Yeah, Weejoh has a point. Let the first few chapters be slow and laid-back, rather than intense and action-packed.

What you coud do is kick the story off with a small action piece to get the reader's attention and hook him in, as well as to give him an idea of what's to come, and then tone it down a bit for a while to allow you to build up characters and such. You could also turn it into a flashback if you wanted to.

One example of this is Transformers: Dark of the Moon. The movie kicks off with a chase scene on Cybertron between the Autobot's Ark and numerous pursuing Decepticon aircraft. The action scene, even if a little short, was enough to drag the viewer in with it's impressive visuals and the action. I don't watch too many movies, either; I'm sure some hardcore movie-watcher here could give you a better example of this.
