Till this day, I refer to my home videos as the historical documents.
I love that!
Dammit! I should'a been doing that!
We're looking at Escape from New York right now. Crimes though the roof. Not being a drag but shit.
I think honestly this movie is subtly telling people not to believe everything they watch, even if its labeled as a "documentary" or "biography". Human beings never evolved with television of movie screens and its scientifically been proven that watching anything on a screen can imprint into your memories as if it was real. I think its also saying that the aliens never considered producing works of fiction or lying.

Missy Pyle does not get enough credit as a brilliant comedic actress. and not just in GQ but in so many other roles.
She is brillant, smart, interesting and the hottest being in the galaxy. I know coz I quested
@@clinicalpsychologist
Then you woke up.
She has such an awesome and natural smile
Correct me if I'm wrong, wasn't she also Ms Pasternak from 2 and a Half Men??
I went to high school with her. Class of 1992. When she played the Witch in Into the Woods at the Poplar Pike Playhouse it was amazing. Better than Streep did it. Amazing actress. Also did Anything Goes, my future wife played Girl #2.
When the comedic element of a film goes from splitting your sides to ripping your heart out in the space of only a few scenes, that's genius. Bravo, Enrico Colantoni, bravo.
Actors take note: Colantoni didn't just put on a funny voice and funny walk, he conveyed true thoughts and feelings through the filter of his character. The way he says "buuut whyyyy?" in the interrogation scene still gets to me.
Tim Allen looks genuinely distraught.
Colantoni is such an underrated actor. If that "but why?" moment didn't break your heart, you have no soul. 💔
"Don't you have any theater on your planet? Any actors?"
As a kid I thought he was Indian or something?
I loved him in Person Of Interest. He's a brilliant character actor that a lot of people don't know about.
As someone who grew up on and loves Star Trek, I have to say that this film is a comedy masterpiece. It's pure gold. It's genius.👽
Look up Patrick Stewart and Jonathan Frakes taking about it. The whole TNG cast loved this movie.
I always thought it would be awesome if the Galaxy Quest franchise took the place of Star Trek in the Star Trek universe. As for Thermians in the Trek universe, since the only remaining Thermians were the ones on the Protector, they might have gone extinct before any of the Trek shows or maybe they puttered off to the far side of the galaxy and started a little colony there, I dunno, I’m just brainstorming…
I was pleasantly surprised. Star Trek had been spooked countless times but this really helped acknowledge it's comedic tropes whole being original and funny at the same time. And Sigourney was smoking hot as a blond.
Calantoni plays a Thermian, a paranoid husband and father in Travelers, and a shlubby sheriff in Veronica Mars. He's got far, far more range than George Clooney and Brad Pitt, combined.
@@johnstrawb3521 Don't forget criminal mastermind in Person of Interest
I love this movie. Had no idea Enrico Colantoni was so instrumental in shaping what it is to be a Thermian. He had a huge impact on that movie. Glad he got the credit and respect from his peers that he had truly earned.
He was specifically thought of to play this character before it was written. The concept & some sketch parts where done but not a full script! He was such a perfect choice for this role! Whole cast was brilliant!
"Oh, that's not right!" My favorite line of the whole movie, and perfectly delivered!
"Is there AIR ?? You don't know !!"
I see you managed to get your shirt off again
I do not know how many times I've seen, heard or smelled something really off and just blurted out " OH! THAT'S NOT RIGHT!"
Toto Wolff was inspired by this movie.
@@scottcrawford3745 I think linking to other videos is discouraged...but...
TH-cam: th-cam.com/video/o93rtGdGqSw/w-d-xo.html
The fact that a movie that ridicules everything about Star Trek (the "hokey" premise, the actors being typecast and coming to resent their roles, the conventions, and even the fans themselves) manages to become beloved by Star Trek fans shows how incredible this movie is. Never give up, never surrender!
Star Trek fan here. I bought the DVD and watch the movie every time I see it on TV.
