Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Review
The wife and I just returned from my big birthday event. We went to see The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. I won’t go into great detail, and spoil it all, but I do want a couple things to be clear. First, the movie was great. I had come to expect something less than that which was delivered, and I was greatly surprised. Secondly, I left the theater feeling as if the most important bits of the book, TV show and audio show were there, as well.
The Zaphod in the movie is exactly how Zaphod should be played. The same goes for Arthur. Trillian was different than I expected, but surprisingly enjoyable. As for Ford, I’m becoming more of a fan of Mos Def’s acting every time I see him.
I almost cried when I saw Marvin the Paranoid Android’s cameo.
At the end, during the end credit song, “So Long and Thanks for All the Fish,” we watched the other half-dozen folks in the theater file out. We sat still. You should too.
I expected to give this movie a C+. I have to give it an A.
