Hitchhiker's Guide - Earth Destroyed and Guide Introduction (HD)

This film was really not that bad

My 15th playthrough of Stellaris be like

The art direction for this is just...flawless.

I loved this adaptation.

I wish they were more books with "don't panic" printed in printed large letter on their cover

I just love that “WUMPH” noise

Don't care what anyone says! This was a darn good movie. Yes, it took some liberties and pulled some omissions. But it's the same thing as looking at James Gunn's work with Guardians of The Galaxy. The different interpretation WORKED! I honestly wish we'd have gotten at least one more of the books done like this.

I found this movie and it gave me flashbacks when it was 2020

I've loved that Eagle cover ever since that movie came out.

The music they chose was awesome. Joe Walsh on that banjo right there

I am happy, because now the rich elites who often run over people houses illegally or just say "you where told years ago" when the news was mainly hiding, it ironic in the last 5 seconds that just hit them, i be like that old guy having coffee absolute chad

What was the demolition notice they were referring to? I have not seen this movie. (I don't have it on any platform.)

never seen this movie seems shit to me

Poof? But what happened to all that matter? Surely it would have been converted into more energy than that little firework.

"We have arrived and it is now that we perform our charge..."

That song🤘

(*blink*blink*) The intro music was "The Journey of The Sorcerer" by the Eagles?!?!?!

I love this movie, people hated it for some reason. It just seemed like a fun and derpy film, and everyone that made it seems to be having fun too, so uhh?

I've always loved the way the Earth just goes POOF! 🌎 💥

This was an amiable enough film, considering it was stuck in production hell for more than two decades. Problem was it needed a true 'artisté' to direct it, a Tim Burton or Terry Gilliam..

Why does this, ahm, shriveled entity have the voice of Gillian Anderson embodying Margareth Thatcher? 🤔

In any other movie they would take a 5 minute lunch break and the hero would save Earth

Read the books or listen to the original radio series. This series is complete, utter and total shit.

One of the most disappointing films I’ve ever seen.

The way they keep pummeling you with those orchestral hits as the camera pans back 30 times. Spot on sendup of a somewhat tired cinema trope.

Murder/Disassembly Drones invasion be like:

The vogons also can't accept these humans haven't invented interstellar transfer to visit the the local planning office. It's even a local one just nearby on alpha centauri.

Also, I like how the guide looks like an old PS2 😂😂😂

Finally a movie where the earth will get blown up in the next 5 minutes and someone gives good advice for what to do. I wouldn't cover my head with a paper bag but i would definitely lie down, listen to music and relax instead of running around screaming like a headless chicken, which would be waste of 5 minutes

I watched this as a kid, long before I knew it was ever a book. I havent read the book yet, but this has always been one of my family's favorite movies, and I love it for what it is, regardless of how well it adapted its source material. On its own, its such a good movie.

This is a rare case when the movie is quite better than the book (the first one at least)

I love this film so much. I know there's naysayers who say "it deviates too much from the source material" (it really doesn't. It's actually fairly spot on for the most part, and even the new parts or parts that deviate from the book were written by Douglas Adams himself, specifically for the film!) but there's so much about it that's just perfect!

I mean, the casting, for one! Martin Freeman, Mos Def, Stephen Fry, Sam Rockwell, Zooey Deschanel, John Malkovich, Bill Nighy, Alan Rickman as Marvin, (even Warwick Davis is inside the costume!).....cameos from Bill Bailey, Helen Mirren and the League of Gentlemen....you couldn't piece together a more perfect cast if you tried!

It's utterly criminal that that cast never got to make the planned sequels! It could have been the greatest (and only) 5-film trilogy ever made!

Are these things a ships or what ?

And somewhere, everywhere, always... the Raven is watching.

I’m so glad they used the music and voice style homage to the original radio show. This movie was good. Not great but good and hits where it should. Shame they weren’t successful enough for a sequel

Ah, British comedy at its best.

Cool music composition!

I love the books the bbc's 80's version and even though my friend was an extra as a vogon in it, this version was shite.

if we got off world in enough numbers, the rest of the civilized universe is screwed. Aliens crashing in BanjoTown I mean Earth.. tough tamales.. Hordes of space barbarian apes swarming across the galaxy and parts beyond to pillage, plunder, and procreate.. ya done goofed, son.

Never understood how Douglas Adams signed off on this POS. The BBC series was far and away better that this reject.

Loved that they kept the theme tune for the film. Awesome choice.

I think the very best version of the HHGTTG is the one it was written for - the BBC Radio 4 version in half hour episodes with the help of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. Even in the late 1970s FM sound radio smashed this one out of the ballpark, from 1980 on, being one of the first radio shows to be mixed into four-channel Dolby Surround Sound. The books, films, cassette versions, cds, stageplays, games, comic books, tv version, dvds, film and towel came later.

I wonder what Douglas Adams would've thought of this film if he was still alive when it was released?

Really can't get into this film. Loved the radio shows, books, audio books, and mini-series but never did care for the movie. I am glad to see it has a loyal fanbase and introduced a younger crowd to as least some elements of the original and it is no less valid than the others since it did delve into the entire multiverse concepts and had Earth in a plural zone.