Disagree with the first part. This movie doesn't ridicule - to ridicule is to do parody with a hurtful intent. Rather it is parody of Trek but it is done from a place of respect. That is why people who like Trek also like this movie.
@@Debilitator47 THIS! SO MUCH THIS!
Galaxy Quest is the best Star Trek movie ever made.
Same as "True Lies" is the best-ever Bond movie.
@@raypurchase801 was about to write the same thing..
Alan Rickman, gone too soon. Blessed us with what time he had and made it count.
This movie is a hoot!
My absolute favorite scene is when they move the ship out of space dock. It's scraping against the side of the space station, and when they finally clears it, the look on Alan Rickman's face makes me roar with laughter. 🤣
By Grabthar's Hammer, by the Sons of Warvan...
@@kasession , All of the ‘crew’/actors had the funniest expressions during that scene. The horrendous scraping/screeching noise was like nails on a chalkboard!!! 🥴😬
Loved Alan Rickman in Galaxy Quest, but also in Robin Hood and as Snape.. A true one off legend
@@kasession I like the scene where Rickman is one of the three actors who are making a commercial. Rickman doesn't want to say his line.
I,ve always said that "Galaxy Quest" never really got the credit it deserved...
Great acting, great story, lots of laughs.
The parodic analogy with Star Trek had me rolling on the floor.
Masterpiece in my humble opinion.
Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman (rip, allan) to name a few, such a great cast...
I saw it at the cinema when it came out - I hadn't read any reviews and I thought it was going to be so-so, like Mystery Men (from a few months earlier). But it was really good and I can still remember bits of it. "Can you form some sort of rudimentary lathe".
Everyone I've forced to watch it later asked me why I waited so long. It's probably what they call a hidden gem.
@@AshleyPomeroy Mystery Men was better than you give them credit for.
It has a 7.4/10 rating on IMDB. It made double it's budget at the box office, not bad for a niche sci-fi comedy. It won multiple awards and was well received by critics. Its a great movie and was accepted as such. It got the credit it deserved.
Tony Shalhoub.
I got the impression the thermians are a gentle parody of fans, sometimes they can get a little awkward but their enthusiasm for the show is so sincere and it needs to be respected.
Absolutely. They're super-invested in the show, so much so they made it their whole lives... but they're also *brilliant*, brave, and heartfelt, turning the imagination of the in-universe Galaxy Quest's writers into reality (as happened a few times with Star Trek). Very much a loving parody of fans.
After all these years I never made that connection. Good insight on you!
Did they even know what they’d created? It’s adorable, fun, touching, scary, and a sharp antidote to taking yourself too seriously. To everyone involved with this movie, I hope they see it as an unexpected highlight of their career. May it live forever.
May it live long and prosper, at any rate.
The story goes that shortly after the movie's release Jonathan Frakes who plays Commander Riker on Star Trek the Next Generation called his friend Patrick Stewart and asked him if he had seen this movie yet and Sir Patrick said he had not planned on seeing it. Jonathan told him, "Oh, you must! It's fantastic!" and they saw it together. It's too bad that it didn't do well enough to warrant a sequel, sadly, but has a large following to this day. What surprised me was how touching some parts of it were, unexpectedly. For example when Alexander Dane (Alan Rickman) says his "By Grapthar's hammer..." line with feeling and emotion (for the first time in his career) to the dying Thermian.
Everyone needs to see this deleted scene with Tech Sargent Chen (who, you'll remember, is actually a moron): It's the first scene here: th-cam.com/video/9b4s5CfPD4Y/w-d-xo.html
@@JustWasted3HoursHere I heard they were planning a sequel. Everyone was on board. Then Alan Rickman died.
@@michellem3050 True, but Galaxy Quest came out in 1999 (Christmas day!) and Alan died in 2016. It's too bad they waited so long. :(
So true!
Ah, Galaxy Quest! The parody of Star Trek turning out to be the most honoring hommage to it. Absolutely love it!
