The best thing about this movie is that it hilariously manages to spoof Star Trek while still being completely respectful to both the genre and it's fans.
Its one of those spoofs that celebrate rather than mocks. Well done.
And It is a totally awesome science fiction movie in its own right...@arandomnamegoeshere
It's like when you and your siblings spoof your parents. It's particularly funny because you know the source, and you love it.
It’s a parody that does a neat trick: it gets us emotionally involved with the characters and the plot.
@@Mcvthree3 The 3 best Star Trek movies are Wrath of Khan, First Contact, and Galaxy Quest.
My mother and I both still quote "IS THERE AIR?!" to this day. As well as "And it exploded"
Famously, Patrick Stewart didn't want to watch it because he thought it was making fun of Star Trek.
Johnathon Frakes (Riker) convinced him to see it in a packed theater, and he absolutely adored it; particularly the way they made the fans of the show heroes in their own right
Also I guess the bathroom scene where he hears people making fun of them and he never realized a lot of people look down on it that way actually happened to William Shatner at an early convention.
I love that story.
It is so funny because I knew Patrick Stewart from Excalibur and Lady Jane when Next Generation came on. He wasn't sold on doing Star Trek and now he gets it. It is so funny to hear how many of the post original Star Trek cast had no clue and then got it with the fans.
@@manueldeabreu1980Ive heard the guy that plays Q. Apparently hes kind of a shitheel about the fans.
He may have seen "Fanboys first", a much worse parallel for Star Wars with a literal virginshaming scene
By Grabthar's Hammer...what a reaction...
Alan Rickman's disfainful lip curl hesitation, saying: "By Grabthar's Hammer... What a savings" is one of my favorite character building moments in cinema.
The comedic timing of his delivery is perfection! lol
You could feel his pain, literally 😂😂
.... and then he moves you to tears with the same line... great actor with an absolutely stunning voice....
It's the look of a man who is truly desolate, hopeless, and at the end of his rope. Alan Rickman captured it completely.
Of course it’s perfection, he’s British!
Comedy gold
"Guy Fleegman" is a shoutout to Guy Vardaman, a long time stand-in and extra on ST:TNG. Vardaman didn't know anthing about it until he saw the movie in a theater, and he said he nearly fell out of his seat.
Patrick Stewart on Galaxy Quest: "I had originally not wanted to see [Galaxy Quest] because I heard that it was making fun of Star Trek and then Jonathan Frakes rang me up and said ‘You must not miss this movie! See it on a Saturday night in a full theatre.’ And I did and of course I found it was brilliant. Brilliant. No one laughed louder or longer in the cinema than I did, but the idea that the ship was saved and all of our heroes in that movie were saved simply by the fact that there were fans who did understand the scientific principles on which the ship worked was absolutely wonderful. And it was both funny and also touching in that it paid tribute to the dedication of these fans."
Let's get out of here before one of those things kills Guy.
In the original series, an episode had Kirk trapped on a planet battling a reptilian creature while his crew helplessly watched from orbit. Kirk is able to collect different elements (sulfur, carbon, etc.) and is able to defeat the reptilian by building a cannon. Guy asking "Can you fashion some sort of rudimentary lathe?" is a nod to that.
Thanks. Now I don't have to comment about it!
The episode title was "Arena."
I got two huge laughs out that joke. The first was from the joke itself.
The second was me laughing at myself because I’m enough of a Star Trek nerd to know such an obscure reference in the first place!
😂😂😂
Exactly!!!
I was looking for this post so I wasn’t just repeating it. And you explained it better than I would have.👍
"By Grabthar's Hammer, by the Suns Of Warvan , you shall be avenged."
The way Alan Rickman delivers that line, with such sincere and sombre conviction, gets me every single time. ❤
This is one of those very rare, perfect movies.
For me it isn't the line, but the fact that he says a line he hates, to comfort a dying friend. Repetition means the line means little to him, but everything to the person hearing it - it's a very touching moment for a cynical actor (not Rickman, the character he plays).
The person that looked up to him most died happy because of him. Lovely...
@@theaikidoka Definitely, it wouldn't have been nearly as moving if they hadn't built up how MUCH he hated it beforehand, so that when he says it THAT time, it instills it with a fresh sense of meaning.
There's a really funny meme that goes, "Intelligence is knowing Galaxy Quest isn't a Star Trek movie; Wisdom is knowing it's the best Star Trek movie."
