    By Grabthar's Hammer, This movie kicks @$$!!!

    I must admit I was initially really wary of this movie. From what I saw on the Pay Per View Trailers, I envisioned basically what it's been made out to be, and that was some sort of childrens' screwy Disney-esque space adventure

    Harsh enough? Don't worry, I turned out to be 100% wrong-o! In fact, as a loyal Trekkie, I had such a blast watching this movie. The inside jokes and references to unnecessary plot complications that have been duplicated down to the last detail on the real-life NSEA Protector scream Star Trek, but it's been so lovingly parodied that no Trek fan could possibly be offended. A total classic, much much funnier than it's given credit for being. I especially enjoyed the pre-teen fans who had the entire ship schematics on their PC at the age when most people are still playing with Power Rangers figures and Barbies, which is an all-too real phenomenon in the Trek fan community.

    The acting is top-notch, (Tim Allen plays the scene-stealing hack down to the last detail, Sigourney Weaver is hilarious as the token female on the ship, Alan Rickman adds wonderful conflict as a furious Shakespearian actor who is convinced his role on the show ruined his career) the special effects are just fabulous, and the few poignant moments are done so well that it's damn near tear-jerking. Do yourself a favor and buy this movie. Don't even rent it first, just buy it!

    By Grabthar's Hammer! What a movie

    The first thing that makes a good movie good is always a great story. The whole idea of actors from a long ago space series being mistaken for being the real deal by actual aliens is indeed ingenious.From there, you put together a top notch cast.They hit the nail on the head there. Tim Allen is a natural for the Jason Nesmith role.A great cast is nothing if they don't work well together.Not to worry.They are superb. This movie is an excellent twist on the old good vs.evil concept.There are movies whose ideas are so unique,you want to love them and not be disappointed.Take my word,Galaxy Quest delivers the goods.Warp speed!

    The Coolest Funniest Quest

    There are some movies that are better watched while you are not eating. 'Galaxy Quest' fits into this category as I made the mistake of watching it while having dinner and I almost choked several times. This is one of the funniest smart comedies I have seen. The film is brilliantly executed and it brilliantly spoofs the science-fiction-spaceship genre. But the film isn't mere silliness as it does have a soul and tells an action adventure story of 5 has-been stars of a famous Star-Trek-type TV show that got cancelled two decades ago. The screenplay is great and the dialogues are witty fun. There is no crude humour or over-the-top-out-of-context joke.

    The special effects wonderfully add to the spoofiness. The monsters and aliens are a 'treat' to watch. An intelligent comedy isn't easy to make as the maker has to pay close attention to line delivery, characterization, situation, comic timing and direction. 'Galaxy Quests' fulfills all criteria from start to end. Tim Allen as the pompous hero, Alan Rickman as the whiny has-been 'Shakespearean'-actor-forced-to-play-an-android, Tony Shalhoub as the funny Fred, Sam Rockwell as the terrified-of-being-the-first-one-to-die Guy, Enrico Colantoni as the gullible Mathezar and last but not least, the incredibly sexy Sigourney Weaver as the tired-of-playing-dumb-blonde Gwen (the total opposite of her famous Ripley character) play their parts.

    I'm glad that I bought this film on impulse yesterday as most American spoofs I have seen, like the abysmal Scary Movies (puke) or the silly Screams (yawn) and the ridiculous Naked Guns (okay this last one was kind of funny) hardly have anything more to offer than silliness. Actually I was given the choice between this and 'Naked Gun 33 and a Half' and i'm glad I made the right decision. 'Galaxy Quest' definitely surpasses these films by several miles as I wouldn't even mind calling it one of the best comedies.

    Brilliant sci-fi satire

    I'm here to say that this film is Tim Allen's best work, big screen or small. Galaxy Quest is a wonderful satire of the Star Trek phenomenon. We have to remember that these people are very good actors and have succeeded in making many believe they are real. If they didn't we wouldn't have Trekkie conventions.

    Tim Allen was the star of a Star Trek like show that has inspired cult like devotion and he and the cast make appearances. It's a living and it does keep their names before the public. Of course some have problems getting cast because casting directors won't see them in anything else.

    Allen takes it as it comes, the other regulars who include Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Darryl Mitchell, Tony Shalhoub, and Sam Rockwell have varying reactions to the cult status they have achieved.

    But in a system far far away some aliens who have monitored the old series from earth and it's 17 years since it ended. It's taken that long to reach these aliens. They are in some deep trouble as an aggressive other group of aliens is trying to take them over and/or exterminate them.

    They send for the Galaxy Quest crew figuring this bunch of warriors are who can help. They even have a ship modeled to the spaceship from the show.

    The concept of entertainment and make believe is unknown to these people. And the regulars have to recall their episodes to make it through.

    I saw this in theater when it came out and loved it. It's fresh today as it was then because these Trekkie type conventions are still with us.

    Great job by Tim Allen and the cast.

    Fun entertainment.

    "Galaxy Quest" is an excellent feel good comedy that's enjoyable for the entire family.

    Even though the concept of the movie is not original anymore, the story is still enjoyable and fun enough, mainly thanks to the cast who seemed to be enjoying them selves during filming.

    Tim Allen is surprising good as "William Shatner" like captain and Alan Rickman is perfect in his role. Sigourney Weaver perfectly makes fun of her own "Ripley" character from the "Alien" movies and plays the complete opposite of this character. All the characters are fun and entertaining because they are humane instead of heroic. There also is a fine stereotype space villain.

    The movie perfectly makes fun of "Star Trek", the fans and everything else around it. Well, I'm not sure if making fun of is the right way to say it, it's more like holding up a mirror, without making the Trekkies look like complete fools.

    But it's a comedy so how about some laughs? Well, there are a few laughs but this movie is more of feel good, fun, entertaining comedy instead of an hilarious one. The movie also knows to be emotional at the right moments.

    Other thing that contribute to the greatness of this movie are the special effects and the musical score composed by David Newman.

    By Grabthar's hammer...what a movie.

    9/10

    • Trivia
      The scene when Tim Allen is in a men's room overhearing how the cast of Galaxy Quest are nobodies and all the co-stars can't stand him mirrors an actual event in William Shatner's life. He discovered the exact same things about himself when he attended a 1986 convention.
    • Goofs
      When Jason Nesmith is fighting the "Pig Lizard" on the rock planet, right before he jumps over the creature, a crew member's hand can be seen maneuvering the puppet.

    • Crazy credits
      At the end of the closing credits, Enrico Colantoni, as Mathesar, says "Never give up... Never surrender!".
    • Alternate versions
      Regrettably, the 20th anniversary restoration recently screened at Paramount used the DVD version, thus it goes from 1.37 to 2.35, including the 20 minutes or so that are supposed to be shown at 1.85.
