This was FUN!!!!!! Galaxy Quest is a delightful and ingenious sci-fi comedy that pays homage to classic science fiction while cleverly satirizing the conventions of the genre. The plot centers around a group of washed-up actors who once starred in a cult TV show called "Galaxy Quest," portraying heroic space explorers. However, years later, they find themselves struggling to find work and living off their past glories at fan conventions. Unbeknownst to them, a group of real extraterrestrial beings, the Thermians, have been watching their show and have mistaken it for historical documents, believing the actors to be genuine space heroes.

Led by Tim Allen as the egotistical but ultimately endearing Jason Nesmith, the actors fully embrace their roles within roles. Sigourney Weaver shines as Gwen DeMarco, the sole female cast member whose only job is to repeat the ship's computer and look good in tight outfits. Alan Rickman, in a brilliant performance, plays Alexander Dane, a classically trained actor who despises his catchphrase "By Grabthar's hammer!" The entire ensemble delivers impeccable comedic timing, elevating the film beyond a simple parody.

Obligatory mention of the fact that they polled people at a Star Trek convention once on their favorite Trek movies of all-time, and even Trek fans voted it, I believe, the 7th best Trek movie ever. The cast of Trek pretty much universally loves it, too. George Takei said it was almost like a documentary.

Love this movie, it's one of the films that I grew up watching during family nights; we almost always ended up watching A Knight's Tale, Galaxy Quest, or I forced everyone to watch Dragonheart.

So typically for me I'm not really a sci-fy fan, there are some movies I do like and I get why they are beloved but they are usually not for me. However I absolutely love this movie, it's just a clever and funny idea. There's not that many movies that has the actors playing actors and showing you behind the curtain. And the midst of all the comedy they are somehow able to add some genuine emotional moments like when Jason tells the truth about who they really are or the other aliens suffocating or even finding out that most of their population is dead. They are definitely joking a little bit at the genre but also it's a love letter to it at the same time, it's the perfect mix. But you have to give it up to the actors/actress playing the aliens, they fully committed to their roles, I love that you can tell they are trying to walk like them but are still learning how and same with clapping and laughing, it is just so funny and they are always in character. But for me Sam Rockwell stole the show, he killed it in every scene he was in, I love his scream when first getting there, his breakdown going to the planet and I love that he's kind of the voice for the audience. And I love the idea for his character. He is such an underrated actor. Some fun facts: Tony Shalob's character was suppose to be high all the time and that's why he's always so calm but after changing the rating to PG they had to cut it and just imply that's what's happening. And if you see her mouth during that big hammer maze or whatever it's called Gwen actually sees the f word but again it now was PG so they dubbed it to forget it but you can clearly tell she did not say that, lol. The casting loved the actor who played Tommy (sorry can't remember his real name) but the only problem was he was too young to play against the much older cast so that's why they had his character originally be a child and now he's grown up. And speaking of that actor, you might remember him as the cool/funny teacher Mr. Morgan from 10 Things I Hate About You.

One thing Galaxy Quest directly references and parodies from Star Trek, is that sometimes characters talk long & intensely about very complicated and confusing sc-fi science problems and technology solutions. I imagine the science & technology dialogue in the show can cause anxiety to viewers who may feel that people have to understand those conversations. I'm a long-time Star Trek fan, and I can say that it's competely okay to not know what they're talking about. I usually don't understand the sci-fi science & technology conversations either, and just enjoy the stories. I think Star Trek does this because it wants to show how science and technology is important for operating real-life airplanes, sea-ships & space-stations - and the show often loosely bases its inventions on some real science. But for me, it has never been necessary to understand or make-sense of the show's sci-fi science & technology conversations. For me, the best part of Star Trek has always been the stories about the characters - and the way the show uses these stories to talk about our world.
