Summary: another fun romp through the stars - sigourney is hot
Review: Also another one for my collection. S. Weaver looks especially hot in this one with blonde hair and a chest that doesn't stop. Very entertaining aliens they encounter, love the playoffs on star trek. The character of Guy Flegman is definately the plucky comic relief :)

Summary: Trekkie Spoof
Review: This film is very funny. I am sure the the actors had a great time playing their parts. It shows on screen. This film is not only a spoof on the original Star Trek series and its cast, but on sci fi conventions in general. You will be laughing all the thru this.

Summary: Amusing and Enjoyable
Review: The has-been cast of a cult science fiction series much like Star Trek are mistaken for real space warriors by a group of aliens who need help fighting off an angry warlord and his troups. Never quite as funny or sharp as it could have been, and the good cast (especially Alan Rickman) isn't used to its full advantage, but it's amusing and enjoyable. Stars Tim Allen and Sigourney Weaver.

Summary: The final frontier....Galixy Quest
Review: This movie is a very good movie and had a lot of heart felt moments. The plot was good and the special effects were good also. It was adventerous and entertaining. I liked it cause it was a family orientated movie and you could watch it with the family with out being embaraced. I recommend this one. If you like, spoofs from the trekky era, then this is the one to see. "With the Kids".

Summary: Surprisingly entertaining, even for the "Non-Trekkie"
Review: My wife, being a good natured gal, agreed to go see GALAXY QUEST with me. Neither of us are hard-core trekkies, but I grew up watching Capt Kirk order "fire proton torpedoes" and "set you phasers on stun" enough times to want to see what this show offered.Both of us were truly surprised. Much to her chagrin, my wife agreed that she actually enjoyed the film a great deal. As for myself, I seldom laugh out loud while watching a movie -- this movie broke that trend. There were several laugh out loud scenes in the movie for both of us. I bet there will be for you, too. As for the show itself, it is, of course, a spoof on the original "Star Trek." The movie has a somewhat slow start, but that segment is essential to setting up the rest of the show. Once the show gets moving, though, there is plenty of good fun for everyone. Maybe the reason I enjoyed it so much is that I went to see it with fairly low expectations -- was I ever surprised! Tim Allen does a great job as the Kirk-like captain of a long off the air sci-fi show, and his supporting cast does a grand job as well. Join in the fun as this rag-tag cast of TV has-beens get hooked up with a civilization of naive aliens who are in a world of hurt. Can the crew of GALAXY QUEST help them? Save them? Tune in and see. Good special effects, a funny script, and a cast that clicks makes for a wonderful experience from this surprising entry into the sci-fi genre. OK, so, with that glowing recommendation, why only 4 stars instead of five? It is definitely worth 5 stars for the crowd who grew up watching the original Star Trek, for people who are current trekkies, and for those who enjoy good situation comedy. This movie is not, however, for everyone. There is a good supply of corniness involved, and those who never did like Star Trek and similar shows should probably look elsewhere for their next viewing option. You never know though...YOU JUST MIGHT LIKE IT! 4 stars, not quite making it to 5. Worth a Saturday afternoon or an open week day night. Alan Holyoak

Summary: Really funny movie
Review: This was a really funny movie, and was well acted. Though it is a parody of Star Trek, and does poke fun at so called Trekkies, it is so light hearted that it doesn't seem mean or anything. I really loved Sigourney Weaver, Dean Parisot, Tony Shaloub, Enrico Colantoni, basically the whole cast of this movie. They were all (especially Sigourney) extremely funny and had great comic timeing. The only reason I didn't give this movie a perfect score was because it was kind of corny and predictable. This movie is definitely not your regular family film, but is rather much too adult to be like any other kiddie fare.