One the best Star Trek movie, and it’s not even a Star Trek movie.
It’s not a spoof, it’s a love letter
And a strong base foundation for "The Orville" when you think about it...
It's both a spoof and a love letter. 🥰
The show the Orville is the closest thing to galaxy quest tv series.
You guys would love it.
I've always loved the dual message "don't meet your heroes" and "don't disappoint your fans"
"a chillingly realistic documentary" - George Takei
When Guy suggested "Can you make some sort of rudimentary lathe?" -- that was a callback to Kirk making a primitive cannon when fighting the Gorn in "Arena" (TOS).
And Guy, as "Crewman #6," was every redshirt who died on the original series.
I will always maintain that Galaxy Quest is the quintessential nerd movie that's a must watch.
Watch FIREFLY series (only 14 episodes)! The dialog is SO good!
Not just the dialogue. The world-building, the characters, the smooth interaction between the actors, pretty good SFX, but not good enough for the succeeding Fox TV executives. So: Every time a TH-cam viewer falls in love with "Firefly," a Fox TV executive falls off the Nakatomi Plaza building.;)
I love love love Star Trek, so naturally I love Galaxy Quest.
This movie is unironically considered by many sources to be the best Star Trek Movie
William Shatners' Kirk was seen lots of times without his shirt. Or with his shirt ripped.
and often did over the top dives and flips, and drop kicks etc.... which is alluded to with Nesbitt's doing the dive rolls.
Tony Shalhoub playing "Fred " is supposed to be stoned throughout the film.
Yep, that's why you always see him with snacks.
They decided to cut that detail out to make it PG-13 as well as the F word by Sigourney
The paper bag has his snacks. He was at the vending machines just before they were beamed up.
And after he was "beemed" up, there is a small puff of smoke...
Great reaction video. First time watching your channel. Definitely subscribing. And for the record.....
Galaxy Quest is THE best Star Trek movie.
Sir Patrick Stewart acknowledges this film as a beautiful homage to Star Trek.
One of my all-time favorites! 😄👍
Tony shaloub is the funniest
Brilliant Enrico Colantoni (Mathesar) first did his audition for his role with a normal voice and normal body language, and made a great impression on the filmmakers, but then he asked could do it again trying something different he had come up with. This time he used the odd intonation we hear the Thermians use in the movie (he based this on a voice warm up exercise from his stage training) and their strange, "unfamiliar with using a human form," way of moving. He totally blew them away and was put in charge of teaching the other actors how to act like Thermians.
Colantoni is a standout as far as I'm concerned, he crushes it every time I see him on screen. His other standouts to me are Keith Mars (Veronica Mars) and Elias in POI.
And that's saying something because as they said, the rest of the cast is already amazing. I love Shaloub's most-definitely high engineer, and Weaver's portrayal of the "eye candy" on the show; but dammit, she's gonna do it right!
@@charleshartley9597 I was elated to see Colantoni in "Deadpool". He nailed his role in that one, too.
One of the best, with humor, action, suspense, and romance all wrapped up in a loving tribute. Fun watching it with you!
15:43 what’s amazing is how they built everything in the tv show to actually work. Something someone dreamed up works in real life. It would’ve been cool to see one of the writers join them and see all this come to life.
35:19 For him it was like if one of his devoted fans were dying in his arms. Just to hear him utter that line means something to those fans. Even though he couldn't stand saying it all the time and resenting it, that moment made him gain a new appreciation for that line and his role as Dr. Lazarus. Took one alien's death to realize that for himself. 🥲
Tony Shaloub's character being stoned and so mellow was hilarious to me, because it was a total opposite of his character on the show Monk.
It's so entertaining to see two Star Trek fans enjoying the ultimate Star Trek fan movie. Thank you!
1999 was such a break out year for Sam Rockwell. Guy in Galaxy Quest and Wild Bill in The Green Mile. What a range!
Alan Rickman and Sam Rockwell are both in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, another sci-fi comedy.
Sygorny Weaver's saying "Why is it always ducts? May have been a callback to her previous Sci-fi rolls. She is the only one of the cast to have a solid background in Sci-fi. She had to fight to win the part because of that.
She wanted the role because it was 180 degrees from her previous parts. She loved the Tawny character so much she would later wear the wig and go out in public.
