HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY (2005)

Positive Experience/Entertaining?? Yes--definitely! It may not make everyone laugh throughout the movie, but there's something in there somewhere that will do it for you.
Technically any good? FX were superb. I'm familiar with the radio show and the TV series and felt that the script was a fairly spot-on adapation of them both. Casting was almost 100% solid with Zooey Deschanel leaving me wanting a couple more takes from her. The only real flaws from a technical standpoint would have to be the fact that there's no passage of time. It all feels like it's happened in precisely real time (the same 2 hours you spend watching the movie).
How did it leave me feeling? Really, quite immensely satsified. I would have preferred a darker ending (like the TV series) but overall, I think everything was quite well done.
Final Rating? SIYL (Remember--the story is supposed to be wacky and random and goofy and frenetic!!)

I would reeeally like a Marvin action figure!!
