Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Laughs, not ratings.
Review: I saw this one in the theatre. Split my sides laughing. Bought the DVD. Split my sides laughing. It now joines my very small, and very selective collection (which includes, among others, "Office Space," "The Matrix," "Election," and "Drop Dead Gorgeous").

This is one to buy.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: BLAND AND UNINSPIRED!
Review: Don't believe the hype! This film would barely cut it as a made-for-tv movie. The story is obvious and boring. The characters are unimaginative and dull. Tim Allen is a little too self-satisfied with his phoned-in performance. Making fun of Trekies is like shooting fish in a barrel.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awsome comedy, for fans of Space fliks, and everyone else
Review: This film shows the world of Sci-fi as it really is, a hokey slapstick universe of make believe, that we, well ok, some of us, buy into on a weekly basis and love. Its funny, its exciting... be prepared...

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Alot of running around that didn't make sense
Review: I was disappointed in this film because I have been a fan of Star Trek for many years. There were a few moments that were humorous, but I kept waiting for the film to go somewhere. Maybe my sense of humor is delegated to films such as "Hot Shots", "Naked Gun", "Airplane", etc. If it relied more on Star Trek where you could identify the characters or situations, it might have been funnier. It just seemed that there were alot of scenes where the actors were running around with nowhere to go.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Buying the Neighbor's Kid
Review: Have you ever had to watch your neighbors' kid because they had no other options? Because you were the last resort? My wife dragged me to this movie--I'm not much of a sci-fi or Tim Allen fan--and I consented because no one else would go with her. Yes, I was her last resort. So there I was watching Tim Allen, Alan Rickman, and Sigourney Weaver ham it up as TV star has-beens, imprisoned by their past glory and looking for the chance to truly shine, and...I found myself liking them. I found myself chuckling, then out-loud laughing. Rickman's dry personality, in particular, had me in stitches. From the outset, I knew this would be corny--and it was, intentionally so. In the process of laughing at the rabid sci-fi fans portrayed in the film, I found myself becoming one. "Galaxy Quest" dabbled into the action and comedy genres without losing its sci-fi touch. It never strayed too far from its light-heartedness, and I walked out of the theater thinking we just might have to buy "the neighbor's kid" on video.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Title
Review: The film has some nice moments, mostly courtesy of Alan Rickman. Perhaps the nicest touch is that they used the voice of Joe Frank, of LA underground radio fame, as the voice of the computer. This is an amiable, periodically amusing feel-good film that will appeal to people who really like films like Howard Stern's "Private Parts" -- films that are more palliative than outright hilarious.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Putting Tim Allen In A Movie Is A Lot Like Multiplying Zeros
Review: A good plot, a plausible storyline, and a good solid cast of characters are just a few of the many things that make a good movie. This movie had none of those. There is only one thing I hate more than this movie--that guy who scoops ice cream at Thrifty who told me I had to wait my turn to be served. Tim Allen is about as entertaining as a bucket of chum, so unless you are a whale I would not watch this lame movie. I did not have toast this morning.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Galaxy Quest - Out Of This World!
Review: This is an amazing film, I saw the trailer and I was intrigued, so I saw it... twice! It's one of those films that you can watch over and over and never get tired of it. The whole cast is brilliant, the comedy is provided down to a tee and not over done like the Star Wars spoof 'Spaceballs'. This is a film that deserves credit in it's own right, not just a 'Star Trek spoof' cos it really isn't, not completley spoofed anyway, just the format. The soundtrack is also excellent and you'll be smiling by the end of the film, I guarantee it! "By Grabthar's Hammer...!"

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A VERY FUNNY, CLEAN MOVIE
Review: This is one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time and the best part is, it doesn't rely on sex jokes, the f-word, violence or crude language to be funny. If you are an SF fan, especially if you've been to a con, you'll probably laugh more but I would recommend this movie to anyone, it's just plain fun.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Perfect Comedy: funny, inspiring
Review: Galaxy Quest is a parody that goes beyond poking fun and making its audience laugh (which it does beautifully). This is also a movie about a man who doesn't take himself very seriously. He has become so absorbed in the fame of his old television role that he's a real nowhere man, but he develops sincere love and loyalty for the aliens who have called him into service and becomes a true leader in a crisis. I will watch this movie often because it explores the way in which courage and goodness are basic and essential human qualities. They exist within us, even when hidden behind laziness and being inauthentic.These characters find courage, a courage that grows our of their desire to rescue their beloved alien friends from danger. One can enjoy this movie as a spoof. But it also invites one to be inspired by the transformation its characters experience in the heat of battle and in protecting justice.
