Summary: that was GREAT!
Review: I LOVED the humor, but as it went on, I saw a REAL PLOTLINE developing! All of the cast actually WORKED on doing their charecters. And when 'Taggart' has to explian to Mathazarr the truth, I had tears in my eyes. (but, back to the humor part.) Oh, and "It's the simple things in life you treasure." was GREAT! I would recomend it to anyone!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent DVD package - SPOLER ALERT
Review: There are two aspects of the DVD package which bear special mention. First is the Omega 13 option on the Special Features menu. The second is an alternate ssoundtrack which iss magnificent in its lunacy. I don't want to spoil it completely, but suffice it to say that you will not believe your ears.

As for the film itself, it's better than any Star Trek movie since The Voyage Home. My parents, who never saw a Star Trek episoide in their lives, and my son who has seen every one, enjoyed it equally. It is wry, affectionate, funny and exciting, and good clean family fun.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great movie!
Review: Wow! A FUNNY comedy you can take your kids to! Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, and Alan Rickman star in this "Star Trek" spoof. The cast plays the cast of the now defunct, but cult-status TV series "Galaxy Quest" and every one but Allen is totally sick of the whole deal, the conventions the grand openings, the fans, the whole nine yards. But then real aliens, thinking the show shows actual history, gets the cast to help in a real deep space war. Allen is hilarious, Rickman does his usual excellent job, (he is perfect as the "I'm too good for this crap" Spock-like character)and Weaver goes against her usual type playing a sex-pot blonde, doing the exceptional acting job she always does while reminding us, (at least the male viewers :-) ) that Weaver is VERY defintly female. There is no smut, nothing a parent would find objectionable, (the movie is rated PG) and I would highly recommend this one to anyone.....

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Incredible visual effects, great movie overall
Review: This movie is one of the most visual-effect spackled films since Star Wars-Episode 1. And that is pretty darn impressive. And the movie is great, Tim Allen really shines in this movie, and Daryl Mitchell and Sigourney Weaver are excellent counterparts. And this movie is....sort of funny...but it doesn't really live up to its comedy genre. If you want lots of laughs, this isn't quite the movie for you. But the DVD is excellent, it has fully interactive menus and two comedic features: 1. It has a Thermian language track (good for a laugh, but not if you don't want to hear everyone screeching) and 2. On the main menu, there is an "Omega 13" feature (as you know, the Omega 13 is a back-in-time-a-few-seconds-ago feature used in the movie), which is quite smart, because it can tell weather you've seen the ending or not, because if you activate it before then, it says on the screen: "Access Denied. You don't want to spoil the ending, do you?". And once you do see the ending, and try the Omega 13 feature again, it rewinds past the beginning clip of the menu, and the menu activates again. Funny!

So in short, if you want to see a dazzling movie, see Galaxy Quest. But if Comedy's your priority, don't. And if you love a well-designed DVD, get Galaxy Quest on DVD.

Summary: Nicely goofy
Review: A cute takeoff on the whole "Star Trek" fan phenomenon, "Galaxy Quest" is a movie I can genuinely describe as a hoot--not a roll-on-the-floor, laughing-till-you-cry movie, but one that elicits a good chuckle on a pretty frequent basis. Tim Allen's dead-on William Shatner imitation ("Never give up! Never surrender!"), Sigourney Weaver's surprisingly effective Wonderbra-sporting lieutenant, the always great Alan Rickman doing that patented exasperated eye roll as the Spock clone, and scene-stealer Tony Shalhoub (you might remember him as Antonio on "Wings") as the laid-back tech sergeant are all in fine form and obviously having fun. It's not "American Beauty" (or even a "Star Trek" movie that takes itself too seriously), but it is a fun movie to watch. Get out the popcorn and Haagen-Dazs and let the good times roll!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the Funniest Movies I have ever seen
Review: This movie was great at making fun of Star Trek fans all through-out the story. But that wasn't all. The inside-out-exploding pig thing was hilarious and the characters were all a riot. The alien people who needed help were really funny too. This had some seriousness in it but it was mostly a great comedy movie and (as said above) it makes fun of Star Trek fans in such a great way!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Galaxy Quest
Review: This particular movie was entertaining. Not only was there quite a bit of comedy it had great sense loyalty and friendship all throught it. When the movie first started there was a lot of anger amd tension in the crew of Galaxy Quest. The commander and crew were feeling like their lives were a huge washout. But after they were recruited to help "real aliens" they relized that they were more than just a bunch of insignificant small humans. They were closer to the characters that they played on television than they thought. The sound quaility of this movie I rate a 3 in 5.1 surround sound. Overall a good movie!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great fun for those who attend sci-fi conventions!
Review: As a fan of the original "Star Trek" and a person who has attended more than one science fiction convention, I found this movie to be great fun. It's all there! The bad acting, the bad special effects, the slowly more revealing costumes, the captain loses his shirt. . .I could go on and on. And the convention scenes! I know people like these! I've seen them. Don't know any way this movie could have been better. Fantastic job!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The galaxy¿s first Thermian-dubbed DVD!
Review: [This review is for the DVD version] I'll agree with and double every praise other reviewers have given this movie--a fun and funny family movie with great special effects, wonderfully acted (sometimes hilariously hammy acting!), with a double appeal not only to people who like fantasy adventure but also to the huge "Star Trek" fandom who'll see the only-slightly distorted versions of Shatner, Nimoy, Nicholls, Doohan etc., in an adventure we only *wish* they could have had! But I also have to give much praise and thanks to the developers and designers of the DVD version of this film for its incredibly fun extras: a healthy selection of deleted scenes, a silly but fun "Omega 13" menu option, but best of all, once you've watched the whole film in English, you can go back, choose the language option, and watch the entire movie dubbed in Thermian...the movie's fictional alien language that sounds like something between a whale call and Andy Kaufman. Pointless? Maybe. Fun? Absolutely! For this goofy option alone this deserves to get an award for innovative DVD of the year...and shows that deep down, the moviemakers had a heckauva lot of fun creating this movie and DVD...almost as much as we do watching it over and over again.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great
