Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (starring Mos Def and Warwick Davis) is a goofy, fun movie detailing the mishaps of Fred (Mos Def), and Marvin (Warwick Davis) as they travel the galaxy in search of the one Question. This movie is definitly fit for all ages, and though a little too goofy for my taste at times, overall, the movie was a winner. The actors are mildly shallow, as with most movies fit for children, but they fit the theme and so it is not too large a detriment to the story.

The Special effects of this movie were superb, at times breathtaking scenery of our own earth, at other times highly complex world of the unknown. One particular scene which stuck in my memory is that of the planetary building grounds, where you could see parts of many different planets being assembled in a variety of shapes. The editing is lacking in some spots, some scenes are obviously unnecessary, such as the scene of trillian after she steps out of the shower after Marvin has left. The acting of the movie was altogether non-remarkable, though the special effects and the general theme of the movie make up for this as to not affect the movie too greatly. I would recommend this movie to anyone who needs a few moments of stress relief and a generally light-hearted time.
