"Galaxy Quest" is now one of those movies that's become a cult classic as it's a nice blend between comedy and sci-fi and it entertains with laughs and drama. And the cast had great chemistry as it's all star with Tim Allen, Alan Rickman, Sam Rockwell, and the sexy and beautiful Sigourney Weaver. As all are part of a space TV cast and all of a sudden the game gets real as they fight against real aliens it's a battle to defend earth. It's a fun game of laughs and trying to outsmart each other with wit. And sex appeal is provided with the Weaver character(as she sports a bust and can be seen wearing a sexy silk red or maroon colored bra.) Overall good film to watch for fun it doesn't take things to serious while entertaining and providing laughs and fun entertainment!
... View MoreI watched this for the first time yesterday and enjoyed it. It is about a group of actors that are no longer preforming their show (which is much like Star Trek) but are at conventions and still well-known, yet sick of saying their classic lines and signing pictures. They get abducted and have to fight real creatures and aliens that they pretended to fight in the past. There were some rude jokes, as well as minor bad words (such as "dam*" and "hel*"), but it is an enjoyable comedy. There are some things that make me laugh just thinking about them--such as how human-like alien creatures think TV shows are historical documents and a character asks, "You don't think 'Gilligan's Island' is a historical document, do you?!" and her response is the creatures hanging their heads and one of them saying, "Those poor people." (Gilligan's Island is a 1960s TV show where seven people are abandoned on an uncharted desert island.) Another place that made me laugh is where the main character (played by Tim Allen) battles with a monster and accidentally has his shirt come off. He reunites with his team, and one of them (played by Alan Rickman) says in a sarcastic voice, "I see you had time to take your shirt off." The CGI was also excellent for the time it was made in.But though most of the humor was good, there was one joke that was rather cheesy. I was staring at the screen, thinking, "How can such excellent actors such as Tim Allen and Alan Rickman be doing this?" Speaking of Tim Allen, though he is a good actor, I did not like his role or acting much in this movie.So, though this has bad language, rude jokes, and that I didn't like the role Tim Allen did, it's great and still worth watching.
... View MoreThis is a remarkable, intelligent, and very funny film -- and you don't have to be a former Trekkie to enjoy it. And -- once having seen it -- you can be dropped into any scene a decade later -- any scene -- and it will be just as good as the first time you saw it. And it has a story to tell. Tim Allen is terrific -- but so is every member of the cast.
... View MoreI didn't even know about this movie until a friend talked me and my family into seeing it. The title sounded like a low budget B-movie. It turned out that some of the funniest people in the business were in this. The premise is great. A group of actors are part of a "Star Trek" type show. They have gone their separate ways. They are tired of each other, and often not very friendly. Some have managed to earn a few bucks doing public appearances with nerdy people adoring them. This is certainly true of the real "Star Trek" cast. What happens is that some aliens who don't understand television believe that when watching "Galaxy Quest," they are seeing the real activities of real space explorers. The come and expect that these people will be able to do their will. Of course, there are the usual, "You are an idiot" moments, trying to explain what actors do. The charm comes from the great cast which finds themselves in over their heads, eventually having to submit to the will of these guys. Very funny movie.
