Galaxy Quest (DVD) Reviews

Galaxy Quest is a Sci-Fi adventure spoof about the stars of a cult TV show and stars Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman and Justin Long. The TV show, called Galaxy Quest, is a 1980's Sci-Fi show in the vein of "Star Trek" and has the same enthusiastic fans. The show has been canceled for 18 years but Jason Nesmith, Gwen ...

Film only review. Spoofs can be hard to do well, and yet this one manages to successfully press all the right buttons to make it 'hilarious' rather than cringeworthy. To summarise the plot, the story revolves around the ex-stars of an old Star-Trekish TV series (called Galaxy Quest) who mainly trudge their way through cons ...

If any Star Trek fans are sensitive about their passion, then they should avoid this film. For everybody else this is a very funny film that takes the micky out of Star Trek and other sci-fi space shows, from the start to the finish. It is not a spoof movie, so there are no silly one line gags or innuendoes, the comedy comes from the ...

Never give up, never surrender? Sigourney Weaver ...Tim Allen...Alan Rickman...boldly going where no one fears to tread...truly scrumptious, the funniest space comedy of all time...well, better than Mel Brooks' Spaceballs, anyway (but that wasn't exactly hard, now was it?) Let's not play it down, however, cos Galaxy Quest is ...

I make no apologies for the following ravings - Galaxy Quest is one of the funniest films ever made and I love it to bits. If you are a fan of Science fiction in general, and Star Trek in particular, then you will love this movie. Even if you are not but just enjoy a good comedy then this is well worth a look as it works on many levels ...

Galaxy Quest falls into that category of 'film I've meant to get round to watching for ages, but never have' Up until now that is. Billed as being a sci-fi spoof for all the family. Galaxy Quest is a film that can be enjoyed by those who hate or love sci-fi in equal measure. Susan and I are a perfect example - I love all ...

This is a review for the R1 version of Galaxy Quest, which was in fact my first R1 purchase, way back in May of last year, just after the film had been released at UK cinemas. The R2 was released in March this year I believe! The film is a spoof on Star Trek, with the actors who played a starship crew in a now defunct sci fi show being ...

As Jim Kirk immortalised the words ‘Scotty, Beam Me Up!’ Peter Quincy Taggert occasionally said ‘Never give up... Never surrender!’ Galaxy Quest (directed by Dean Parisot) is by far the best Star Trek parody I have ever seen and a fantastic movie in it’s own right. The film is set around the ...

For four years the courageous crew of the NSEA Protector = "Commander Peter Quincy Taggart" (Time Allen) Tawny Maddison (Sigourney Weaver), Dr Lazarus (Alan Rickman) set off on a thrilling and dangerous mission in space - and then there mission was cancelled. This is how the Film itself is described and is based around a TV ...

When this movie was first released in 1999, I honestly thought to myself after seeing the trailer that it looked like a load of rubbish. Would it be yet another spoof movie, that although seemingly having a great cast, would amount to very little and be short on laughter. Strike one against Lizzii for being as wrong as a wrong person could have ...

When I first saw this film advertised I thought it would either be fairly good or terrible, after reading some positive opinions on it on dooyoo and a few other places I decided it was at least worth a try watching and I'm glad I did. --The Story-- A group of actors from a TV series called Galaxy Quest have just about faded into ...

Galaxy Quest is not done justice by many of the great reviews I have read in various papers and magazines. It is an hilarious film staring Tim Allen as Jason Nesmith, who is the star of Galaxy Quest, a sci-fi show from the 80's, Commander Peter Quincy Taggart. He stars alongside Sigourney Weaver, who plays Gwen Demarco (Lt. Tawny ...

Over the Easter weekend, we were at a sci-fi convention listening to actors talking on the stage, actors we recognise as our idols, our heroes. One of these told us about this movie he had watched – about a group of actors in a cult sci-fi TV series, who are at a convention. Hmm. Rather surreal. The event was a Dr. Who convention, the man ...

i watched this on sky box office the other day. I thought, after seeing the ads for it, that it looked a pretty good film. I watched it and found it to be an excellent film. It captures your imagination with bizarre creatures and characters that you really get to know. I won't explain too much just in case you decide to see ...

Jason Nesmith (Tim Allen) and his fellow crewmembers are well aware of how far fans of cult sci-fi TV will go to worship their favourites, as they’ve spent nearly two decades living off the fanaticism of followers of their long-since cancelled television show Galaxy Quest. Little did they know that their viewers extended beyond our solar ...

Star Wars has SpaceBalls and now Star Trek has Galaxy Quest. Hmmm. Not a very good trade. When I was told about this film I was promised 'side-splitting humour' in a laugh-a-minute sci-fi extravaganza. D'oh! What I watched was a mildly funny send up of Star Trek. More 'eheh' laughs than 'haha'. The storyline is ...

A thinly-veiled spoof on Star Trek though it may essentially be, Galaxy Quest is far more inspired than anyone might have imagined or expected. Sending up a subject already somewhat kitsch long before the 20th Century ended may seem the equivalent of taking coals to Newcastle, as the genre itself had begun to embrace its ...

Just when you thought that sci-fi films had nothing more to offer, Galaxy Quest comes along and proves you wrong in the funniest way possible. It begins in a normal Science Fiction convention (if that can be considered normal) based around the fictional Galaxy Quest space series. The actors are trying to make ends meet after the show was ...

Imagine a group of aliens, with no sense of irony, receiving TV signals from earth. They stumble across a Star Trek like 60's TV soap opera, and believe it to be a historical document. So, when their culture is in danger, guess who is their only hope? Since Galaxy Quest (the fictitious TV series) came off the air, the crew of the ...

Right then, I'm a Star Trek fan, always have been, and I'm pig sick of the lame, dull and usually inaccurate spoofs of the series which seem to have infested every satirical TV show for the past ten to twenty years. In general, these consist of three half-witted comedy actors in ill-fitting blue tops and exaggerated bell-bottomed ...
