While it suffers from choppy pacing and sporadic decisions on world-building (or perhaps universe-building) it remains to me to be a delightfully quirky little romp through the galaxy, with enjoyable characters and a scattering of absurdist humour. It flirts with the deeper concepts of theology and philosophy, highlighted in the cleverly conceived animated moments and the narration of Stephen Fry, but more often it prefers to play to the strengths of its comedic cast in place of becoming a 'deep-thought' piece on life, the universe and everything.