Still weird that despite Tim Allen's regular guy brand, he's played two different iconic space heroes with a perfect mix of comedy and heart.
This movie was a love letter to Star Trek fans.. 😊
"I had originally not wanted to see [Galaxy Quest] because I heard that it was making fun of Star Trek and then Jonathan Frakes rang me up and said ‘You must not miss this movie! See it on a Saturday night in a full theatre.’ And I did and of course I found it was brilliant. Brilliant.

And it was both funny and also touching in that it paid tribute to the dedication of these fans." - Patrick Stewart
Pitch black one of my favorite sci-fi movies
“I think we’re the green thingy”
The Studio's weren't too keen on "promoting drug usage", so they just left it to the audience's imagination about" Kwan."
Tawny" was based on Marina Siirtis's character "Deanna" on TNG, being a "Captain obvious", as Marina put it.
When Tawny see's the Chompers, Sigourney was so caught up in the scene, she didn't say the word "Screw"... They loved her energy in the scene and thought it'd be fun to allow the Audience to SEE what she really said
This was a True Homage, not only to the Series, but it's also a love letter to the Cons and the devoted Fans of show.
One detail I feel like often gets overlooked: when Sarris comes to the bridge disguised as Fred and points a phaser at Nesmith, Nesmith says "whoah careful Fred, you'll put an eye out with that thing," and Sarris as Fred smirks before raising the gun and shooting. Because Sarris lost his own eye in his first encounter with Nesmith. That's good writing and acting, and the kind of detail you might not pick up till repeat viewings.
Galaxy Quest is the best non-Star-Trek Star Trek movie ever made. Great reaction. Thank you.
Ppl say Spoof, I say Tribute. They make it to where Star Trek could really happen and how fans are awsome
It's Star Trek's Spaceballs.
OH MY GOD! THEY KILLED QUELLEK!
35:05
Ok, so you wanted some recommendations for *fun* sci-fi films.
Here are ten - in no particular order:
- *"Dark Star"* (1974), by John Carpenter _(Carpenter's directorial debut)._
- *"The Fifth Element"* (1997), by Luc Besson.
- *"Spaceballs"* (1987), by Mel Brooks.
- *"M+r+ns from outer space"* (1985), by Mike Hodges _(I don't know whether the algorithm let's this slide)._
- *"Innerspace"* (1987), by Joe Dante _(+ a honorable mention of "Fantastic Voyage" (1966), by R. Fleischer - the "quasi" prequel of Innerspace...less funny, but equally awesome)._
- *"Short Circuit"* (1985), by John Badham.
- *"Evolution"* (2001), by Ivan Reitman.
- *"Iron Sky"* (2012), by Timo Vuorensola.
- *"Plan 9 from outer space"* (1959), by Ed Wood Jr. _(no such list is complete without this classic XD)._
- *"Monster vs. Aliens"* (2009), by C. Vernon, R. Letterman _(animated)._
I like 'Iron Sky' (a movie made by fans) and 'Spaceballs' from this list. I believe there are lots of behind the scenes clips of Iron Sky viewable on TH-cam.
Hardware Wars
Heavy Metal, Barbarella
As much as I liked "Short Circuit", I loved "Electric Dreams" (1984) even more. Virginia Madsen makes Ally Sheedy look like Sarris.
and UFOria (1985) Cindy Williams, Fred Ward, Harry Dean Stanton. "Everyone ought to believe in something. I believe I'll have another drink." - Brother Bud.
Oh, some other fun things about the movie:
- The bridge was built on a gimbal, so when they're under attack, the bridge is actually moving.
- When Gwen is badly startled by Guy's screaming after arriving at the ship, the actress really did jump because the scream was unscripted.
- The "rudimentary lathe" advice is a callback to the original Star Trek episode "Arena" in which the captain makes a gun out of bamboo ...
- A documentary called "Never Surrender" was released a few years ago describing the creation of Galaxy Quest, with lots of cast interviews and such.
Also Gwen's obvious "Fuck that" was dubbed over as "Screw that!" so the film could be rated PG-13, but they never bothered to shoot that again, so you can clearly see that it isn't what she says.
They were planning on doing a sequel aftrr the video release was so successful but with the passing of Alan Rickman the rest of the cast decided not to😢💔
Alan Rickman died 16 years after this came out on video. They had plenty of time to make a sequel.
