Summary: Galaxy Quest: What the Movie Is All About
Review: Galaxy Quest is a funny movie that kids over the age of 5 will enjoy. It stars Tim Allen as an actor named Jason who stars as Captain Peter Quincy Taggart on a show called Galaxy Quest. But when aliens from another planet think that the show is real, they call on Jason and his 'crew' (Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Tony Shalhoub, Sam Rockwell, Daryl Mitchell)for help on defeating the evil Sarris (Robin Sachs).This movie has very funny characters including Mathesar (Enrico Colantoni), the leader of the aliens, Lalari (Missi Pyle from Josie & the Pussycats), Fred (Tony Shalhoub)'s alien girlfriend and Quellek (Patrick Breen), Alexander (Alan Rickman)'s biggest alien fan. This is a great movie and one of Tim Allen's best.

Summary: Hilarious Star Trek Spoof
Review: Galaxy Quest was a very popular TV show from the late 70's, but the actors have not been able to move on with their careers and live on personal appearances. One day, they unknowingly agree to make an appearance for real aliens, the Thermians, and find themselves in space with a race that believe the shows were real. Now, they must learn to deal with each other and technology they made up to stay alive and save the Thermians from the evil Sarris who wants to destroy them all. This movie is a must for Star Trek fans, but non-Trekkies will enjoy the humor as well. It manages to make fun of every aspect of the series, including the fans, while still using these elements to further the story. The cast gives a wonderful performance as actors out of their element trying not to give away who they really are to the aliens they have befriended. I find myself laughing all the way through this movie every time I watch it. And the deleted scenes on the DVD are as funny as anything in the movie. This is a pleasant comedy that should appeal to all ages. Pick up a copy and enjoy a relaxing evening is space.

Summary: This is actually very funny
Review: Tim Allen usually makes me cringe, but this movie had me laughing the entire time. An intelligent satire, with just enough base humor to keep the movie's appeal for those who did not grow up with Star Trek. I did, and so found the movie doubly entertaining.

Summary: Mind-boggling.
Review: I didn't really 'get' 'Galaxy Quest' because I've never seen 'Star Trek', and have no desire to (although my wife's a fan, and she didn't think this was very funny). I'm not too enamoured of the actors involved either, although Sam Rockwell is splendid as the Everyman guiding us through the tricky switches between 'fantasy' and 'reality'. But 'Quest' is available to more than just Trekkies or Tim Allen admirers. The (presumably) intentionally tacky set-designs yield some real flourishes (the berillium (sic?) island; the nightmarish climax). Best of all for those who felt cheated by the 'Borges' comparisons thrown at 'Being John Malkovich', is a truly vertiginous conflation of time, narrative and identity, so that by the end, yuo're about as close to the Garden of Forking Paths as you'll ever be in Hollywood.

Summary: Never give up! Never surrender!
Review: This movie is one of my favorites, it's one the whole family watches on an easy summer afternoon. It gives you that nice feeling when you've laughed alot. When we watch it, the next morning we'll wake up with the phrase,"NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER SURRENDER!" so, get this movie A.S.A.P!! you won't regret it.

Summary: THOUGHTFULLY CRAFTED SATIRE
Review: As much a send-up of fan-hood as sci-fi tv, this clever adventure has something to offer everyone. Star Trek fans will see the jokes coming minutes in advance...but that's why we're so cool. The alien race called Thermians present themselves as Pee-Wee's Playhouse rejects, as they grovel and beg for assistance in fending off a deadly enemy. Unaware the mercenaries they have drafted are actually typecast actors who now make a buck as celebrity Mall grand-openers, they take great pride in having secured what they believe are the bravest warriors in the galaxy. The amotivational "rock monster" is a highlight, and is strikingly reminscent of many Star Trek TOS episodes. Very easy to swallow; and Sigourney, as Gwen, as Madison, makes quite the ravishing blonde. Heart-warming finale leaves one wishing for a sequel.

Summary: Great Movie -- Poor Quality DVD
Review: I have always been a Sci-Fi fan. Even the poorly written Sci-Fi flicks with their backyard quality special effects captured my heart as a child. I remember when this movie was in the theaters, unfortunately, I saw a distributor preview and thought "Great, they have ruined another movie experience by showing too much..." A friend said you have to see it! I must say that my experience with the preview left such a bad impression with me that I just recently decided to view it, thinking it was going to be a visit to the dentist. To my surprise and great pleasure it was and is very enjoyable. If you are a Star Trek or Sci-Fi fan in general you will enjoy this movie. Most films today are poorly written and use special effects as the only driving force behind the film (i.e., Star Wars, Episode I) and therefore have a once only viewable rating. Galaxy Quest is not one of these movies. I am sure you will enjoy viewing it over the years. I added this excellent film to my large DVD collection last week. Relative to all the DVDs I have viewed; this is, without question, the poorest quality mastering you most likely see in a DVD by a major distributor. If you never play your DVDs on your computer or you don't have a large TV you will most likely never notice any problems. However, if you play this DVD (DTS version) on your computer you will immediately notice on a high resolution monitor the inappropriate high level of compression used. What is interesting is that if you view Gladiator, also from DreamWorks, you will not encounter the 'pixel blocks' or sound sync (sometimes) problems encountered on the Galaxy Quest DTS product. After a careful study of the 'quality' issues and comparing to various sized TV formats, using different DVD players, and viewing another DTS version relative to the non-DTS product, it appears that it the problem is only on the DTS version of Galaxy Quest. If you own a DSS and are satisfied with the frequency of 'macro block' pixels then the DTS product will not be a problem for you, otherwise, buyer beware.

Summary: Mistake in DVD info
Review: Ignore the advertising which claims that the DTS version of the DVD has the Galaxy Quest television series "Mockumentary". It does not. Amazon has been informed of this, but has neglected to update the catalog. It was supposed to have been included on the DTS release; but apparently the studio has decided not to include it, and failed to update their release information to reflect the change. If you don't have DTS audio capability, buy the standard version, because they have the exact same features aside from the DTS audio.

Summary: Awsome Sci Fi
Review: This is one of those " I can really get into this movie" flicks. Anyone who grew up with Star Trek can really get themselves into this movie's plot. Tim Allen Dick is totally awsome as the "Captain Kirk" character. And TSGT CHEN kicks butt. Buy the DVD and see the extra material. Awsome !!
