Product Details of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Description

Douglas Adams's long-awaited film version of THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY, based on his five-book series, is a funny, wacky, highly creative ride through a bizarre universe. Martin Freeman (Tim from THE OFFICE) stars as Arthur Dent, a British everyman suddenly thrust into intergalactic intrigue when the earth is destroyed by the Vogons to make room for an interspatial highway. Arthur travels the skyways with good friend Ford Prefect (Mos Def), an alien writer for an electronic encyclopedia called THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY. Things get downright dangerous--and absolutely hysterical--when Arthur and Ford thumb a ride with the president of the universe, two-headed Zaphod Beeblebrox (a wild and crazy Sam Rockwell); earthling Tricia McMillan (Zooey Deschanel), whom Arthur once had a thing for back in England; and a perpetually depressed robot named Marvin (voiced by Alan Rickman, played by Warwick Davis). With much of the galaxy after them, the motley crew makes its way toward a super-computer that just might be able to provide them with the ultimate question; they already know the answer. Based on a second-draft script written by Adams himself, who died shortly thereafter, H2G2 is a winning film that rightfully earns its place in the storied HITCHHIKER'S lore. And for an extra little bonus, make sure to sit through all of the credits.

Alright, its my screwy movie of the week and I keep watching it. I'm now blurting out lines from time to time and things will only get worse if I keep going. MAGRATHEA! See, there I go again. Where's my towel?

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

I went into this movie expecting to be disappointed, and man was I pleasantly surprised. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was a strong four, bordering on five stars for me. Like others, I had read the book (and loved it) a long time ago. From the moment when I saw the image of the dolphins performing, "Goodbye, and thanks for the fish," this movie had me. From what I can remember,the movie stays...

Worst movie I saw in 2005. Not funny, not interesting.....not cool. Reading the book may have helped (I sure hope so) or maybe I would have liked it even less. I am fairly forgiving for Sci-fi films and this film abused my good favor. Not even worth renting, wait for AMC to show it around 2030 or so.

This has got to be one of the most pointless, dumb, boring movies ever. THere was no point to it. The best part was seeing a robot that sounded like professor Snape.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

I went into thi movie with high hopes. Having practically memorized the book, having enjoyed the radio series, and been watching the TV mini-series over and over again for the past ten years or so, yeah, I gues you can say I am a big fan of the HITCH-HIKERS universe, and of Douglas Adams (I always know where my towel is!). THe movie, while entertaining and funny, somehow fails to live up to...

If you haven't read the books,you've missed a treat,also the original radio series.This film was quite a good interpretation, but probably incomprehensible to anyone new to Douglas Adams

I've been a Douglas Adams fan for a long time now, and I had a lot of trepidations before seeing this movie, having been scalded by previous theatrical abortions. This movie however was pretty good. Captured the quirky dry british humor of the novels, but adapted it into a movie that can be enjoyed by fans of sci-fi and satire. As a fan however, I was dissapointed in the look of Marvin, and how...

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

I think the current film is not quite as good as the 1981 original series directed by Alan Bell. In this film it doesn't quite capture the humour of the author of the novel by Douglas Adams. I seem to recall that the series was funnier. I find that the movie makers were more concerned with the series of events that exists in the book rather than the meaning behind it which is viewing comedy of...

Not awful, but pretty flaccid and uninspired.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

A frantic and occasional funny adaptation of Douglas Adams' novel. However, it may have those unfamiliar with the source material scratching their heads.
