Product Description

Here's the absolutely hysterical, wonderfully wild, cosmic adventure comedy THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY. Based on Douglas Adams' worldwide best-selling novel, and starring an outrageous intergalactic cast, this is one ride you don't want to miss.

And so the misadventures begin as he and fellow travelers, including the cool but dim-witted President of the Galaxy, the Earth girl Trillian, and Marvin the paranoid android, search for answers to the mystery of Life, the Universe, and Everything.

Hitching a ride.

For those unfamiliar with the story, everyman Arthur Dent (Martin Freeman) wakes up one morning to discover that his house is set to be demolished to make room for a bypass. Little does he know the entire planet Earth is also set to be destroyed for an interplanetary bypass by the Vogons, a hideous and bureaucratic race of aliens realized in the film by Jim Henson's Creature Shop. Whisked off the planet by his best friend, alien-in-disguise Ford Prefect (Mos Def), Dent embarks on a goofy jaunt across the galaxy accompanied by his trusty Hitchhiker's Guide, which looks like a really fancy PDA.

The guide itself provides some of the funniest bits of the movie, little animated shorts that explain the ludicrous life forms and extraterrestrial phenomena our heroes encounter. Along the way Arthur meets the two-headed party animal/president of the galaxy Zaphod Beeblebrox (Sam Rockwell) and develops an unrequited crush on fellow earthling Trillian (Zooey Deschanel). The creatures and sets are inspired and answer to the sci-fi fan's primal need to see lots and lots of cool stuff. In particular, there's John Malkovich's creepy, CGI-enhanced Humma Kavula. He's a guru leading a religion that worships the gigantic nose that allegedly sneezed the universe into existence (naturally all their prayers end not with "Amen" but with "Bless you.") The aliens the team encounters are inspired creations, eminently worthy of action figure-ification, and the sets belie an attention to detail worthy of freeze-framing. Fans of the other Hitchhiker manifestations, namely the British TV series, will be amused by a number of in-jokes sprinkled throughout the movie.

Concept art: The Heart of Gold pod on the planet Vogsphere

Where the story stumbles is in the telling--as books, the Hitchhiker's Guide was foremost about goofy and brilliant ideas that raised questions about our place in the universe while getting a laugh. The cast seems at times bewildered, at least when Sam Rockwell isn't picking pieces of scenery out of his teeth, perhaps a natural reaction to an adaptation of a book with no traditional plot. The movie has enough trouble figuring out how to get the characters from one fantastical location to the next that Adams's funniest concepts often feel left in the dust. While the reverence the filmmakers felt toward Adams's legacy is apparent, one wonders what we could have expected had the creator of this science fiction universe lived to see it with his own eyes. -- Ryan Boudinot

Amusing in places, but thin.......2007-08-15

I never read any of Douglas Adams' books, so I approached this movie with an open mind. My wife and I both found it mildly amusing, but no more than that. The plot, such as it is, is episodic and skimpy. There are some funny bits, and the visuals are nice, but there's not much character development or real substance. There are better sci-fi comedies, and worse.

My guess is that you should read the book........2007-07-14

This was the book all the geeks and nerds middle school read back in the mid 80's. I can remember people cracking jokes out of this book, and talking about "42". Its kind of like Monty python to many of the band and drama people of high school would blab about. Well, I never read the book, tried, but lost interest within the first couple sections. So I though I'd finally check out the movie. Lately movies have been sticking closer to a books original story line. And guess what, its still as dumb as it was when I was younger. Just don't care for the humor. I can see how true fans of the book are bashing this film, it so short and jumpy, i can imagine how much it must have cut out of the orininal tale. And it ended so abruptly, what the heck about the second head, and the gun...oh wait, who cares is the ultimate question. 42 is the answer....some 42 year old virgin sitting in his parents basement with their star wars collection (or star trek) quoting monty python and talking about band camp. I would have to say get the book, at least you are reading and building an imagination, this movie is just not good.

