Just a quick trip report from Friday's cinematographic experience. Thanks to all who came along- it was the ideal geek social event: you get to go to the same venue for the same reason, but no-one has to talk to each other.
Despite the fact that only 24 tickets had been sold at lunchtime the film was sold out by the time we got there! In all, I thought the film was highly enjoyable, but I think you have to be a fan to appreciate the particular style of the movie. A lot of content was inferred and really just glossed over, and there was some content added specially for the film (by Douglas Adams, before his untimely departure). In general the film worked, and the visual represention matched what I was expecting (although it's difficult not to think of the BBC show whilst watching the film). I did not feel that the story had been butchered (as I do with many film adaptations), and I hope that there will be more films from the later books. Hope the rest of you enjoyed it, Andy
