For four years, the courageous crew of the NSEA protector - "Commander Peter Quincy Taggart" (Tim Allen), "Lt. Tawny Madison (Sigourney Weaver) and "Dr.Lazarus" (Alan Rickman) - set off on a thrilling and often dangerous mission in space...and then their series was cancelled! Now, twenty years later, aliens under attack have mistaken the Galaxy Quest television transmissions for "historical documents" and beam up the crew of has-been actors to save the universe. With no script, no director and no clue, the actors must turn in the performances of their lives.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

I remember seeing this when it came out and recently revisiting it, not only is is still good, but I think it only got better with age; which is a rarity for any film. The cast is great and the characters or complimentary to one another. Plus it is by far Sigourney Weaver's hottest role!

Sci-Fi Comedy? - that concept has never worked, many have tried it, remember "The Ice Pirates" or "Pluto Nash" or "Spaceballs" - many have tried, and many have failed, but this was by far the best ever attempt at it, and the only one I actually enjoyed. All the other attempts at making a sci-fi comedies were either too stupid to enjoy, or they were just a bunch of parody scenes that made fun of other sci-fi movies. I thought this one was really funny & Original (I'd like to see a sequel). Its a must see for anyone who likes sci-fi. because this film is funny enough to be called a comedy, and sci-fi enough to be cool.

This 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.

I 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.
