	The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005)
		"Guide" isn't a laugh-out-loud experience as much as it is a witty film, packed with references and satire.
		Yet, this is the first time the "Guide" has been brought to the narrow confines of the silver screen, which gives it money to expand Adams's limitless universe; but the adventures taken must be chosen carefully, due to its limited running time and newcomer patience.
		The performances all around are delightful, and they save the film when it threatens to cave in under all the weight of story and pretension.

	The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy movie review, In Film Australia
		The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy movie review, In Film Australia
		The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy is an always digestible and meekly enjoyable popcorn movie that survives entirely off the strength of its source material.
		The establishing minutes of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy utilize its smartest juxtaposition, a shrewd literal simile: Arthur Dent's (Martin Freeman) cosy little house is scheduled to be demolished in order to make way for a new freeway bypass, moments before the Earth itself is demolished for a similar, albeit more intergalactic purpose.

		If the film is sufficiently noir, violent and uses cool camera tricks, they sometimes like it, but otherwise, they usually declare it to be a sign that the end is near and explain how the movie should have been done.
		Hitchhiker was the Number 1 film in the UK last weekend (and I think the US too?).
		It’s not even a good film if viewed as an original work: the characters are unsympathetic, the cast exhibit no chemistry, the direction is pedestrian, the pace plodding, the special effects overpowering (lots and lots of special effects, none of them funny mind you) and above all the script is amazingly, mindbogglingly awful.

	The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy: A Review
		This film was called, The HitchHikers Guide to the Galaxy.
		All in all, I felt this to be a very successful film, classic, funny, witty, a proud edition to the Hitchhikers Saga in its own right, Douglas Adams would have been proud, and there are obvious openings for a sequel.
		Then one day, roughly 2000 after one guy was nailed to some wood for saying how people should just be nice to each other in order to be happy, a film was made, and this film brought a smile to many faces.

	The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy
		Visually the film is spot on, making use of the clarity and potential of modern CGI effects without losing that very humerous, tackyness that has always characterised Hitchhikers.
		Having said all that, though, Douglas Adams himself said that the main problem with The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy was that it lacked a love-story to drive the plot along.
		Rant over, REAL problem with the film was that the book contained too many ideas for the running time and as a result the HHGTTG itself kind of got more sidelined than I wold have expected.

		In hindsight, the first thing we should have done was take the guided open-topped double-decker bus tour around the zoo.
		For years and years, I would use the TV Guide magazine to determine what was on the box that I wanted to see.

		Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy is probably what Douglas Adams will be most remembered for but he was also much interested and involved in the developing the internet for the future, and had more creative idea's in his short life than most people ever have.
		Rumours of developing a movie out of Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy were kicking round for years, and because a budget for this movie would have to be huge for it to look right, rather than the cheapo effort by the BBC it was pretty much thought that it would never actually get made.
		The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy will be released in the U.K. on R2 DVD on the 5th September 2005.

		The film of the book (or the radio or TV series) is going to be released here in the U.S. on the 29th April.
		I should be thinking about the film with an open mind, but I know I'm going to be comparing it with the TV series, that I saw when it first came out on the BBC.
		It'll also be interesting to see what 25 years of advances in CGI can do for film.
