I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!! I could watch it over and over and I would just
laugh harder every time. My favorite characters were the Thermins.
They are so innocent and adorable. I cry every time I see Quellek
die. I especially love Laliari, the alien babe. She is so cool, and
I'm not just saying that. My favorite part of the movie is when She
and Tech Sgt. Chen make-out after he beams Gorignak down on the Bad
guys. The expression on His face when he sees all of her tentacles
engulfing him is hilarious! I AM THE ULTIMATE QUESTOID!

Absolutely Fantastic Movie! I have seen it over 150 times, and it
gets funnier every time I see it! I've got to give Kudos to Fred
Kwan(Tony Shaloub) for keeping his cool throughout all the Chaos.
The Thermians are ADORABLE!!!! I wish I could meet them in person.
And yes, Barbara, Mathesar is played by that guy on "Just Shoot
Me".

Galaxy Quest is great fun. Star Trek fans will like the 'blooperish'
quality of the movie. Or, if you think Star Trek fans are way too into
sci fi shows, you'll like the parady of the show and fans alike that Galaxy
Quest provides. Unless you don't like good comedy and science fiction
in the same movie, this movie is definately worth seeing. StarCruiser

Just got back and have to say... COOL MOVIE! Lot's of fun and really good
"inside jokes" (not really inside with all of the scifi fans out
there). Even though some think Tim Allen isn't much of an actor, I think he
did an excellent job in this one, very "Shatneresque" at the
beginning and then becoming more like a real hero as the story goes on...
Definite must see! awsmmacs

Assolute belly laugher. Great family flick. Combo of great
quips and special effects. If you don't fall in love with the aliens
there is something wrong with you. Everything works. Must see. Unknown

It was a romp. Done tongue in cheek for fun, spoofed Sci fi TV
series and persons taking them seriously. Enjoyed Weaver doing something
light. Allen was still Allen. Was the head of the aliens same person on
Shojot Me? FanIncog

A must see! Tim Allen does a magnificent job, more than ably
supported by the rest of the fine cast and the witty script. The
space scenes are -- for once -- truly awesome. Highly recommended. justin

A hilarious spoof of space operas. Truly original, unlike most
contemporary comedies (and sit-coms). Sigourney Weaver as you've
never seen her before. The hard-charging rock monster will delight
all geophiles. A refreshing change from tired, flaccid, and totally
predictable shticks of Robin Williams, Jim Carrey. Welcome relief from the
F-word. actor

Just saw this movie, one word to describe it is FUNNY! A really good
spoof of a trek like show. A good movie for everyone and dont think
you will be bored. Good effects, sound and the actors look like they
had a great time making this movie. A note to those that really read
this. "I did"... LINDABECKY

My family went to see Galaxy Quest yesterday and were all pleasantly
surprised - it is not often that all three of us totally enjoy a movie as
we did Galaxy Quest. The movie was funny, full of action and
adventure, and sometimes serious. I am surprised that this movie is not
being more actively promoted - it's wonderful! Mr.E

Absolutely hilarius, honest with tons of heart. Well written, totally
outlandish, but hell, you actually believe every word! Great effects,
TREMENDOUS SCORE! Dont leave before credits end, there is a little
surprise at the end. I highly recommend this one for your movie dollar.The
cast should be commended. KornFreak

This movie was AWESOME!! The cast was perfect, the script was hilarious,
and the Thermians were absolutely huggable. If you don't want to laugh, I
suggest go sit under a rock. If you want to laugh, go see Galaxy Quest (I
saw it twice!). Alan Rickman was the perfect disgruntled alien actor and
Sam Rockwell was awesome as Guy--crewman #6. Dennis

Thank you Dreams works for Galaxy Quest. It was a wonderful experience to
see a movie w/o vulgarity, wonderful story line and great actors. I will
see it again and I can't wait for video. Best comedy in years. Please
consider sequels. Mr.
Fodder score
= 90 If
you like a romantic movie, with a Shakespearean plot, that touches upon
the love felt between man and woman, see something else! But, if you want
a movie that will keep you laughing even after its over, see galaxy quest.
The visual effects are stunning, yet unobtrusive. The plot is very strong,
unlike a lot of movies of this genre. The cast does a great job of
convincing us that they are really in this situation. Even the aliens are
very well done. If you don't see this movie in the theatre, go out and buy
a big screen TV and a THX unit. This movie benefited from the silver
screen. Are you still here? Run to the theatre. NOW! Rat score

delight! A movie that got all the jokes, but treated fans and
fandom with real respect and understanding. As somebody
who's been a Fan since Classic Trek was in production,
this one Tells It Like It Is and laughs with us, not
at us. Drea score
= 80 It's
a blast from the past and future all in one. Like seeing the cast of Star
Trek get whisked away to save the universe. A fun film with humor
and heartache love and laughter. Andon score
= 90 I
loved it. In a few sentences, it is like a what if story. What
if any of the Star Trek crew had to live their roles on t.v., as if, their
t.v. roles were actually true. Nowadays, we, at times, do not know
what to believe is real or not. This movie points this specific
reality throughout the story. Che'Rogers score

they are really, really cute. Doug

A great space adventure fun for the whole family. Galaxy Quest remarkably
spoofs that classic science-fiction show from its television days to the
stars' reaction to its fans at a convention. Alan Rickman is great
as the actor whose character, Dr. Lazarus, is overshadowed by the immense
popularity of Tim Allen's Captain Taggart. Other notable standout
characters from the film are Guy Fleegman (Sam Rockwell) and the beautiful
alien babe Laliara (Missi Pyle). The movie's finale left me saying,
"Never retire. Never get cancelled!" Misty