Great reactions.
Cortana's not from Star Trek?!!! oh man! does Gene Lucasberry know about this?!
I love this movie, thank you for your great reaction! ❤
Never give up, never surrender
One of the most authentic experiences...watching fans asking technical questions about the show to the actor who simply acted from a script. They are not the Showrunners or the writers...especially after a decade goes by they may not even remember making the episode. Lol.
I was at a Star Trek Creation Con and John Delancie who plays Q was there answering questions. His first comment was not to ask about technical questions about the show as he likely wouldn't know. The very first fan asks "How many "Q" are there in the Q Continuum."
John replied "203...next...". Lol 🤣😆
talk about sparks on the panel, my favorite joke from orville was they get hit and a panel burts into flame and cmmander was like, "Why isn't the fire supression kicking off." and response was, "That was the fire supression panel."
Have hardly ever clicked so fast. You two have amazing senses of humor so I knew you'd really enjoy this. An awesome movie IMO whether or not you're a Star Trek fan. Thanks for posting.
Love this movie...a great sci-fi comedy(I don't watch Star Trek)that I watch whenever it comes on.Brilliant cast and story..everything works.Thanx for running it!
Not a drama queen ……
just British, lol!
You can tell that Galaxy Quest was not only a love letter to Star Trek (as you said), but also a love letter to the fans. As much as you loved the movie, you would probably also enjoy Never Surrender on Prime. Released in 2019 for the 20th anniversary of the show, Never Surrender is a 90-minute documentary about Galaxy Quest, it's production and it's legacy. They talk with the cast, crew, and executives about how the movie got made, and they talk with fans, critics and some ST:TNG alumni about how it was marketed and received, and what its legacy has been. As much as I love Galaxy Quest, I also love Never Surrender, even after a half dozen viewings.
The documentery about this movie is amazing. I think it’s still up here.
It is! Totally worth watching after seeing the film!
35:00 "I am shot." The cadence, not the words, is a reference to Shakespearean Iambic Pentameter. It's used to finish off a phrase to stay within the poetic pattern. Fitting since Alan Rickman's character is so proud of his Shakespearean past.
Read this, saw the word “is” and got suddenly sad. What a loss, only 69, too soon.

10:51 her reaction to the scream is genuine - she nearly jumped out of her skin
"this movie has been recommended soooooo much!"
Good.
This movie is awesome!!
(Just like you two! x//3 )
Yes, Jordan and Chandra gorignak. 😉
Yes, I also like that the filmmakers did not make the movie a parody, but a real adventure with comic scenes.
TOS is a treat, and those characters are kind of essential Star Trek lore. Definitely recommend it.
This is definitely one of my favorite movies ever.. 😁❤️
this is a brilliant movie, a very affectionate homage to Star Trek..... in fact it's often referred to as the "Star Trek episode that they never wrote"... I get a buzz from it no matter how many times I watch it, because there always seems to be a new joke or easter egg that I'd missed....... and of course, Sigourney Weaver gradually bustin' out of her uniform is always watchable.......
This was the best reaction I've ever seen for this movie! Well done, and thanks!
I just noticed the opening scene audience shot showed a fan cosplaying a Star Trek: Discovery Klingon. This wasn't a mean parody, as you said, it was a love letter both the Trek program as well as the fans...it was the "fans" of the show, both alien and human, who actually saved the day.
Very fun reaction, guys!
Yes, Fred was constantly stoned. That's why he was always munching something. I'm told that a shot of him actually smoking a joint was cut by the censors.
It's the other way around. Galaxy Quest was released in 1999. Star Trek: Discovery didn't come along until 2017, 18 years later. If anything, ST:D was cosplaying Galaxy Quest!
I love how you picked up on how Shalhoub's character is absolutely baked.
the blond lady actually said "jeepers" lol you get a like for that.
Your highness !!!
This is a perfect movie - it managed to balance parody, drama, comedy, scifi to both make fun of and honor Star Trek and similar shows.
Sarris is one of the greatest movie villains ever.
One of the most loved Sci Fi shows is Firefly. Well to be honest it's a Sci Fi Western. You should check it out.
"Take my Love, Take my Land. Take me where I cannot Stand. I don't care, I'm still Free. You can't take the Sky from Me." Please stand for the complete Browncoat anthem: th-cam.com/video/gUn-eN8mkDw/w-d-xo.html
Just a western? Not any other genere?
