Great Movie, With Lots Of Extras...
You dont have to be a Star Trek fan to enjoy Galaxy Quest, but it certainly
helps. A knowingly affectionate tribute to Trek and any other science fiction
TV series of the 1960s and beyond, this crowd-pleasing comedy offers in-
jokes at warp speed, hitting the bulls-eye for anyone who knows that
(1) the starship captain always removes his shirt to display his manly
physique; (2) any crew member not in the regular cast is dead meat; and
(3) the heroes always stop the doomsday clock with one second to spare.
So it is with Commander Taggart (Tim Allen) and the stalwart crew of the
NSEA Protector, whose intergalactic exploits on TV have now been
reduced to a dreary cycle of fan conventions and promotional
appearances. Thats when the Thermians arrive, begging to be saved from
Sarris, the reptilian villain who threatens to destroy their home planet. Can
actors rise to the challenge and play their roles for real? The Thermians
are counting on it, having studied the historical documents of the Galaxy
Quest TV show, and their hero worship (not to mention their taste for
Monte Cristo sandwiches) is ultimately proven worthy, with the help of
some Galaxy geeks on planet Earth. And while Galaxy Quest serves up
great special effects and impressive Stan Winston crea tures, director Dean
Parisot (Home Fries) is never condescending, lending warm acceptance to
this gentle send-up of sci-fi TV and the phenomenon of fandom. Best of all
is the splendid cast, including Sigourney Weaver as buxom blonde Gwen
DeMarco; Alan Rickman as frustrated thespian Alexander Dane; Tony
Shalhoub as dimwit Fred Kwan; Daryl Mitchell as former child-star Tommy
Webber; and Enrico Colantoni as Thermian leader Mathesar, whose sing-
song voice is a comedic coup de grâce. --Jeff Shannon
Blu-ray really is worth the money. There's just no other way to say it.
Galaxy Quest: I have loved this movie from the first time I saw it in the
theatre and still love it today. Not only is it a great spoof of Sci -fi movies
and TV shows in general, it is also a really great story! The ensemble cast
is perfectly cast, the plot is actually believable (once one buys into the
science fiction part) and the direction is right on target. We own this movie
on video cassette and on DVD and now on Blu-ray.
Top notch entertainment! I might just go watch it again right now!