Galaxy Quest Starring Tim Allen & Sigourney Weaver Movie Review by
Mark Podlin 5 Dolphins Out of 5 Still Believe Their Ancestors Came from
Outer Space The first time I saw Tim Allen, he was jumping up and down and
howling like a monkey on stage at the Golden Nugget Casino in Las Vegas.
That must have made someone think of that ape scene in 2001: A Space
Odyssey, or maybe Planet of the Apes, to make the monkey leap to cast him
in Galaxy Quest as the Captain Kirk clone. I don’t remember where I
first saw Sigourney Weaver, but I remember thinking she looked like a
better looking Jane Fonda. Of course, she’s best known for her
series of Alien films, and for her cloning to bring her back to life in
the last episode of Aliens. Combining one of TV’s all time biggest money
makers, Tim Allen, with one of the biggest female money making stars in
the movies, Sigourney Weaver, seems like a surefire formula for the
success of a film. But, before you sit down with your popcorn to
start watching Galaxy Quest, you’re not quite sure how this media
marriage is going to turn out. Relax. You’re in for one of
the most enjoyable movies you’ve ever seen. Especially, if you
grew up watching the original Star Trek or its reruns. In many ways,
Galaxy Quest is a homage to Star Trek and its cult of worshippers who have
conventions and routinely dress up as the characters from the show. They
discuss the events of the show as if they really happened and entertain
themselves with all sorts of fanciful scenarios about what might have
happened if such and such had happened. The beauty of Galaxy Quest is that
it cleverly picks up and develops the Star Trek fan fantasy about what
would have happened if the characters of Star Trek were real. Not
just real spacemen, but actors who become spacemen and carry on in real
life what they originally pretended they were doing for the screen. These
actors are actually refugees from a science fiction TV show from the
70’s called Galaxy Quest. Over twenty years later, they are
supporting themselves by showing up at Galaxy Quest science fiction
conventions dressed as the characters they played years ago. Work
isn’t easy to find when you’ve been typecast as a spaceman or
spacewoman. Speaking of spacewomen, see Sigourney Weaver as an airheaded
spacebroad who wants the universe to take her seriously. She comes
with extra padding and a nice blonde head of hair to play up to every
nerd’s fantasy. In the later scenes, she looks like the perfect
spacetramp to insure the cultivation of a new herd of nerds anxious to
lick her militaristic booties. Tim Allen takes on the persona of William
Shatner—as we’ve always heard he was—in a role clearly patterned on
Shatner’s Captain Kirk. If I have to tell you that Shatner played
Captain James T. Kirk in Star Trek, then you might prefer to see Anna and
the King, rather than this wild space romp that is full of Star
Trekkian insider jokes. Galaxy Quest is an amazing film that captures the
essence of the Star Trek cult and totally satisfies every fantasy about
Star Trek in the same way Shakespeare in Love satisfied the fantasy of
every lover of Shakespeare and Romeo and Juliet. Like Shakespeare in
Love, Galaxy Quest resurrects our heroes from fictional oblivion and
revitalizes them for our imagination in the most satisfying way possible.
Galaxy Quest reassures us that no matter how big you dream, there’s
always a chance your dreams could come true. And that, too, is why
opening this movie on Christmas Day was very much the right thing to do.
It’s Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer for you people from the Future. Michael

I loved this film. Everything comes together here: witty social
commentary, engaging characters played by a cast who are obviously having
great fun in their respective roles, a surprisingly poignant and touching
story with great special effects. One unexpected surprise were the
roles of the friendly aliens who seek the aid of the Galaxy Quest crew:
their performances were excellent, deeper and much more engaging than one
would have expected given the place their roles had in the script. In
lesser hands, we would have ended up with shallow "Data" clones
without a shred of empathy or originality...as it is in this film,
however, I felt they nearly upstaged the leads! To anyone familair with
Trekkies and the SF Convention scene, this film will delight with the
dead-on characterizations and in jokes that abound. Agagin, I enjoyed this
film a lot and am recommending it to anyone with a sense of fun or
imagination. I can't wait to see it again! Michael Whelan Ryan

We went to the movie theater to see "The Green Mile", but the
times were posted wrong, so we decided to see this instead. What we did
see was the wittiest, funniest, most indulging comedy this year! Galaxy
Quest is brilliant comedy. The entire cast is superb, the writing is
clever, the pace is exhilirating. No need to be a trekkie to enjoy this
one--I've watched about two episodes of Star Trek in my life and I was
falling out of my seat with laughter. You'll love it! Bravo

For SciFi fans who can laugh at themselves this is a must see. Same
premise as "The Three Amigos" but with a modern SciFi flare,
this movie lives up to and goes beyond your expectations. GO SEE THIS
MOVIE!!! mom

This was a great movie, esp. for Star Trek fans who have a sense of humor.
My favorite was "crewman #6". A movie that would be good
to see again, the humor is quick and I am sure I missed a few good jokes.
Well written and clever. As good or better than I anticipated. Florence

One of the most enjoyable movies I've ever seen. And the friend I
went with agrees. I had expected it to be mediocre, but was so pleasantly
surprised. It helps to be a Star Trek fan, but this movie is a treat all
on its own. I actually came out of the theater feeling glad I had been to
a movie. Thanks for the opportunity to review! LH

It was just "a hoot" watching scifi and humor blend in a witty,
charming spoof of Star Trek, Trekkies and conventions. Get ready to laugh
at the lines AND enjoy the plot. For more reviews click here |
For four years, the crew of the NSEA Protector donned their uniforms
and set off on thrilling and often dangerous missions in space--then their series was
canceled. Twenty years later, the five stars of the classic '70s TV series Galaxy Quest
are still in costume, making appearances at science fiction conventions for their legions
of die-hard fans. But some of those fans are a little more far out than the actors could
ever have imagined.
