he did say that this was the hardest thing he'd ever had to write.
At least one person at our screening was a "Firefly virgin," and he said that he liked it. I hope people who have no exposure to the show will be able to see this and enjoy it. Our big damn heroes come across well, and I hope this will get them some well-deserved exposure. This is a no-holds barred, big-time action/adventure sci-fi story, bold and raw, and set in a world unlike anything portrayed in SF before (well, except for "Firefly"). And I hope it does really, really well, and we get to see the sequels.
