Saw it, liked it. A lot of the added stuff didn't work (Unlike others, I didn't hate the Humma Kuvula subplot; I just hate that it wasn't resolved. Zaphod needs his 2nd head back, dammit. Also, it would be interesting to see how the romance and Earth Mk II are handled in sequels.), but the movie still achieved its primary goal: It felt like HGTTG. The segments that work really make up for the ones that don't. I could never enjoy the BBC series much because the effects were so bad they were distracting, but the book transitions in this were a joy to watch (I loved the cel-shaded Guide segments, and it was a smart decision to keep the Vogons as puppets- they're easily among the best I've ever seen). The actors also did a much better job with their characters than I expected. So yeah, this is by no means either a classic or the dream adaptation we hoped for, but it's still great. Gets 4 stars and a recommendation from me.
