5 Trek conventations and you have to host a LAN party. Then we might think about giving it back.

I enjoyed it. It had some plot changes from the books, but a lot of the dialogue and narrative was also directly pulled from them, too. Things like the Infinite Improbability Drive were well done, it wasn't turned into an action movie, and all in all was a pretty good translation into movie format.
I'm pretty sure we can count on a sequel, though. There's a definite mention of The Restaurant at the End of the Universe at the end of the movie.
Also, Alan Rickman is a great Marvin, and Trillian is really cute. Arttemis fucked around with this message on 04-29-2005 at 09:59 PM.

Zooey Deschanel is ADORABLE! 
And Tril... *Grrrrowl*
Both Marvin and 'heart of gold' could have done much better in the visual dept.
I really, really enjoy it, I read the first book, but that was freshmen year, and plus, I belong to the "view book-movies as a different animal from the book itself" crowd, so Arthur ending up with Trill wasn't a big deal with me.
I thought Zaphod stole the show on the level of Jack Sparrow stealing "Pirates", god damn he made me laugh.

I thought it was very good, my only beef was with the costume for Marvin.
Speaking of Marvin, did anyone else notice the Marvin costume from that old low budget version of the book made an appearance in here?

That amused me GREATLY! I think that was the funniest part of the entire movie! Although I thought yarn was funny, too. Any time the Improbability Drive was put to use I was dying.

1. Very true. The graphics for explaining the babelfish, with the cow and the farmer, were great.
2. The new costume contrasted with his grumpiness, and it was, well, adorable.
3. Yes! In the queue on "Vogsphere"...heh.
Oh, and what the heck was up with them completely forgetting about going back to Zaphod's competitor for Worst Dressed Sentient Being with the gun and getting his head back?
Also, the love plot felt kind of forced and cliched, but it was worth it for the line "What's all this about 'is she the one'? Take his brain!", which was amazing. Overall I dug it though. Gunslinger Moogle fucked around with this message on 05-01-2005 at 01:05 AM.

Knowing beforehand that a true-to-the-book movie was utterly impossible, I was able to enjoy the movie for what it was instead of constantly nitpicking at what it could have been.

They didn't. As they're getting back on the hypercart thing, Zaphod says, "I think I need to go see Humma... about... something" or something to that effect.
