VHS Tape Description

You don't 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 bull's-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. That's 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 The Thermians are counting on it, having studied the "historical documents" of the Galaxy Quest TV show, and their hero worship (not to mention their taste for Monte Cristo sandwiches) is ultimately proven worthy, with the help of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 creatures, 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

Hillarious

This movie is a great movie. Kids and adults should enjoy. Even not star trek fans.


So funny...you gotta see this..about once a year

This movie makes everyone in our family laugh all the way through it every time we see it. The aliens are hilarious...the plot is so funny...a big part of it is the cheese factor which is intentional. We just love this movie.

The plot plays off a typical Star Trek episode...portraying the actors as they 'really are'...and an alien civilization which picks up the broadcasts and thinks they are 'historical documents'. This starts the action...and it really gets funnier and funnier as it goes along. Tim Allen is perfect for the lead role...and S. Weaver is great side kick...so many great one liners in this movie...my wife and I think it's one of the best comedies we own.

I'm sure you won't be disappointed with this one.


Fun, Fun, Fun

The bickering. The confusion. The FUN! A great fun movie for the whole family. Everyone does a GREAT job.
