Never Surrender: A Galaxy Quest Documentary

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!

I am in Canada, so seeing this in a theatre was not possible. So December 17th meant an iTunes purchase. Worth every cent! I saw Galaxy Quest opening weekend 20 years ago! It was instantly in my top 10 of films. This documentary is a beautiful love letter to the cast, fans and creators! If you love GQ, you will enjoy this! The passing of Alan Rickman was extremely sad, for his family/friends firstly - of course, but also for fans that the Amazon-planned revival series was gone along with him. No-one else could play Sir Alexander Dane, no-one. So we can just enjoy the movie, and now this documentary. Well done Screen Junkies! Just have to wait for the Honest Trailer for this documentary now

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.

To be clear, this is NOT a "The Making Of:" documentary. It is about what the movie meant to the actors and crew. It is about how shows and movies, such as Star Trek, influenced the movie. The reviewer mentioning the audio is spot on. It appears like the documentary was released before anyone watched it; otherwise the audio would have been lowered. I found myself staining to hear the dialog. At one point, the audio suddenly increased to the point where I very literally could not hear the last few words being spoken. Love the movie but this was a waste of time and I didn't even watch it to the end.

I did enjoy watching this documentary, I LOVE Galaxy Quest, and this was a good trip behind the scenes. But, as others have said, the sound mixing is abysmal. The background music is considerably louder than the interviews and it's very annoying. Someone needs to remix this. Otherwise, it's honestly very interesting and entertaining.