HEY! are all those other movies boring you? watch this one instead!.......2007-06-15

it goes without saying: the more original the novel, the higher expectations are for the movie adaptation. douglas adams shares the rarest of company, with vonnegut being the only contemporary peer and source of inspiration that im aware of (if you know others, please recommend them!) thankfully, hitchhikers delivers on screen, accurately capturing the feel of the book, even with the standard deviation and dilution of plot and character. narrated excerpts from the guide, necessary for an authentic hikers experience, are brilliant in content and execution. if i really wanted to find fault, id say that zaphods part was a bit overacted and marvins a tad underacted. but the film is so much fun that its easy to overlook any minor shortcomings. how often do you find a movie with above average intelligence that doesnt take itself too seriously and makes you laugh for days after its over? also contributing greatly to my judgment of overall satisfaction and life enhancement is the fact that many lines are conveniently quotable when a) goofing off with a few friends, b) taking a shower (with or without a few friends) or c) begrudgingly dealing with the everyday frustrations and activities of an all too banal, conformist society, which elevates vacuous filth and garbage above anything of actual merit or significance.

if youre not familiar with the hitchhikers guide, id describe the movie as somewhat of a marriage between "i love huckabees" (more of the intellectual approach) and the tv series "scrubs" (more on the goofy side, as if you didnt know) with a sci-fi setting. take note: the emphasis is on the fiction, with the science being loosely (albeit cleverly) applied, so dont take it too seriously! if you start analyzing everything as if its star trek, youll completely miss the point, only part of which is to poke fun at the constipated nature of the sci-fi majority. and if you like the movie, by all means read the book. its 2764.31910283387400183401448308238532722014869088173775898283 times smarter, funnier and betterer...

OUTSTANDING REMAKE.......2007-06-13

The original BBC Hitchhikers guide was wonderful fun with a low budget. This film gives it the updated graphics and more to make it even better. A funny adventure from beginning to end. Martin Freeman plays Arthur Dent perfectly. The entire cast performs so well and have great chemistry. Mos Def as Ford was brilliant and what more can be said for the President of the Galaxy. The humor and the graphics make this a perfect movie to see for all sci fi lovers.

Fun Adventurous Movie.......2007-06-12

First off, I am not going to give a synopsis of the movie - then you wouldn't need to watch it. I will say that based on the reviews I have read, if you liked the book or Mini-Series, maybe you should shy away from this movie. I myself have not read the book so I am like most people. My entire family loved this movie and my kids watch it over and over again. This is good news given that my kids are usually bored 5 minutes into any task they take on. The characters in this movie work well together and the movie makes you feel good from start to finish.
As a lover of all things Sci-Fi I found this movie to fit the bill perfectly. It would be a shame if you didn't watch this movie simply because the original book fans were disappointed. Try it out, and I would bet you like it (better the second time around).

don't hitch to this one.......2007-08-08

horrible movie, horrible acting. worst movie i have seen in years. however, the video quality of this blu-ray disc is one of the best yet. still not worth your time or money.

Five Star Movie - Three Star Blu-Ray Disc.......2007-08-03

Having owned the first release of this movie on DVD, when I heard it was coming out on Blu-Ray I had to pick it up; after all, this was the movie that convinced me to pick up Douglas Adams' spectacular written novels (from Hitchhiker's to Dirk Gently) and give them a read. While watching the movie in 1080i was a pleasure, I was rather disappointed to find that many of the special features found on the original disc - including the absolutely brilliant interface with the interactive improbability drive that occasionally took you to an Easter Egg - were stripped out of the Blu-Ray disc. I could have even dealt with the loss of the interface in exchange for the movie showcase menu that allows you to access features, select scenes, and access the setup while the movie is playing, if only they had provided all the content on the original DVD. I've experienced this now on a couple of Blu-Ray discs and I find it quite upsetting (officially entering rant territory), that despite the capacity for Blu-Ray discs to hold 80% more data than a DVD, and 40% more data than a HD disc, that companies are skimping on features and selling the discs at an inflated price. While Blu-Ray may be the superior format, it's not going to gain in market standing by the release of inferior products.

Great fun.......2007-07-23

Before I saw this, I had heard alot of bad things about it. I have read the book many, many times, and was a little worried about watching it. I finally got to see it right before it left the theatre and I have seen it about a billion times after that. I don't know what everybody was expecting. It is insane to think that a movie can be just like the book. The book is so full of subtle humor, there is no way that they could translate that into a movie format. I think that the movie caught the spirit of the book extremely well. It is the fun ridiculous universe that Douglas Adams introduced me to. If you are looking for something fun to watch, especially if you like british humor, you will love this movie. And if you are a lover of the book, don't shut it out just because it didn't live up to "what you would have done". Accept it as the classic commedy that it is. It was definately on my list of things to buy for my new blu-ray.