The Thermian's really stole the show. Colantoni should have gotten an award for that character. He really conveyed their innocence (as well as the rest of the actors) in such a comical but vulnerable way.
When I first saw an episode of Flashpoint, I thought "wasn't he (Sargent Gregory Parker) in Galaxy Quest?"
Can't believe he's the same guy as the crime boss in Person of Interest (Enrico Colantoni) - one of my fav actors ---
@@VoIPPortland He's Veronica Mars dad too.
Wait, people watched this movie?
@@skinnie2838 Yes... and we loved it.
Underrated film. One of the best. “Oh, that’s not right!” Still cracks me up. 😂
Im so happy they did this clip, because that movie had far more depth than anyone realizes. To perfectly mock yet reflect the whole star trek series, both behind and in front of the camera, with accurate reflections on William shatner as the actor AND James Kirk as the role, combined with a story thats compelling, combined with what could have been ridiculously corny stuff without the performances. Just genius how it all came together. Imagine someone like Megan Fox or even Vin Diesel as the lead alien, and you'll realize quickly how bad this could have been. Also the comedic performances, especially the Mathusar and Sam Rockwell, just fantastic. Great writing, great acting, not-getting-in-the-way directing...perfectly done. It also reflects how good writing can be elevated by incredibly perceptive actors who don't try to mug to the camera.
Trying to picture Vin Diesel as Mathusar is pretty hilarious though.
Sam Rockwell was definitely mugging for the camera, but it was brilliant. "Do I have a last name? DO I?"
its a damn shame that the Great Mr Rickman was taken from us and we never got a GQ2,
Galaxy Quest will always be in my top 10 favourite movies, i'll never forget a single word!
He will be avenged.
@@aspexpl By Grapthar's Hammer, no less.
I think it's probably better a sequel wasn't made. I would hate to have this movie watered down by a sub-par follow-up. Not saying that it would have been, but the chances are...
@@sjp35productions6 Why did he have a hammer? Does he know that it's missing?
@@realnohat I agree. I think a sequel would have inevitably messed up the perfect happy ending.
Before I originally watched Galaxy Quest, I thought it was going to be average, how wrong I was. I dont think there was any part of this movie that wasnt great. Love that movie.
GQ was one of the only movies to nearly have me literally wetting myself with laughter.
Love this movie.
I recall going to see this movie right after a Hercules and Xena convention in San Diego when it first came out. I never felt so connected to a movie before. It was awesome .
Galaxy Quest and the original Robocop are the two movies in my life that I went to watch that I thought would be sub par but stunned me how great they were.
ditto i went into it not expecting much but came away STUNNED at how good it was. i recall it being a "sleeper" of sorts when it was in the theatres, but i was drawn by the allstar cast as i already knew of Tim Allen from Home Improvement/Toy Story, Rickman from Die Hard, Sigourney from Aliens, Rockwell from Charlie's Angels, and oh Shalhoub from GATTACA (and even MORE exceptional "sleeper" movie).
Sigourney Weaver hit it on the head - the Thermians were likeable. If that hadn't worked, there would've been no investment in the plot and it would've just been another forgettable parody movie like so many others.
So intelligent but also truly naive, yeah that'll work
Ooo. Good point
This. I liked them so much.
@@paulmichaelfreedman8334 Like a lot of Trekkies?
@@jnordne2 Probably.
This is the only movie I paid to see twice when I still went to an actual theater. Filled with great writing and a fantastic cast. The movie gently mocks the whole sci fi genre, particularly Star Trek, while at the same time reminding us why shows like Star Trek are so well loved.
We wore the DVD out! Had to get another copy.
I'm a Star Trek fan and loved this movie when it came out, not just as a homage to Star Trek but in its own right.
This is slightly painful because I absolutely loved this show, but I know it will never be continued or matched. Rest in peace, Alan Rickman.
This movie has aged extremely well. Just watched it again recently and it was even better than I remembered! My favorite line was "But Why?" and that weird walk a couple of Thermians were doing in the background.
