Summary: Witty and sly
Review: I went to this movie expecting a few things: some good Trek one-liners, some neat special effects, and a cheezy Tim Allen plot. What I got was even funnier than I expected, as well as a story that rivaled the last actual Trek movie (the abominible Insurrection)! This movie was excellent--funny, smart, and not insulting (well, not too insulting) to the Trekkies it pokes fun at. Well worth a watch!The DVD has excellent picture and sound quality. The extras are a mixed bag. The deleted scenes are pretty good, but the Thermian Language track is annoying--who in their right mind would sit and watch more than a minute or two in a screchy, made up alien tongue?

Summary: Surprisingly great movie
Review: This is one of the best movies I have seen. It is definitely the best comedy I have seen. The concept of having has-been actors mistaken for real space adventurers is pure genius. I initially thought it was going to be corny, but I quickly found that the scenes had a good balance between humor and serious drama. And the transition between the two worked great. Not only did the movie successfully show us how ridiculous situations can get, but it showed us the consequences of bad decisions when we get into those situations. The convention scenes suffiently looked like "DragonCon" to have me laughing. And the special effects were surprisingly good. I ended up watching this movie a couple of times when I first bought it on DVD. I give this movie my highest recommendation.

Summary: about as interesting as actually watching Star Trek
Review: I'm not sure who is supposed to like this film. If you don't like Star Trek you won't get half the "puns" and if you do like Star Trek you won't like having fun poked at you as a geeky Billy No-mates who dresses up as his favourite actor 20 years after the show ended. Try Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels if you want to see a genuinely funny comedy.

Summary: Classic Tim Allen, but no real storyline...
Review: This is a very funny movie, but I was hoping for more based on all of the "pre-movie hype". It was definitely the humor that you would expect from Tim Allen, and Sigourney Weaver was looking as "hot" as ever. I enjoyed the movie, but I think I paid too much to own this one.

Summary: A cute, lighthearted sci-fi spoofer
Review: I admit I wasn't at all interested in this movie, but I ended up watching it after reluctantly agreeing to sit through at least 30 minutes of it with my husband. After that half hour was up, I'd really begun to enjoy the story and the characters. Tim Allen is dead-on in his Shatner-ish captain persona, and he works well as the spotlight-hogging has-been that his fellow cast members of Galaxy Quest think him. Sigourney Weaver is really cute as the essentially useless female crew member, and her character owns up to this in one scene by saying something to the effect of: "I have only one job on this ship, and it's a stupid one, but I'm going to do it!" The aliens are wonderful in their naievete, and they flatly cannot accept that the "historical documents" of Galaxy Quest are in fact, a lie. Alan Rickman is hilarious as the second-fiddle, snobby, highly advanced alien counterpart to the captain, and his smug responses to fans delivering his most famous line will have you in stitches. All in all, it's a cute movie with a simple but entertaining story. There's not a lot of violence, so even the kids could watch (no younger than 7, I think). Watch it when you need a giggle.

Summary: Nit-picking fans
Review: As a self-described nit-picking SF fan, I can't see any other nit-picking SF fan disliking this one. It takes a great many of the accepted and apocryphal concepts about television's flavor of SF (which, of course, largely isn't) and their fans (many of whom truly do wax fanatical) and turns them on their collective ear in a delightful fashion. Obligatory comment about the DVD: Special Features Cast and Crew Brandon Long -- The above is an error. "Brandon" is the character. JUSTIN Long is the actor.

Summary: Great Saturday Night Movie!
Review: Invite your friends (with or without kids), pop some corn, turn on the bigscreen and pop this into the DVD and at the end, everyone will be chuckling gleefully. I know this sounds like a publicist's blurb, but trust me, this one delivers. And it's good enough for re-watching. Ingenious premise, great cast, comedy, pathos, fine F/X, happy endng, no profanity (despite some intense dialogue, none needed) and the delicious Alan Rickman. Is he playing against type? It's hard to say, except that he's perfect as a sort of Shakespearian Mr. Spock manqué. In fact, it's fun to see the Star Trek crew - both generations - skewered by proxy here. Most everything is right with this movie, though I do have a couple of quibbles about plausability with couple of scenes (Yes, with a premise this implausable, I quibble about plausability.) but Galaxy Quest is such an enjoyable that I rate it a solid 4 stars.

Summary: New Favorite film
Review: If you are a sci fi fan, this comedy should be on your shelf. It is now one of my favorites. I hope they come out with a sequel.

Summary: Funny, but not "all that"
Review: I'm a big Trekkie... or I guess the correct term would be "Trekker" as I'm more into the new series spin-offs than the old series... I appreciated the tongue-in-cheek elbow in the ribs this film gave to Star Trek fans and conventions, and a lot of other sci-fi shows for that matter, but the timing seemed a little off to evoke spontaneous humor. Great make-up and good acting. The DVD's look at deleted scenes is a must-see... it's funny to see what scenes were cut, and why and to hear the commentary. This was a clever film, but it fell short of what the trailer promised. The funniest scenes were already shown in the previews, so it was hard to glean other laughs from the rest of the film. A film that takes a more direct approach to making light of ST fans is "Trekkies" .... which blows this film away in regards to quick wit and non-stop laughs. Some very cool animated characters and other SFX make the film worth watching for lovers of eye candy.

Summary: Galaxy Quest- The Makings of a Classic Comedy
Review: Galaxy Quest is hilariously funny, with wonderful acting, and good special effects. If you're a fan of space movies and/or comedies, this would be a great addition to your collection. Appropriatley rated PG, contains some sexual content, but for people 9 and over, it's a wonderful comedy, that even haters of Sci-Fi should add to their collection.
