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!

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!

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

For once the real participants of the movies are interviews not some obscure cinema critics. One thing a bit confusing though is the loudness of the background music covering what people are saying. It makes the documentary exhausting to watch.

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.