The clap was the greatest thing for me. So awkward and awesome.
Such an amazing cast... A-listers, future A-listers and THE best character actors around...
God bless Enrico for that voice thing and Missi for the awkward smiles and God bless literally everyone else who made the Thermians really shine. Both hilarious and ultimately touching in the end. I care more for these characters from a parody than I do for lead characters in most modern blockbusters. To do one or the other is one thing but to pull both of these off at once and with the same characters is something else entirely. Kudos also to Tim Allen and of course Alan Rickman for the same. What a magical cast! Everyone was spot on! So many things coming together perfectly to make this a true masterpiece.
::chef's kiss::
I loved this whole movie. Two of my favorite Easter Egg/Continuity moments are 1. When they are planning to take the sphere and Tim Allen calls Sam Rockwell "Fleegman" even though we aren't supposed to know his last name yet. 2. When are are about to go through the "chompers" and Sigourney Weaver says "Well screw that", but you can clearly see that her mouth says "Well F*%k that". I guess they changed it in post to keep it more family friendly.
I thought I was the only one thinking that👍
When Sam Rockwell says, "Oh that's not right!" Is probably the funniest things ever! To this day I cannot stop laughing at that moment.
Right up there with “You gotta be f*ing kidding!” from The Thing
That, and the "it explooooded" quip!
@@videoplusdvd underrated comment!
This movie is still underrated to this day. This movie was so well made that, I think, most people couldn't see the nuances and cultural references they were witnessing. So much fun. Worthy of several viewings for sure.
re: "This movie was so well made that, I think, most people couldn't see the nuances and cultural references they were witnessing." exactly this is a VERY SPECIFIC movie intended to appeal to a VERY SPECIFIC type of fan/person and would likely not have broad appeal (even with the all-star cast). if one was not in this demographic, i suspect a lot of it went over their heads. however if you were IN this demographic you've now likely it watched it several times over the past 20+ years and considered it an "instant classic" in the context of Sci-Fi related genre
@@phillyphil1513
Or as Abraham Lincoln one said when writing a review of a book," if you like this kind of book you'll love this book." Had a good sense of humor.
Galaxy Quest just gets better with more viewings! It’s on our favs list!
This is one of those classic movies that will never get awards but are just plain perfect for what they are & you can watch them over & over again. (s.a. Princess Bride, My Cousin Vinnie)
The entire movie is awesome! Sam Rockwell had some of the best lines, especially considering his role. I always laugh at “That’s not right!”, when he screams after beaming aboard the Thermian ship, and his continuous distress about being the unnamed crew member.
“...maybe you’re the plucky comic relief,...”
@@ObservingtheObvious "plucky?"
He's an excellent actor. I loved him in Moon, and also The Way Way Back, which is another really underrated film, though certainly no comedy.
Loved that film, still one of my all time favourites
Two decades after watching this moving for the first time, I still put it on from time to time and it still gets a laugh. Such a great fun movie
Years ago I went to Goblin Valley State Park in Utah - immediate first thought wasn't awe at the natural wonder of the geology, it was "holy crap - this is where they filmed the beryllium sphere scenes!!"
Galaxy Quest is one of the best films ever made, and it's always been in my top 5.
I thought this movie was going to be average but instead I got movie magic. To the cast and crew well done! Bravo!
This is a certified cult classic. I loved this movie when I was a kid.
I'd say Galaxy Quest is one of my favorite Sci-Fi films ever... must have watched it 10 or more times through the years
They totally messed up marketing on the movie - it's a heartwarming masterpiece that validates star trek and trekkies - just wonderful. Beautifully written, acted and directed.
I remember going to see this with friends of mine and the moment when the one thermian is looking for the commander's shoe ON THE CEILING!!
I look over at one of my friends and his whole head (he was bald) is RED from laughing at that moment!
That moment....
That moment.....looking at the ceiling, my friend's laughter and the look on his face was worth the price of admission into the theater!
If I was stranded on a desert island and could only have two movies to watch forever.. this would be one. The other would be "The Last Starfighter".
