    Great, but shame about the audio!

    Fantastic documentary, well produced and filmed, I'm guessing the sound mixing was done by the guy who made the music because it's stupidly loud, to the point where it's hard to hear the speech at times and is always distracting at the very least. A real shame because it's great otherwise!

    Great for all fans of Galaxy Quest

    Personally, I think Never Surrender is the ideal Making-Of documentary. There are countless movies nowadays that have this kind of material available as soon as the blu-ray is available to own, but that doesn't allow for the passage of time to see how the film will hold up and how it affects culture and fandom. Never Surrender takes a good deep dive into a film that was made 20 years ago, and is able to give perspective not only on how it was made, but more importantly how it has impacted the lives of those who love it. It is a true love-letter to Galaxy Quest, and it instantly made me want to watch the film again. What I think they nailed in this documentary is pinpointing the elements that made it resonate for many people. It includes interviews with all the key players who are still alive, and is overloaded with clips of fans at all different levels of obsession. As a documentary about a film that I love, it certainly was enjoyable to watch, but it's also hard to rate/rank because it is entirely reliant on love of Galaxy Quest to get that enjoyment. Needless to say, I recommend all Questarians watch Never Surrender soon because it is a delight. But if you're not a fan of Galaxy Quest, there's simply no reason to even think about watching this documentary.

    Great documentary, shame nobody in production watched it before releasing it.

    Made me watch the film again at it was really intersting. But the music track is not only crappy music, it is edited about 4 times as loud as it should be. Its so loud at times you wont hear the people speaking, and I think it actually gets quieter in scenes with no dialogue. At first I thought I had music coming from somewhere else as it was so loud dand unconnected to the what I was trying to watch. Ignoring that, turn on subtitles and get ready to rekindle your love of this movie.

    Now I am a fan!!

    A beautifully crafted, honest and emotionally poignant feature length documentary about the making of the underrated sci-fi comedy "Galaxy Quest". I liked the movie when I saw it when it was being released, but I wasn't a fan persé. Now I am. A must-see!

    A love letter to the fans

    This documentary by the producers of "Honest Trailers" is a heartfelt tribute to one of the most perfect films ever made. It was made by fans, for fans, and that's exactly what Galaxy Quest is all about. While I re-watch the original movie on a regular basis, this film made me want to watch it all over again. I did not mind at all paying a premium at the theater to see it, and I hope it wider exposure so that many other fans can enjoy it. My hat is off to the producers for a wonderful trip down memory lane.

      Self - 'Data', Star Trek TNG: What I mainly felt watching the film, and I felt it all the way through, was, why didn't we do this? Why didn't we do this, it would have been us, and we would have gone through that same journey. We would have had such a big hit.
