DVD Reviews of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
DVD Review: pure camp!
Summary: 5 Stars
I read the books first, then caught this series on TV way back when, and was delighted to find it in DVD. All of those who quibble about special effects, Zaphod's second head, bad audio... get a life! This is pure camp, the worse the special effects the better. Think of it as the video equivalent of King Arthur's "two halves of coconuts"... and if you don't know what I'm talking about, you don't deserve to enjoy these DVDs anyway. The 2005 movie was an abomination. This is meant to be cheap, pointless fun. It succeeds wonderfully!DVD Review: Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy - BBC TV SHOW
Summary: 5 Stars
The graphics were definately low budget, but that's what makes it extremely funny!!!!! If you have ever read the book, this video brings it alive.
DVD Review: Genius!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you think British comedy is funny, then this is perhaps the pinnacle. Douglas Adams is able to transform you from a simple desk chair human to a pangalactic traveler. Ever wonder why we are here? You still will after seeing this mind blowing comedy about life, the universe, and everything. (PS: don't see the remake b/c it rhymes with things that monkeys fling.)DVD Review: Great purchase
Summary: 4 Stars
As a fan of the Hitchhiker's, I think this is a must-have for everyone who liked the book. Much closer to the story than the 2005 version, and the extra material is almost pricelessDVD Review: My son digs this!
Summary: 5 Stars
My ten year old son loves the books, bbc radio series, the film and now this series to complete the obsession. He watched it once all the way through and now it's on the shelf, but I'm sure he'll bust it out again. Definitely worth the cost for my little sci fi lover!
Description of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
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.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