Last Starfighter is another film that got just the right collection of writing, cast and directing to make something much better than you would expect from the premise. It is by far the best of the "wannabe" films that followed Star Wars.
I like it when they're in the back of the car and she screeches alarmingly and he says, "Okey dokey."
This became a huge family favorite and quoted from more times than I’ll ever count. It deserves a spot in the Library of Congress. Comedy gold classic
By far one of the most funny and creative, although under-appreciated movies ever made.
Missi Pyle has always been strangely hot as f**k.
"Strangely" ? Neither fair nor accurate. She's just hot.
@@generalyellor8188 yeah okay then. Agreed.
Ms. Pasternak.
@@generalyellor8188 "just" hot? you're wrong or my thermostat it's broken..
What makes Galaxy Quest work so well is that underneath the parody is an actual engaging plot about characters you care about. And the Thermians being "cute" in trying and failing to emulate humans is such a big part of that. Even it it wasn't a parody you'd still care about the characters and their plight, and still find the tactical twist "this ship is dragging mines" an excellent plot point.
Tim does excellent well in the first parts of the film; boredom, annoyance, distrust, edging over into doubt, and fear.. and then bouncing around like a kid. "You guys gotta see this!"
This movie was an excellent comedy.
Thermians should have their own show, it would be a HOOT
My wife, a Belgian, has no idea what I'm doing when I do the Thermian walk.
to be fair, doing it on your wedding was not the best idea.
LoL 😂
@@IIISentorIII Really? 😂 LoL Wedding?
That’s because it’s illegal in the Low Countries.
@@IIISentorIII 😂😂😂
Being a lifelong Star Trek fan I just thought this film was BRILLIANT.
So charming. The Thermians could have came out so lame, that no one would care to save them.
The first couple of minutes into this movie I was devastated hoping for new cool sci-fi after 5 minutes it got my giggle going half way through the move pissing myself laughing.. one of the best.
The impact that GQ has had on so many writers/authors often makes my head spin. I mean, Craig Alanson's Expeditionary Force, one of my favourite sci-fi literary series contains one of my favourite GQ lines - "the red thingy is getting closer to the green thingy".
Galaxy Quest changed lives and we love you for it.
Some pals and I decided cosplaying as Thermians would be much more interesting than trying to reproduce the main cast. Being a minion has been great fun!
Also, I want to have Missi Pyle's baby.
Get in line for Missi Pyle!
You have a "thing" for purple tentacles?
On second thoughts, don't answer that.
@@dougaltolan3017 🤣
Missi Pyle👍🐙!!!
@@dougaltolan3017 Oh... that's not right! On second thought....
GQ was absolutely a home run. It's great to see what was behind all of the laughs.
Galaxy Quest is one of only a handful of perfect movies ever made, it is a sheer delight from start to finish. Perfectly cast, beautifully scripted and sublimely well made. It manages to cover some serious issues in a way that is meaningful but without preaching or alienating anyone. It even takes the piss out of Trekkies in a way that made them laugh and to take the film to their hearts like no other film. Love it to bits. Never give up, never surrender indeed.
One of the most underrated movies of all time, period. Not just comedy or sci-fi but pure cinematic art.
Loved that at the end the thermians think all that truth was a way to trick the bad guys. “all maDe uP, ShiP A’s BiG as tHIs... A moSt ClevEr decePtiOn Indeed!”
Just watching the bits from the movie reminds me of how funny the film actually was. Great to see and hear how it was developed.
The movie is timeless! Doesn’t matter when you watch it, it’s just a true work of art!
This movie, is by far, one of my all time favorites....in the entire galaxy 😁
"Oh, that's not right." Sam Rockwell is a genius! Use that line nearly EVERY day!
A genius??? Really?
@@jonhohensee3258 Yes really.
@@spectrumfox - That hardly makes him a genius. And what if he was GIVEN that line?
@@jonhohensee3258 Well of course he was given that line. The point here is he could have delivered it in over a million different ways but chose comedic gold!
