Summary: Funny but not insulting
Review: For all of us die hard Trek fans, sometimes it's difficult to see all the 'spoofs' out there about Star Trek. Most of them go too far into the ridiculous, and they insult the fans. But not Galaxy Quest!Galaxy Quest has just the right amount of 'poking fun' to be absolutely hilarious and a fun show to watch overall. You as a Trek fan, (or other sci fi fan) will enjoy the show and not feel embarrassed or insulted for being a fan of old Trek. The show plays on those known behind the scenes problems that happened between actors on the show... The elevated ego of our favorite captain, etc. But again, doesn't get vulgar or rude. Pick this one up, buy it, you'll love it. If you're a Trek fan, you'll be laughing out loud. Who cares if people give you funny looks, now you can watch it in your home! ;)

Summary: It's NOT BAD, but it's NOT STELLAR either!
Review: I don't deny the fact that the entire concept of the movie is like nothing we have ever seen or heard of before. Since there is a staggering amount of Star Trek fanatics who actually DO go to many conventions dressed up as their favourite characters and sometimes even live their lives by the words dreamed up by Gene Roddenberry et al, the premise of this movie doesn't really go that far off the mark. Can you imagine what William Shatner would be like if it were to have happened to him? Leonard Nimoy would probably be calling for his mommy. Frankly, you could have a field day poking as much fun as you like here. As far as the movie goes, it moves along very well. It's well written, the special effects are quite nice, and it's overall quite fantastic and believable. I particularily liked the fact that the 'aliens' were not actually humanoid form (as almost all of them are in almost every Star Trek episode) but rather had 'image projectors' or something of the sort. It was smart, I must admit. 'Smart' it probably a good to describe this movie. It does a wonderful job at finding humor in television series, and if you look closely, there are little nuances which when you pick out, make you think to yourself 'wow...they've done their homework...look how that alien is walking'. The movie's wit, however is something more akin to 'simple'. I am not saying that simplicity is bad, but with some of the reviews that I was reading about this movie, people were making this flick out to be something absolutely out of this world (pun intended). I am thinking that most of those five-star ratings must have been written by many Star Trek fans who just could not stop laughing at themselves and their manias. Overall, this movie is WELL done, and I don't want to deter anyone from either renting or buying it. Yet, I find that it didn't have me losing control of my bodily functions due to laugher (e.g.: Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The Party, Austin Powers 1 -- even though it is extremely silly). I recommend this movie to anyone who is interested in a good chuckle, but if you are the type of person who would rather spend time watching witty, clever and more intricate humour, then don't expect to be rolling on the floor laughing to the point where you have to rewind the tape. By all means, you WILL be entertained. I was laughing with this movie, but I think that the majority of people who rated it hyped it up too much for me.

Summary: Galaxy Quest DVD
Review: This is a lovely little bit of fluff that spoofs the sci-fi genre in general, and Star Trek specifically. If you've never watched Star Trek or any of the Star Trek Movies, you'll find it moderately amusing but you'll be missing a tremendous amount of the humor. If you watched the old Star Trek show and/or any of the movies, you'll find if pretty funny. You'll get some of the jokes, and recognize a few of the characters. If you've ever gone to a Star Trek convention, you'll get most of the jokes, recognize almost all of the characters, and probably fall off the sofa laughing. The one complaint I have with the DVD is that the "mocumentery" that they created for the Sci-Fi Channel isn't on there. I was looking forward to seeing it. They do have a little button entitled "Omega 13" that you can't activate until you've watched the movie - very cute.

Summary: The Best Trek Movie ever made...
Review: Galaxy Quest is every thing the Trek movies should have been, but with notable exceptions(2 and 4) weren't. There is a sense of the possible in this film that makes you want to believe that this is "our" universe and that something truely wonderful has happened. The cast does a fine job both as their "off-camera" personas and as their show roles. The effects by Stan Winston make you realize, just how cheap Paramount has been with the FX budget for the "real" Trek films. And the story allows the Characters to actually accomplish something, to acheive rather than hypothesize and whine for two hours. I just wish the GQ TV series was still in reruns...

Summary: Are they miners or minors
Review: This DVD was so funny. I never saw this movie in the theater and I was skeptical as to whether or not it would be any good. My friend bought the DVD and we watched it and I must say, it was very much worth the money my friend spent on it. That is why I gave this movie 5 stars. Remember to check out Omega 13 after watching the movie.

Summary: Gleeful and on-the-mark
Review: Gleefully precise satire not just of "Star Trek" but of the cultishness that surrounds the show. The aging cast of a "Trek"-like show are kidnapped by aliens who mistake them for the real McCoy (pun intended). Lively performances all around, especially Sigourney Weaver's, who just gets better with age. Tim Allen has great fun mocking Shatner's egomania without being over-the-top about it. Just plain fun, and even non-"Trek" fans will enjoy it. Pair this up with "Spaceballs" for a cute double-feature.

Summary: Great movie for the whole family!
Review: Space the final frontier has another conqueror! The Crew of the Protector. Galaxy Quest, a weekly series on TV (although only make believe to humans)is transmitted to outer space,then becomes the "historical documents" the alien Thermians rebuild their lives upon. The Thermains don't understand make believe or TV but they believe with child like belief in the "historical documents". Their beliefs lead the Thermains to come to earth for the Captian of the Protector to save them from evil reptiles. The crew is beamed into Space aboard the Protector. Tim Allen grows into his role as the Captain and challenges the evil reptiles. Sigourney Weaver does a great job becoming a character so unexpected from her normal violent characters. Having grown up in space this movie became a favorite. I really enjoyed watching it. The ending is fabulous. Watch to find out!

Summary: 'Galaxy Quest' on DVD - Boldly Going, But Not Quite There...
Review: Don't get me wrong, I loved Galaxy Quest. It's one of the first movies that I own on VHS and DVD both (the only other two being 'The Last Starfighter' and 'The Iron Giant'). However, the DVD, while actually very well done, just seems to be missing something. The missing scenes included in the film are fine, but there were scenes in the film's original previews that are oddly missing, and a lack of a director's track on this DVD is something I find detracts from the overall quality. It feels like somebody spent a lot of effort, but forgot a few key things.Is it worth your money? Oh, absolutely! It has all the things that made the film so watchable and entertaining, and the 'Thermian Language' Dolby track is inspired (though it does get old quickly.) Some of the animations and linking sequences in the DVD menu are quite entertaining and clever, but I find myself wishing there was a 'Collector's Edition' of this film for nutso completionist fans like myself.Until then, though, this DVD will do just fine.Questarians unite! The 'Quest' continues!- T

Summary: One class film
Review: This film has just come out here in the UK and I went to see it at the cinema. Pure class. It is so funny, and all the mickey takes on star trek are incredible. Best bit of the movie (or should that be bits, lots of em) is when an alien explodes, but I'll leave that for you to see more.