Seek out the TV series or the Radio Play.......2007-07-12

This was truly, truly awful. It's not just that it wasn't "like" the original, it gutted the original, sucking out all of the bits that were the heart and soul of the humor. Poor Douglas Adams, to think that so many more people will think this was what all the fuss was about.

Please seek out the original (which was the radio play, btw) or the remake (the TV series) where Douglas Adams was in control of the material.

Don't Panic! ... But be prepared to laugh.......2007-04-16

I absolutely loved this movie. The opening scene with the narator setting up the story and the dolphins is worth the price of the film alone.
I had to do research on the film to see if any of the Monty Python troupe was involved because it is the most "MontyPythonesque" movie I have ever seen, other than actual Monty Python films. Maybe the "Brits" just have the special touch with dark, sarcastic, human bashing humor.
Sam Rockwell made the movie and Alan Rickman did a great job.
By far, the funniest movie I have seen in quite a while.

I have since read the book and did not enjoy it, so perhaps that is why I enjoyed the movie where fans of Adams find the movie appalling. Just a thought.

The production values aren't the greatest here, but this adaptation does capture some of the ebullient, hilarious anarchy of Douglas Adams's book. Arthur Dent discovers that his friend, Ford Prefect, isn't human at all but an alien on assignment, writing for the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Many of Adams's delicious asides are dropped off here, like the woman who figures out the meaning of life right at the moment that she gets blown up with the rest of the Earth, but it retains what it can. Sure, the book was better, and the realization of Zaphod Beeblebox and Trillian are, well, just different, but it's a great introduction to the series for the uninitiated. --Keith Simanton

Description

With the galaxy's best-selling tour guide and a good towel, earthling Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect (actually from planet Betelgeuse) are transported, among other places, to the Restaurant at the End of the Universe and back to the beginning of time.

Low Budget, But Still Charming.......2007-08-02

The radio broadcasts (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: The Primary Phase (BBC Radio Collection), The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Secondary Phase (BBC Radio Collection), & The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: The Tertiary Phase) and the books (The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) came first, and they remain a better place to start if you're new to the Hitchhiker's Guide universe.

There's also the most recent addition to the Hitchhiker's universe, the big budget movie (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Widescreen Edition)). As with each new version of the HHGttG stories, it's something different than what came before and add its own twist to the story.

But, if you're already a hardcore Douglas Adams fan and/or can't get enough of cheesy BBC sci-fi fare like Dr. Who, the older television mini-series collected here is also well worth watching. Although the costumes and effects are low budget, most of the characterizations are good. (With the exception of Trillian, I prefer the actors portraying the major characters in this version.) The bits where excerpts from the Guide are presented are also excellent. All the episodes are collected on disc 1; disc 2 is really a bonus disc. Disc 1 also has copious and often-humorous production notes presented as a subtitle option.

I'll admit that nostalgia may be contributing to my five-star rating, but I do think that any Douglas Adams fan will want to see this series at least once.

Worth saving the Earth for..........2007-06-18

If you must purchase a DVD copy of the Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy this year ...make it this one! It totally blows away the Disney version that was excreted out a few years back. The story line follows the original book pretty closely, and the acting is so much better that one wonders why the participants in the newer release are allowed to continue living.
Sure it has its small problems here and there,things like lighting and costumes that could use less paint...but still,noticing these things in the first place is a sign that youre taking life too seriously and need to lighten up. This is just a riot that will have you laughing out loud.
The humor and interaction of the actors with the plot,(That acting thing again) will have you thinking about the movie later,causing you to laugh at inappropriate times...like meeting a blind date...or recieving sentencing from a Judge.
If youre a fan of Douglas Adams masterpiece of humor and irony,and havent seen this yet...hurry the hell up and get a copy before the Vogons show up.

