Summary: endearing characters
Review: Not only is this a clever and very funny parody of Star Trek, that doesn't try to be nauseatingly hilarious, but it's also a pretty good action movie in its own right. The scenes of washed-up actors doing endless convention appearances give the characters much more depth than you usually find in a parody.

Summary: Ooh this is good!
Review: Despite it's name sound, this is really not a serious sci-fi movie, it's more of a comedy with a slight Sci-fi feel. Good news for parents, nothing incredibly violent, but parents still may want to supervise their really young kids watching it. Everyone should like this movie, people young and old alike. Have a good journey space explorer :)

Summary: BUY IT!
Review: My kids (5 and 9) and I watch this movie over and over. As an old Star Trek/sci fi fan, I find it a crack up. But you don't have to be a Trekker to find the movie funny - its a hoot. And the plot and acting are terrific. I never expected the movie to be so good. Any one who likes sci fi or just a good adventure film will LOVE this movie.The violence (weapons are used, a few somewhat scary aliens, and there is one death) is on the level of the original Star Trek, not excessive and in context of the plot/growth of a major character - most 5-6 year olds would handle it easily (definitely less offensive than most Saturday morning TV shows).

Summary: PURE FUN
Review: I must admit that I had severe misgivings about this film when I first heard about it, but those doubts evaporated almost as soon as Tim Allen first got on the aliens' space ship. I'm an avid Star Trek fan, so my appreciation of "Galaxy Quest" was further enhanced by my knowledge of the origin of the spoof. But you don't need to know anything about Star Trek to enjoy this movie, because it's not really a spoof of the series, it's a spoof of the series' FANS. The portrayal of the kids with the detailed blueprints of the ship's layout was priceless, and reminded me a little too closely of people I know. The cast did a great job coming together. Although none had a particularly challenging role, they did need to achieve cohesion to be believable, which they did nicely. If you love space or hate it, this movie's for you.

Summary: A Funny Sci-Fi movie for an older audience
Review: I love when these movies that look childish come out and are more or less aimed at an older viewing audience. This DVD is served to be a classic in your collection of other movies. The quest was simple, save an alien planet from destruction, but it turned much worse when they pick out-of-work actors and actresses from a show called StarQuest. Trying to help the aliens out, they come upon many bluders and faults in there search for victory. Not only does the cast really bring this movie alive, the special effects and comedy really keep you up and interested. Comedy is a big portion of this movie and it really keeps comming at you, if your observant, you'll notice many little things happening in the background as a scene is going on. This movie is creative no the less and should be viewed by all, even the kids. So huddle up and pop in this disc, because it just might become a family favorite.

Summary: Galaxy Quest- A Great Movie
Review: Galaxy Quest is a great movie it is funny, interasting, and funny. And it is not anything like Star Trak. It is about a group of Actors who act in a tv show called Galaxy Quest and they are having a reunion thing years later. Then a group of aliens come and ask for their help and they help. They have problems fighting off this Suris(that's not how you spell it). Will they deffet him? What will happen? Rent or Buy the Movie. Have fun watching. Anna Jane Miller

Summary: Funny, But...
Review: When I saw the preveiws for this movie I thought, "Gee, Tim Allen and Sigourney Weaver must be really desperate.". But when I saw it on video, I actually kind of enjoyed it. It was very funny, but there was not sufficient plot development. There were also a few characters the movie could have done without. If you like Tim Allen and Sigourney Weaver's work, this is a good movie for you. However, it was a tad cheesy with little plot growth.

Summary: It's hard not to like it!
Review: Everybody must have realized it! It is a "Star Trek" parody gone out of control! You know the story from the numerous reviews here at Amazon: 1- Actors from a cancelled show are reduced to doing conventions and ceremonies; 2- Aliens, thinking everything on TV is real, "beams" the actors on a REAL starship to help them save the world; 3- The actors, caught off guard (and without a script or stunt double to back them up) must save the world. Brilliant! Why did nobody think of this before? This movie appeals to those who can relate to the Star Trek experience, as well as to those who believe all the people who dresses up in alien costumes are whacked! Since there were numerous reviews about the movie (most of them positive), I'll concentrate on the DVD version. DreamWorks really knows how to do DVDs. Grab a copy of "The Prince of Egypt" for an example. In "Galaxy Quest", the extras that I have noticed and liked: -the "Making of" short documentary, well made, interesting facts about the movie; -lost clips (Really, some of them were touched up! The clips were edited before post-production actually began, but the director liked them so much that FULL FX were added to them! You got to admire that! The only weak clip where the effects were obviously not on par was an edited clip of the rock monster battle, but it is still entertaining.); -The ENTIRE movie dubbed in ALIEN LANGUAGE audio track! Interesting, but it does get annoying. Recommend watching it with English subtitles if that's you stuff; -Three other movie trailers (Chicken Run, Road Trip, El Dorado). The presentation is great as well. Most studios don't seem to put much effort in the visual menus, but DreamWorks matched an excellent interface with an excellent movie. This DVD movie is highly recommended. I urge you to buy it, even if you already have the VHS version... ...of course you should have a DVD player first...

Summary: I'm shocked, I actually liked it
Review: Honestly I hate Star Trek (my dad's a big fan). I thought I was going to hate this movie with a purple passion, but when my brother ordered it on pay-per view I was surprised. I actually liked it! It tells the story about actor's from a popular old TV show. None of the cast is happy about the Captin's ability to steal the spotlight... every time! And when there TV show life, turns into a reality there put up against a great challenge. Can they work together to save a dying race? If found this movie to be very funny. Tim Allen once again delivers a great performence. If you like Star Trek or not watch this one!

Summary: Why did I like this movie in the theater?
Review: I saw this movie in the theater and loved it, but when I rented the DVD to show my uninterested family I found it uninteresting myself. I wonder what happened. One time I see it, I love it, the second time I'm board and want to go play video games. Odd, must be a one timer.
