Oh my god, this film looks like it was just as much fun to film as it was to watch. WHERE DO YOU EVEN BEGIN? I can't believe I didn't see this sooner, what a lovely little film. Alan Rickman at his snarky best, SAM ROCKWELL! SAM ROCKWELL SHOULD BE IN EVERY SINGLE FILM IN THE WORLD. AND LITTLE BABY JUSTIN LONG EEEEEE HE'S SO CUTE.
The aliens were so hilarious, everything about this is just pure fun. Incredible.

This movie is one of my favorites so a warning should be given. Gushing is going to begin....now!
This movie has a brilliant cast. I'm not going to name all of them, but they're all fantastic. I will mention that this is the movie that brought both Tony Shalhoub, Sam Rockwell and Justin Long to my attention. I also want to say that we all know Alan Rickman and Sigourney Weaver are great actors, but this movie reminds me of how funny they are too, and how I wish they did more comedy. Finally, a defense of Tim Allen. He's easy to pick on, as he tends to make sitcoms that appeal to the lowest common denominator and his movie…

One of the most ridiculously awesome films ever made. It's impossible to talk seriously about this because it's just so damn fun to watch.
You've got a hilarious script, parodies of nearly every sci-fi trope in existence and the cast...well, it's Alan Rickman, Sigourney Weaver, Sam Rockwell and Tim Allen turning everything up to about 100 and then running away with it.How can anyone say that they don't like this?

if you were a character on "Star Trek" it would be a baffling and harrowing ordeal that would likely end in your grisly death.

Surprisingly funny movie, even for someone who's never seen Star Trek. Perfectly cast, just perfect.
Sat there with a smile on my face the whole way through. -
On a par with Shaun of the Dead for genre parody, lovingly pointing out the nonsensical quirks of the genre, whilst showing why we all love it in the first place, and never talks down to its fans.
The fuck did it take me so long to see it?

Esta película debió llamarse Star Trek Comedy o algo por el estilo. La temática es bien simple, una parodia a películas de ciencia ficción interestelares con elementos cómicos y con un elenco que no pasa desapercibido, clásica película en donde actuaria Alan Rickman.
Es imposible tomarse esta película enserio, pero divertida, para mí, muy poco.

... what a movie.

A great way to decompress from an exhaustive marathon of Star Trek.
Sam Rockwell is adorable. Why don't we see him more?! -

Those aliens were weird man.

'Galaxy Quest' is a great and quirky homage to nerd culture and how that which we consider science fiction today, we may discover to be science fact tomorrow.

A perfectly cast, perfectly performed comedy. Every line is delivered right in tune with the specified characters. Rarely are so many characters so clearly defined and drawn on a single screen. The journey is there. The action is fun. And god damn does Sam Rockwell and Alan Rickman make the best out of every bit of dialogue.
I love this movie.

I spent the majority of the movie thinking that Tony Shaloub's character was late on his transport to the ship because he had just smoked a fat blunt before being whisked away to space. The "That was a hell of a thing" line and pretty much every subsequent shot of him justifies this.
Then comes Sam Rockwell in the third act, "Are you stoned?"
Yes. Perfect.
Also, this movie is freaking hilarious how did I not watch this when I was younger? Seriously.

Overall the film's strongest aspect is the concept. It is an idea that I had not seen done before and that was really what kept me watching. The acting is fine for a b-class, or c-class, comedy. I mean when you see that Tim Allen is your top listing, you don't get your hopes up. but some of the portrays in this film are pretty creative if nothing else. The person that plays the main alien guy was pretty creative with his timing when stating basic sentances, which you probably wouldn't understand if you haven't seen the film. I didn't laugh a ton at the movie but I did think it was fairly humorous. I will say that when I did laugh it was more than a basic chuckle. Like I said before this is just your basic b or c-comedy. It is a good movie to have playing in the background while doing something else.
