Galaxy Quest

Pros: Fun, entertaining movie with good cast.
Cons: Could be too silly for some people.

In 1999, Galaxy Quest, a comedy science fiction movie was released. The movie did seem to be poking some fun at the old Star Trek television show. I didn’t see the movie until after it was out to rent and I liked it so much ...

Pros: Tim Allen, Alan Rickman, Sigourney Weaver's cleavage, Humor
Cons: If you don't know Trek, you will miss some laughs

Galaxy Quest (1999) During a recent hospital stay I was given William Shatner's autobiography, however, I was unable to read it because of injuries and drug interference with my concentration. I did get to read the book once I was released ...

Pros: Extremely funny, superb performances by all, especially Rickman and Weaver
Cons: If you don't like Sci-Fi, this probably won't do much for you

Galaxy Quest is a spoof of Star Trek and other sci-fi series. It features the cast of a successful TV series (of the same name as the film), years after the initial success of the series –they are now reduced to attending conventions and ...

Pros: Funny look at the Star Trek series.
Cons: None

Star Trek has inspired many spoofs over the years, but none better then this one, which spoofs everything about the show, including the fans, in a loving and funny way. Galaxy Quest was a very popular TV show from the late 70's, but the actors ...

Pros: Very funny, Sigourney Weaver was hot
Cons: Unbelievable, pretty goofy, may offend some Sci-Fi geeks

Galaxy Quest is about a bunch of has-been actors from an old Star Trek type of show. They still go around to various sci-fi conventions where they have to repeat their trademark lines and sign autographs and deal with way-too-dedicated fans of the show....

Pros: great Star Trek spoof
Cons: really have to be familiar with Star Trek to fully appreciate it

Have you ever wondered if those Star Trek actors ever get tired of being forced to constantly be associated with their roles on the Enterprise? In this highly enjoyable spoof, the show in question is "Galaxy Quest," obviously an allusion to...

Pros: Some cute satire. Sigourney Weaver. Alan Rickman.
Cons: Tim Allen.

It's been an exhausting few weeks. I have been running from pillar to post looking for fresh new talent to appear on my new reality television show, American Idyl. We think we have a surefire concept - audition girls between the ages of four and ...

Pros: funny, good satire, F-U-N
Cons: all too predictable

There is perhaps no franchise in movie making history that is at once loved and loathed more than ...

Pros: Witty and very entertaining; a terrific cast who plays well off of one another’s characters
Cons: Non sci fi fans may not understand much of the underlying humor

When a popular television series has been cancelled for 20 years, and the reruns still live long and prosper, what could possibly be the implications?

The cast of the years-gone-by, popular TV series Galaxy Quest now, much to their...

Pros: Good Natured Spoof
Cons: none

Firstly...I just LOVED this movie. I haven't laughed this hard in a long time.

This film is a spoof of the Star Trek television show and the fans that love it, including the conventions and public appearances. Each character in the movie has...

Pros: Lots of good laughs and good performances.
Cons: Gets a bit silly at times. So what?

OK, you would be forgiven if you said, "I would rather staple my tongue to a urinal than see a Tim Allen movie." I did. But being a fan of good comedy and sci-fi, I was intrigued by Galaxy Quest. Suffice to say it's a surprisingly fun movie,...

Pros: Good cast, excellent special effects, great spoofs.
Cons: Not for everyone.

Galaxy Quest is a sci-fi spoof that pokes fun at TV science fiction shows (i.e., Star Trek), their actors, and their fans.

This is a movie that requires two ratings.

1.) For the reality based persona it barely manages to get one...

Pros: A fairly good story, some depth in characters, some humor.
Cons: Some humor.

Back in the 60’s I faithfully watched the TV program Star Trek. I even developed a sort of crush on Mr. Spock, despite the shape of his ears. I was also developing an interest in romance novels back then and pretty much figured Mr. Spock qualified as...

Pros: The premise is amusing (if one-dimensional) and the special effects are top-notch
Cons: Most of the movie is as cheesy as the show it parodies

Do sci-fi TV series really need a parody? With their cheesy sets, cheesy dialogue and cheesy costumes, most of the episodes of "Star Trek," "Battlestar Galactica" and "Lost in Space" were big slices of cheddar unto...

Pros: nice special effects, very entertaining, wide appeal, very funny
Cons: minor plot holes, combat scenes really don't hold up well

All too often movies appeal to a very small audience. This is one movie I can actually recommend for the whole family.

With the classic Spaceballs themes in the air this movie goes to work, poking fun at all sorts of TV aspects. This really...
