The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005)

£0.00


Country: US/GB
Technical: col/2.35:1 109m
Director: Garth Jennings
Cast: Martin Freeman, Mos Def, Sam Rockwell, Anna Chancellor, Stephen Fry (voice)

Synopsis:

Arthur Dent is jolted from the cosy certainties of his rural existence, not only by a decision to build a bypass through the spot occupied by his house, but more pertinently by a galactic planning order to site a hyperspace route through planet Earth's little bit of space. Luckily for him his friend Ford Prefect helps him hitch a ride on the Vogon destructor fleet and there begins a series of adventures that eventually lead to a direct copy of the home planet, the brainchild of a pair of white mice.

Review:

A reasonably successful attempt to get a series into a ninety-minute movie, this science fiction comedy boasts one or two stellar cameos from the British comedy scene but basically has a far less engaging cast than the 'original' TV version. The special effects are, naturally, far more impressive, and, in the case of Marvin at least, correspondingly less funny.
