IT WAS AN OUTSTANDING FILM This science fiction is a amazing film with actors like John Malkovich, Bill Nighy, Zooey Deschanel, Sam Rockwell and Martin Freeman who also plays Sherlock's sidekick Dr. John Watson in the Sherlock series. It was directed by Garth Jennings in 2005. It was 1 hour and 44 minutes long but it was worth watching all the weird and wonderful characters in this astonishing movie. It's out of this world with funny parts. Literally out of this world. It is a hard to understand the film but if you watch it twice or three times you should get what it is about. We start off on earth with a man called Arthur Dent and his friend Ford Prefect who says he is from Watford, but is actually from the 5th planet in the facility of Beetle Juice, 5 light years away from the earth. Well what is left of the earth, which is nothing because it was blown up by the Vogon constructer fleet to make way for a hyper-spacial bypass. The problem with that is the creatures which have virtually been running the earth for the last 9,999,999 years, 364 days, 23 hours and 55 minutes. They have been doing that to find out a particular answer to the question of life, the universe and everything. They've got the answer but they don't no what it means so that was why earth was made. To calculate the ultimate question. I wont say any more but if you want to find out the question and in that case the answer to life, the universe and everything, if they survive the earth getting blown up and if they do what will they do next and what is this Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy book anyway? If you want to find out I advise you watch it and see for your self.
