The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Reviews
Corrections
Just want to set the record straight. This is not an adaptation of the book. The television series is based on the radio series; the book was created last and based on the other two. All three are great fun, and this is a must-have for Douglas Adams fans.
I give it 42 stars!
Correction of the below Correction
The Radio series was in '78. The first of the books followed in '79.
The TV series premiered in '81 in the UK, and in early '82 in the US.
Not that it matters all that much. They are all a bit different from each other, and each has a charm all its own.
The main difference between the TV and radio versions is that the Radio version is a tad more psychedelic, owing to the rapid fire sound effects and asides. The TV series is a bit less narrative than the radio plays. The cheap "Dr. Who" effects in the TV series detract a bit... Marvin looks pretty cheesy and Zaphod's extra head is a useless lump of plastic. Be that as it may, it is still a fine and enjoyable production.
The new movie is yet different still, and is very enjoyable, but on a different level. If you just saw the movie in the theatres (this was written in May 2005), you should definitely see the TV series and read the books.
