Just back from seeing the new HitchHikers Guide To The Galaxy at the local cinema 🙂
The beginning had me a bit worried, when a chorus (of dolphins!) bursts into song – but it got better!
The movie stays close to the spirit of the book – and the actors are well cast, particularly Zaphod, and Slartibartfast.

The Vogons were perfect, taking their paperwork fetish to an absolute high and with amazingly big destructor ships (the destruction of Earth was nice from a scientific point of view (reminiscent of 2010) but did not have the “big bang” that I expected).

The Heart Of Gold ship was also beautifully designed, as was the flight through Magrathea.

Overall, well done & very enjoyable – and watch out for the “guest spots” of the “real” Arthur Dent and Marvin 😉
