The stars of a 1970s sci-fi show -- now scraping a living through re-runs and sci-fi conventions are beamed aboard an alien spacecraft. Believing the cast's heroic on-screen dramas are historical documents of real-life adventures, the band of aliens turns to the ailing celebrities for help in their quest to overcome the oppressive regime in their solar system.

Intelligent and humorous satire with an excellent cast -- no previous Trekkie knowledge needed to enjoy this one.

Galaxy Quest is as funny and entertaining today as it was 25 years ago.

The washed-up cast of a beloved TV space show, clearly based on Star Trek, are recruited by gullible extraterrestrials to fight a genuine alien war in this lightweight but enjoyable spoof.

It's a warm, appealing comedy filled with well-realized characters and jokes ranging from the wry to the slapstick-y.

‘…the concept is so well developed that it’s a crime not to mine this particular sci-fi real estate any further…’

Even 25 years later, Galaxy Quest is a love letter to fandom and the importance of stories, and one that has its own cast of memorable characters.

Special effects were great. Fast moving and the humor/sarcasm was well played.

A fun 90's spoof comedy that is still funny today. Allen is a miscast. You can tell he struggles with the role. The supporting characters are the ones that make it work. Rockwell steals the show in every scene.

A film made by true fans and made a tribute to Star Trek, with a good sense of humor. The jokes are real and hit hard because they based on true, well-known facts and they are lovable, because the jokes are not rude and respect both original creators of the show and the fans as well.
