Spoiler: When I saw the movie, I'd never seen or heard of Firefly, I saw it off the fact I loved BTVS and it was a Joss Whedon movie. As it got the end, I figured that the main bulk of the crew would probably survive and a few die... so when River jumped into the Reavers to get the doctors bag and shut the doors, I figured that she would die to let them live, and then the assassin would somehow get out and bring his forces to drive back the Reavers and let them go since River was dead and he had achieved his mission and he didnt care about anything else.... so I definitely bought that River was gonna get torn up by the Reavers - it seemed to fit that her fears would finally - in a literal sense - consume her, and it would be a kind of tragic happy ending I was expecting from the movie.
So when it flashed to the fight and she was just beating the shit out of the Reavers I was just thinking "wow... awesome"... and then when the doors finally open and she's just standing there surrounded by a pile of corpses, it was just like... "aw, you Reaver motherfuckers just got MERKED"... pretty cool!
