Because this is not just another man-saves-galaxy- from-unspeakable-evil story. Because in this free-wheeling space opera, it’s all about the oddballs and outcasts. Because it’s set to a 70s AM beat with goofy spirit and sweet retro charm that is all too easy to love. Because it’s as fantastic as it is fun and as hilarious as it is heartfelt. Because blockbuster wunderkind Chris Pratt is already having the best summer ever. Because even Iron Man called it the best Marvel movie to date. Because there’s a talking raccoon voiced by Bradley Cooper. Because, ooh child, things are gonna get easier. And because WE ARE GROOT—“Guardians of the Galaxy” could very well be the most downright giddy and just plain awesome movie making its debut at the Open Space this year.
