1999 Directed by Dean Parisot
The stars of a 1980s sci-fi show—now eking out a living through re-runs and sci-fi conventions—are beamed aboard an alien spacecraft. Believing the cast's heroic on-screen dramas are historical documents of real-life adventures, the band of aliens turn to the cast members for help in their quest to overcome the oppressive regime in their solar system.

This thing is just incredible. Perfect premise with a near-perfect execution. All of the jokes hold up, it’s “holy cow, that guy is in this??” city, and the creature designs and effects are just shockingly good for a comedy in 1999. Gabe said “these are honestly better than Star Wars” and I was ready to roast him for it until he clarified that he meant the prequels, which were released at the same time- and he’s right! That will teach me to second guess Gabe!
Couldn’t stop giggling at the Thermians. They move like *NSYNC in the Bye Bye Bye video. Even with that, Jason explaining how they’re actors to Mathesar is shockingly sad. Tony Shalhoub’s stony, passive Fred is maybe the VIP here in a movie full of VIPs.
you can tell how passionate the filmmakers are about star trek, and i think that’s exactly what propels this into greatness. true satire comes from a place of love! sometimes indulges too hard in the very tropes it’s attempting to parody (i.e. sigourney weaver character’s costume miraculously being torn in a ~sexy~ way), but then atones by being very funny (i.e. letting her yell “whoever wrote this episode should DIE!!!!”). me like to smile and laugh :)
intensely reminded me of the jimmy neutron win, lose, and kaboom 3-part episode where they all compete on an intergalactic reality game show. looked the special up and tim allen voices the alien antagonist! me also like to be right :)
If you watch this while focusing on whatever Sam Rockwell is doing in the background at any given moment it’s like a whole extra mini movie
Very high on the list of amazing movies that should have gotten sequels but didn’t, and are so much better for it.
Tim Allen is legit great in this. This role plays to all his strengths and non-strengths. He gets the oily, egotistical side of Shatner, but he also has an innate affability that keeps you onboard with him. He is also - and this is very important - an obvious lightweight next to Rickman, just as Shatner was next to Patrick Stewart or even Nimoy.
Sigourney Weaver one of the baddest to ever do it. Steals this movie with her bit of living out bad tropes in science fiction writing like repeating everything the computer says to everyone else who just heard it and having to run through a gauntlet of death that has absolutely no purpose whatsoever. "Whoever wrote this episode should DIE!"
Both a knowing parody of a particular television show and a rousing science fiction epic in its own right, Dean Parisot's "Galaxy Quest" is much more than a one-note send-up. Lovingly skewering "Star Trek" while cutting its own entertaining path, the film is an ideally cast, solidly assembled comic spectacle with its heart and brain it the right place. It is an exciting, funny, and outstandingly entertaining piece of work that rates among 1999's best films.
Revolving around the cast of a sci-fi television program from the 1980s, "Galaxy Quest" finds the group of actors whisked into outer space by an alien people in need of help. Having seen the broadcast of the TV show, and assuming it to be…
"This episode was badly written!"
I've seen Galaxy Quest countless times from when I was 12 to the present day and I still absolutely love it. Whether it genuinely "holds up" or whether I've simply got Nostalgia Goggles for it isn't something I can honestly answer because I'm too caught up in my fondness for it. I recognize it doesn't work for everyone, but it works wonders for me. I know all the jokes by now but they still make me laugh; I know all the conflicts by now but they still make me cry. I've never seen a parody with so much heart, so willing to always take its silly premise seriously and ground itself in real characters. There…