Summary: A Hilarious parody of Star Trek
Review: Star Trek is probably, in my opinion, the most overrated shows and movies I have ever seen. Which may be why I liked Galaxy Quest, because it pokes fun at the people who are obsessed with Star Trek and it's has been star's. Tim Allen plays the actor who played the ego-maniac captain, sound like a certain actor from Star Trek? Sigourney Weaver plays the beautiful blond who plays the tight-uniform wearing actress from Galaxy Quest. Which she only gets interviews about her cleavage and not her career. All the cast members are suddenly swept away to another world where they must do what they been acting like they were doing on TV years ago, in order to save these alien's world. The laughs are many and the fun is non-stop. A well done film. GRADE: A-

Summary: Hit the fast-forward button for twenty mnutes
Review: Tip one: never, ever go to a PG-rated film at 4:30 on a Sunday afternoon. I got spoiled by having empty theaters for the last few movies I went to. I haven't seen a theatre this full since Sleepy Hollow. At least the subject matter was more appropriate this time. Despite the presence of some serious starpower, this had the potential to be a truly awful movie. Thankfully, it managed to avoid that, although it took the easy way out. The cast of an old TV show called Galaxy Quest are making their living showing up at conventions. (Sound familiar?) They are approached by a band of real aliens, who think that the reruns are actually documentaries, who ask them to save their planet from the evil lizard-bird-alien-thing Saris. The commander (Tim Allen), who thinks they're asking him to do a faked appearance, goes along and discovers himself actually out in space, in a real replica of the Galaxy Quest ship. He lures the others (including an extra who was killed five minutes into his episode-- sound familiar?) into helping him battle Saris. With, of course, the expected results. This could have also degenerated into simple parody. And it's good enough simple parody of the first few crossover Star Trek films (while Tim Allen's character is obviously modeled on Jim Kirk, Alan Rickman seems to be an odd cross of Spock and Picard-- early on, he mumbles to himself, "Why am I doing this? I played Richard III!"), with more than enough laughs to stand, but what turns this puerile silliness into truly biting satire is the second level of parody; if you see Star Trek itself as a self-parody, something that was meant to be cheesy, then you can see a lot of Galaxy Quest as parody within parody. The miners (you've seen the trailers, right? The ones Sigourney Weaver says "look like little children") bear a more-than-passing resemblance to Teletubbies, carrying on the Star Trek tradition of pop-culture cannibalism; jokes are made about Tim Allen's character sleeping with everything that moves; etc. All is well and good with the last hour of this film. It's funny, smart (well, okay, in a stupid way), well-acted, and cheesy as all get-out. It's the first twenty minutes that I couldn't get my head around. The slowest of slow starts, which usually spells death for a comedy; the strength of the movie's remaining time is all that saves it. The cast are capable. The script is stupid, but it's supposed to be (and intent is everything). Sigourney Weaver still looks fabulous with half her clothing ripped off. The tagline is "never give up; never surrender." I wish they'd circumvented it long enough to give up the first twenty minutes of this movie. ** 1/2

Summary: Finally, a good comedy with Tim Allen!
Review: Sci-fi fans will obviously love this movie, which twits all the conventions of Star Trek and its ilk. For the rest of us, it's a pretty good exploration of what actors might owe, both to their audiences and the characters they play. The shtick of this movie is that former actor Jason Nesmith (Tim Allen) and the rest of the cast of the fictional sci-fi show "Galaxy Quest" are mistaken for an actual starship crew by extraterrestrials. But the slight plot fades in importance to seeing Allen, Sigourney Weaver shift from playing actors to playing their characters. It's worth watching, and could be enjoyably paired up with "Wes Craven's New Nightmare" for another take on the same theme. Enjoy!

Summary: Review by Primaat
Review: Greetings... I am Primaat... I am from... France... I found great earth humor in this series of still images placed on a very good tasting acetate media... Very clever these Tarans, to make a media that is both enter-taining and delicious, when consumed with fried chicken embryos, and the beverage made of hopps. Upon viewing, my cone realed in waves of...delight... Not since seeing Yaknoo the Humorous on the third planet of the Neepzor System ... (I mean ...Paris, in ..France) has my cone been so filled with mirth. I recommend this highly to earthlings and others wishing to be entertained and nourished at the same... time... Earthilings in space! hahahahaha In Summation, I, Primaat rate this both 5 stars plus for it's entertainment value, and the taste of it's acetate media.
