Summary: By Grapthar's Hammer, You Shall Be....LAUGHING!
Review: I am really glad that this film is getting such good reviews...and with good reason, too! This film is one of the funniest movies out there! Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, and all the others give top performances in "GalaxyQuest".

This film answers that age-old question: "What would happen if science fiction actors got beamed aboard a spaceship and forced to do battle with evil alien generals?" Not only does this film deliever awesome special effects, but the dialouge will have you rolling on the floor laughing like crazy!

The only thing I would like to warn you about is that this film is not suitable for anyone under the age of 10 due to language and some slight sexual content (nothing too serious). That's about it. (Besides, they wouldn't get it anyway.)

Bottom line is if you like science fiction movies and comedy films (like me), GET THIS MOVIE!

Oh, and watch out for the Chompers!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: very entertaining
Review: Galaxy Quest is a good movie. It manages to parody Star Trek and science fiction fans and be an exciting adventure story at the same time. The convention scenes are truly funny. Unfortunately, while I like Tim Allen, he gets upstaged more often than not. Sigourney Weaver is great, playing her part perfectly. She also has some of the best lines in the movie.

The quality of the DVD is great. The special features are good, except the the 'sneak preview' which is an advertisement for some recent theatrical releases.

A movie worth seeing.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Cheeseball film unless you have kids
Review: I can see this being an entertaining film if you have little toddlings. Otherwise, this was a rediculous film in which you have to have a low IQ to enjoy. The intro was funny when they made fun of Star Trek conventions, and then it just got worse and worse. Thumbs way down, down, down, down.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I guess I'm missing something
Review: This movie was one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my life. I would rather watch (Who wants to be a millionaire). I can't believe all the reviews, saying this is a great movie; one to be remembered; one to be cherished by future generations) LOL!.. Are you joking or what? lolol!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the better "Star Trek" parodies I've seen
Review: I loved how it poked fun at all the quirks of "Star Trek" and its fans. The actors can never escape their roles, the fans don't want to accept the fictionality, and merging it all with "The Three Amigos" really made it worthwhile. It's good for die-hard Trekkers and anti-Trekkers alike.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: hilariously funny movie
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed Galzxy Quest! I thought the casting was perfect! I loved Sigourney Weaver, I didn't know she could do comedy. Alan Rickman's performance was also wonderful considering he doesn't normally do comedies. I think the story was original and very well written. I recomend this movie to everyone. It has it all; action, suspense, great special effects and lots of laughs.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Grows on you........
Review: When I saw Galaxy Quest I was disappointed. Totally. But I hear everyone talking about it and how funny it is and then I start to like it each minute I think about the movie. It really is pretty cool.

A bunch of aliens come to America to collect three actors from a sci-fi adventure TV program to help them fight this plant-lookalike guy called Cirius. They accept, but they don't know what the future is going to be like.

At the end of this movie I couldn't stop laughing and I was still laughing on my way home! I was laughing so much my sides hurt! See it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What a wild ride!
Review: I deliberately skipped this movie when it was in the theatre because it looked like a lame parody on _Star Trek_. Now if anything deserves to be parodied it's _Star Trek_, but there is nothing worse than a bad parody. So when I got this DVD, I didn't exactly have high expectations. Boy was I in for the Surprise of my life.

Galaxy Quest turned out to be an excellent movie that also was an excellent parody of _Star Trek_.

Tim Allen does a wonderful job, but it is his crew that steals the show.

The DVD itself is funny and has some good stuff on it.

All in all a movie that can be highly reccommended.

"Never Give Up. Never Surrender"

Summary: Never give up; never stop laughing!
Review: I saw GALAXY QUEST in company with about 20 other writers and editors of STAR TREK novels, scripts, and CDs: we didn't quite scare the projectionist with our shrieks of laughter at the star's Kirk imitation as he sat in the center seat, the reference to the Klaatu Nebula, the Romulan ale on the dinner table, the Gorn, and Alan Rickman's sardonic comment that he sees that Allen as the Jim Kirk wannabe, managed to get his shirt off, and many others.

The action is as nonstop as the humor, and the special effects, while stunning, do not get in the way of story, action, and the spirit of what is really a very sweet-natured film.

From the first pullback shot of the Questarians on convention (I've spoken at SF conventions and STAR TREK conventions, so I can attest to the "reality" of the scene) to the way that the fans band together and, essentially, save the day, to the look of utter joy on the kids' faces as they guide the wandering starship home, this is a film that makes gentle fun of the people who will understand it best, but that laughs along with them, and leaves them, not just laughing, but the ultimate winners.

Even the biggest cynics, like Rickman's irascible actor with his five curtain calls playing RICHARD III, get beyond their disillusionment thanks to the faith, trust, and technical skill of the Thermians, while Tim Allen's confession that he "lied" marks the beginning of a rebirth of his spirit -- and Mathesar's evolution into his own command abilities. And Sigourney Weaver and her Wonderbra chronicle how a "dumb blonde" develops courage, love, and self-respect.

A wonderful film. You don't need to know STAR TREK to love it -- but it's more fun if you do. Pass the popcorn.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great!
Review: With all the Christmas time movies which came out with Galaxy Quest, we almost over looked it. Good thing we didn't. The first time I saw it I couldn't stop laughing from a little ways in on! With the childish humor of Larado(sp?) to the quick wit of Doctor Lazarus, this movie delivers it all. The movie is such a spoof of Star Tre!. From the conventions with people dressed like the characters right down the the blue drink(Romulin Ale in Star Trek) Star Trek is written all over it. When a bunch of has-been actors/actress are contacted by real aliens they don't know what they're getting in to. They end up in space fight bad guys, steering through astroid fields, and stoping the distruction sequence. We eventually saw this three times in the theater and now own it on video. There is only one place the Lord's name is taken and through the rest of the movie there is only moderate bad language. The only really objctionalble thing is at the end Lt. Madison's suit gets torn at the top exposing her bra. This is mild and is only that way for 5 minutes. Other than that, a definite buy!