@@alanreynolds2287 yeah....okay...sure
You're easily impressed.
If any movie needed a sequel, it was Galaxy Quest. No movie in the last 20 yrs deserved one more.
It's one of those movies you really like, but can't explain why. It bears frequent viewings, and like the best movies and sitcoms, it's bred a following and it's own unique set of classic one liners. But you have to hand it to the cast, there are so many memorable moments from each one. As I'm writing this I'm thinking of Sigorney Weavers famous two word exclamation, which was delivered so perfectly, the cinema cracked up.
I just watched this a couple of days ago and ... yeah, it's pretty much perfect as both a movie and a parody, and yeah, the Thermians are the key to why it works so well.
I still use the Maktar Chant of Strength to this day.
As an old scy-fi , or however you have spelled it over the decades. This movie was absolute genius. Yes it was mostly about the 'Trek' shows and movies, and quite a bit more. But the not only nod to those old shows, but it at the same time made fun of them as well. I still find it odd that this film wasn't a bigger hit with just how many nerds there are. And I am a proud member of them. Pure greatness.
Seeing Alan on screen makes me miss him even more. Such a great actor.
Always a great joy to watch this movie with my family. Missy Pyle .... WOW! Beautiful in and out of character. What a cast of nice people.
A sequel please . Also Missi Pyle 🥰😍🖤👫
Yes, please!
I was in a hotel in Bangkok, turned on the TV and flicked on to Galaxy Quest. I almost kept flicking channels but something held me there (I think it might have been "... hang on... is that Sigourney Weaver?"). First of about 9 million times through for me. It's pure joy every time.
And did anyone ever see the DVD easter egg where the whole movie is overdubbed in untranslated Thermian? Just so perfect.
I went to see that movie 7 times in a row back then when it came out. Not only did I love the movie itself but I also really loved and enjoyed being in a theater full of people amongst a laughing and joyous crowd. This connection with others through the movie was a great experience!
I only wish I’d known about it’s magic and had seen in in a theatre! It’s great to laugh as an audience!
Missi Pyle who did Laliari, her own speaking voice is really nice. I never knew what she sounded like as a normal person. Plus she is also very good looking too.
Missi Pyle was the unibrow Russian in Dodgeball. There were arguments that her makeup with too scary and over-the-top, but the extremists won in the end. Super funny.
Stellar cast, stellar writing, stellar performances all bundled up in an Interstellar Movie. One of my absolute all time faves.
I absolutely adore this movie. Sheer comedic perfection.
Alan Rickman one of the best actors ever.... God bless you, you are missed
All amazing actors, the alien language idea, just brilliant
What a brilliant movie. I always wished there had been a sequel (or even a series)!
I heard they were talking about it, but then Alan Rickman passed away. Still breaks my heart that he's not with us any more.
I think it would have been spoiled by repeated attempts to recapture the magic. It is perfect as it is.
I had always thought they were doing "dolphins trying to be humans" as a directors instruction. The mentioned tonal warble when speaking English. The alien "chittering" language. The sleek grey suits. The pasted down hair. The arms and legs that didn't quite work as arms and legs. Even the fixed smile as a dolphin grin.
A bit galling that I had read far too much into the aliens character development
Then again, who knows what conspired to inspire Mr Colantoni ?
May he be praised for his contribution in the creation of these beloved characters.
BTW, I will look differently at them keeping your take on this in mind, next time around.
Shouldn’t be long :-)
Never thought of them like that....mmmmmm!
So long and thanks for all the fish!
@@mark4d148 Along with all of the best layed plans of Mice.
@@mark4d148 Great reference! Am I the only one that had a "thing" for Missy Pyle's character? That smile got me!
Oh I'm adding that to my head canon. 😁
As great as any of the best of the sci fi genre. Top film. HIGHLY underrated.