Forget the film, this is the definitive version!.......2007-06-12

I read the book, saw the film first and then took a gander at this 1981 lost gem. The comedy delivery in the TV series is crisper; never mind the fact that the effects were substandard. The film felt a bit rushed, while this 6-episode series perfectly captures the essence of the book. In fact, if you were to break this down Dr. Jack-style you would end up purchasing this DVD for two main reasons:

1. Douglas Adams himself took an active role in the production of this series;

2. Adams wrote the part of Arthur Dent specifically with Simon Jones in mind.

So much better than the remake.......2007-01-07

Sure the special effects stink and it is British Sci-fi (the effects REALLY stink), but Douglas Adams was involved in the whole thing, and it shows. Some of the best parts of the books were left out of the remake. And one place the effects shine is the Guide itself. It looks like computer grapics, but it's not.

Definately quirky British sci-fi humor, but easily some of the best to come out of the BBC.

Don't panic! After twenty years stuck in development (a mere blink compared to how long it takes to find the answer to life, the universe, and everything), The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has finally been turned into a movie. Following the radio play, TV series, commemorative towel, and books, this latest installment in the sci-fi-comedy franchise is based on the screenplay and detailed notes by Douglas Adams. For those unfamiliar with the story, everyman Arthur Dent (Martin Freeman) wakes up one morning to discover that his house is set to be demolished to make room for a bypass. Little does he know the entire planet Earth is also set to be destroyed for an interplanetary bypass by the Vogons, a hideous and bureaucratic race of aliens realized in the film by Jim Henson's Creature Shop. Whisked off the planet by his best friend, alien-in-disguise Ford Prefect (Mos Def), Dent embarks on a goofy jaunt across the galaxy accompanied by his trusty Hitchhiker's Guide, which looks like a really fancy PDA. The guide itself provides some of the funniest bits of the movie, little animated shorts that explain the ludicrous life forms and extraterrestrial phenomena our heroes encounter. Along the way Arthur meets the two-headed party animal/president of the galaxy Zaphod Beeblebrox (Sam Rockwell) and develops an unrequited crush on fellow earthling Trillian (Zooey Deschanel). The creatures and sets are inspired and answer to the sci-fi fan's primal need to see lots and lots of cool stuff.

Mediocre Adaptation.......2007-04-17

I got these episodes of the BBC production from a friend when it came out. I found it very disappointing. Having loved the books, I found it to be rather flat. Very true to the books as some would say, but no life of its own. The actors all look like what I expected, probably too much so - especially Trillian. The portrayal of Ford Prefect was particularly bad as the actor tried to change how he said things, but only made it worse.

That said, Arthur Dent was excellent, Simon Jones was great, as always, as the "the book", although the graphics during his voice-overs were pretty blah. Overall, its OK, but falls way below most of the rest of the Hitchhiker's adaptations - IMHO.

nostalgic.......2007-04-13

I watched the whole series on TV and now I can watch it all again. It is just like going back in time saying to myself "don't panic" this DVD is a wonderful nostalgic journey. I am very happy with my purchase and the DVD is crisp in picture and sound and I love the extras section as well.

As good as it gets.......2007-02-11

These episodes are as close to the book as is possible, unlike the movie made in 2005. Being a latecomer to the Hitchhiker world, I wasn't sure what to expect from these 1981 renditions, but I was totally blown away by the "pureness" of the script and the graphics that they were able to make for the time. It's very well acted too, and the guy who played Arthur in the radio series also plays him on screen in these episodes. Douglas Adams also makes an on-screen appearance in a particular sequence, but I won't spoil the surprise.

They also include some documentaries done about 10 years later, which include interviews with the actors and Douglas Adams and a look at how they made the graphics.

The episodes cover most of the first novel, spend some time at the restaurant at the end of the universe and end at prehistoric earth.

The Original BBC version.......2007-02-03

I searched a while to find this original version , it is much more complete than the new movie , and while a low budget style production , the acting and writing are the real deal.
One for the collection if you go for this sort of thing !

This recording dates back to 1981, so don't expect outstanding modern special effects. Despite of the slightly old style of the filming the story is very amusing and is loyal to the original book from Douglas Adams. This DVD is worth buying both for its extremely funny and famous story as well as historic aspect showing the studio work of that era. Organization of this disc is good and the quality of filming and actor work is excellent. Guaranteed BBC quality.
