I really enjoyed this movie. I could've done without the romance because it's so much more than that.

Only judging the movie because no adaptation could do Adam’s masterpiece justice - movie itself is great! 100% worth a watch

A pretty fun adaptation and parody of science fiction. Romantic subplot was kinda dumb and not really a thing in the book

A very fun movie, which is close to the old series and even has a few eastereggs. All in all a great retelling of the story

It is as good as it could have been without straying too far from the source material I guess.