Galaxy Quest is an absolute classic and I'm glad they never tried a sequel because they never would have been able to top it. This is one of those movies that I have to watch every couple of years and it never fails to make me laugh and feel good. And until I watched this video I never realized how beautiful Missy Pyle is!
This is one of my all-time favorite movies. It came out around 6 months after I finished grad school, and was settling in to a new job and apartment. So I suspect I was too busy to see any movies at the time. I picked the DVD up on sale at Walmart many years later. But it's just the type of quirky, unique movie I really love.
This video on the Thermians was excellent as well. They did such a good job portraying a very strange and funny race of aliens that were lovable as well. You actually end up caring about their survival and don't really mind the love scene at the end between the human and the tentacled alien. Somehow that made her human form all the more sexier.
The guy that played Mathazar(?) was great! Actually ALL the Thermians were awesome! I like how they really got into their roles as aliens.
We need another two or three more movies like this I really enjoyed it I'm a Star Trek fan and I really enjoy Galaxy Quest because it's completely different from all the rest I believe it's one of the best ones I've ever seen
Geez! This is one of my favorite movies in all my 63 years! The characterizations are fantastic!
The Thermian acting is even wilder if you're used to Enrico being Elias on Person of Interest.
How about Enrico as the photog in TV's 'Just Shoot Me.' The character ran for 5 years.
What a great movie. Wow seeing Alan Rickman really hit me in the feels. Wasn't ready for that.
Yup, it's a well deserved classic. They just nailed everything perfectly.
Always in danger of another watch. I've seen it 4 times already but haven't yet started repeated the lines as they played so, you know, I got that to look forward too.
Amateur, when you reach 40+ viewings you may brag.😉
Just kidding all fans welcome.
I've got the entire script memorized!
They should show this on Friday nights at the local bijou rather than Rocky Horror. Way better.
Mathazar was Genius.... and Missi Pyle could smile at me anytime lol .
Missi Pyle is a doll! What a sweetheart. Don't blame Tony Shaloub.
It's hard to combine loving homage with bitingly sharp satire, but GQ managed that feat.
Brilliant movie. Hilarious, and not just a great sendup of sci fi and its associated tropes, but a great sci-fi in its own right.
What an impossible task: "Let's mock Star Trek but get the Trekkies to love it." ..And they pulled it off.
An ALL TIME Favorite of mine... So many great actors just having so much fun! And what a script!!
I've watched Galaxy Quest so many times... I think I'll have to watch it again now.
Alan Rickman we miss you in the Entertainment world. I just finished watching the Monk series again with Tony Shalhoub... what a special show that was. So touching and funny at the same time. Tim, Sigourney, Enrico, Missi always such a pleasure to see them in action whatever character they depict. Why haven't we ever had a hint of a sequel even before Alan passed? That my biggest disappointment.
My father was a Trekkie and I was an Alphan. We both enjoyed watching this movie together. It really has everything and manages to pull off every aspect.
Alphan as in Space:1999? I only ever saw the first season since the station didn't pick up the second season in KC.
@@michaelnash2138 The 2nd Season was Americanized. Feels different. I still enjoyed it, but Season 1 was more cerebral.
Can we just appreciate how much of a damn chameleon Missy Pyle is! I never recognize her in every movie she's in, and I didn't even know that was her in this right away!
man, I'm exactly the opposite.
she has SUCH a distinctive look that I couldnt mistake her in ANYTHING shes in.
She is strikingly, spectacularly beautiful.
@@TheSighphiguy Including Dodgeball?
Quite possibly the most underrated film of all time.
Love this movie.. I freaked my kids out when they started driving because I made the screeching sound as they pulled out of a parking space.. they both hate and love me for it.. and yes, they've done it to me, too.
No matter how many times I see this movie, I am always down to watch it again. One of my top five favorite movies.
This is one of the greatest movies ever made. Fantastic work on everyone's part! God I miss this Hollywood.
What this movie has in common with another fave of mine (Young Frankenstein): it's both a satire and an homage. They set out to poke fun at Star Trek, and the subculture that it spawned, but they did it with love.
