The first sneak previews in the US were May 6th.
Here is a group of comments from the "Browncoats" that will be spoiler-free:

I have seen the trailer (attached to the Hitchiker's movie); I have watched all the episodes; I'm going to be standing in line for this movie as soon as it's released (Sept 30th).

I saw the trailer. I thought it just looked like a plot from one of the tv episodes. I'll still see it just to see if I'm wrong.

I got to see the almost finished movie last night in one of 35 third round preview showings
(www.cantstopthesignal.com)


Here is my quick review:

In a summer of remakes, reruns and piss-poor sequels - this movie has an original storyline, subtle humor (yay Kaylie and her battery powered [censored]), and resolution of a story that not only takes the uninitiated from start to finish in the movie, but helps tie up the loose ends from the tv series (so even if you've never seen the tv show, you'll be able to follow pretty well).

However, watching the DVDs, in order, is well worth the 14 hours (no commercials, you can pause for breaks when YOU want, no waiting a whole week for the next episode, etc).

Minor quibbles (i.e. "they didn't really act like they were married; they didn't make that very clear for the non-tv show audience" from konashark, "shouldn't Mal have more scars on his bodilicous body" from me) aside, keep slight eye on the dinosaurs on the bridge (cute toys) and enjoy the ride.

And we'll be going to see it again in September.

WARNING: there are definite movie spoilers, but they're nicely isolated in the section near the end that starts with "so how's the movie?" in big capital letters. If you stop reading there, you won't see any spoilers.