Seriously this is such a great movie!! great cast, great parody and just great script!
34:36 Rock Guy is tough. I like to imagine the Digital Conveyor _did_ turn him inside-out like the Pig-Lizard. He just didn't care.
40:40 Those guns were designed by the Thermians to operate exactly as how they did on the TV show. Thus the censor-friendly disintegration.
Perhaps a fun note, but when Sigourney Weaver says: "Why is it always ducts?!" it's actually a reference to the Alien-movies, where they kept going through ducts. Sure, it's not a Star Trek reference, but it's still sci-fi and it features Sigourney Weaver, so why not?
Anyone who has watched your channel already knows you'll like this film, its so good.
the speculum being pointed specifically at Sigourney Weaver at 10:39 gets me every time
Ah, such a great movie! I'm glad you were able to experience it.
You asked for some other sci-fi movies to watch:
- Spaceballs - the classic Star Wars spoof.
- Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - an enjoyable adaptation of the classic comedy sci-fi books.
- The Fifth Element - original action/sci-fi starring Bruce Willis in his prime.
- The Martian - the main character is surprisingly upbeat for having to survive by himself on Mars.
- Pacific Rim - not comedy, but it's giant robots fighting giant monsters, and it knows exactly what it is and it perfectly walks the line between "not too serious" and "not too campy."
Great reaction as always! I think it was Wil Wheaton who said "Galaxy Quest is the best Star Trek movie." Such a fun movie and a great tribute to ST.
"This totally looks like a planet from Star Trek." It does. But it's Utah. Goblin Valley State Park. A nice little stop over about halfway between Capitol Reef and Arches National Parks. Easily one of the cooler state parks I've ever been too.
As a huge STNG fan, I felt this was a tribute to fans. Loved this! Great reaction.
Great movie! A few other funny ones you’ll like are Super Troopers I and II, Spies Like Us, and The Three Amigos
We old-time ST fans consider this as one of the best ST movies ever.
I'm an old-time ST fan, and I approve of this message.
Sam Rockwell is the MVP. Such a good movie! Thanks guys!
38:48 I never realized until you mentioned it that Guy Fleegman is the only one who DID NOT get shot.
“Is he a little bit stoned all the time?”
No. A lot.
The kids ragging on the convention are employees of the center. Like concessions, probably.
And Fred's so chill because he is absolutely blazed. He was lookin' for snacks in the vending machine, he was munching snacks on the shuttle ride down to the planet. Man is in orbit the entire time XD
Best ever made Star Trek movie that isn't a Star Trek movie.
This movie was perfectly cast
Your reaction video of "Galaxy Quest" is one of the most joyous ones I've seen on TH-cam in two years of viewing! Obviously you're MOVIE PEOPLE!!! HURRAH! Continued success ... and FUN! ... on your channel!
Chandra, we *_need_* to see a picture of you as Cortana! That would be awesome! 😲
The fireworks to guide them in are a reference to Flight of the Navigator.
Thank you for shaving off that mustache, you've earned my subscription.
Tony Shalhoub's character is the antitheses of the Scotty character in Star Trek, who is very excitable. "There telling me the generators won't take it. Just an FYI." is one of the best jokes in the movie.
One of my favorite references was actually when Sigourney Weaver says “Why is it always ducts?”. A nod to both Alien and Aliens.
So nice to finally get the Star Trek / Alien crossover we always dreamed of :)
Ducts also figure in Star Trek a few times.
At 14:38, I just noticed Guy choking on his food - a little nod to Kane's demise in 'Alien'? His scream in the transporter room was an ad lib btw.
This is a wonderful movie, really enjoyed your reaction too. Subbed.
A great science fiction comedy is spaceballs
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
The rock monster the commander fights here is a reference to a similar moment that was supposed to happen in Star Trek V where CPT Kirk was stuck alone on a planet at the center of the galaxy and was supposed to have a fight with one, but Paramount was notoriously cheap with the ST movies and despite approving it they said it wasn't in the budget when it came time to shoot it, and thus the entire final fight is very dull and anticlimactic, It's funny that a homage to Star Trek got the chance to do something that the very things it was modeling itself after "couldn't afford to do", it's a sign of true knowledge of what they were paying homage too and dedication as well. Great flix.
