    The makers of this film are clearly fans, and they've put more heart and genuine humor into this piece than Paramount has into the original franchise in years.

    A fast, loose, and very funny parody that pulls off the not-so-simple feat of tweaking Trekkies and honoring them.

    An affectionate, often clever and unflaggingly funny satire.

    More than one joke or one idea. It's a thoroughly satisfying comedy --and a respectable space adventure, as well.

    Galaxy Quest is a 1999 film directed by Dean Parisot. The story is about a group of people protagonist of a TV series of the seventies / eighties that became a cult hit and continues to thrill fans despite past 18 years by the suspension of the series. An alien people, the thermiani, asking for help to these actors so indent with the bloody Sarris who wants to subjugate the pacific aliens, believing that the adventures of the characters are real. The film is a parody of the popular TV series Star Trek, but in addition it is also a huge tribute that manages to entertain fans and not with jokes and original situations that never fall into the banal or ridiculous. Great cast.… Full Review »

    Not very exciting or humorous, even when accompanied by gifted actors such as Sigourney Weaver and Alan Rickman.

    A very funny movie that I imagine does a very realistic parody of the original Star Trek cast (if they were put into this situation.) Allan Rickman is just brilliant, Sigorny Weaver further cement her Queen of Sci-Fi role, and Tim Allen, *long silent pause* Tim Allen. Overall a great movie that is a great Sci-Fi comedy that has allot of fun with itself.… Full Review »
