Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

This is the kind of films that are missing today. Family oriented yet smart and hugely entertaining. Galaxy Quest is about a cast of a space opera television series- long past their prime, who get abducted by aliens who happen to be a huge fan of their show. Revealing anything else would be spoiling the fun but this is a must watch for fans who love anything science fiction or comedy. Also look at that star cast. 8/10 (Sweet Sigourney never looked hotter; Allen and the tragically departed Rickman never funnier).

This is a somewhat entertaining parody movie with some good performances. Its pretty funny and entertaining and I'd recommend it. It is a bit stupid though, but enjoyable.

Galaxy Quest is a comedy sci-fi film directed by Dean Parisot. I have done my research and I realized that this movie is basically a satire on science fiction/fantasy movies like Star Trek. I am not too familiar with Star Trek franchise. Probably that is the reason why I did not find Galaxy Quest as entertaining as some of the people have. However, I did like parts of it and some of the jokes worked for me.First of all, I want to give my view of some of the cast members and the characters. Tim Allen, who plays the main character of the movie was good enough but I have seen the same performances from him another 5 times at least and they are not that funny. Sigourney Weaver was decent and she looked nice. Although, this was not one of the main characters, for me Sam Rockwell's character Guy was the most entertaining one. The scenes in which he thinks that he will die because he is not the part of the Galaxy Quest team are hilarious. Sam Rockwell really shines in the movie despite the fact that he doesn't have too much screen time. On a side note, I want to say that for the movies like Moon, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind and Seven Psychopaths, Sam Rockwell became one of my favorite actors working today.The thing that I liked about Galaxy Quest was set design. The filmmakers of parodies usually do not take much time in making beautiful sets. However, this one was good to say the least. The scenes where the action takes place in other planet are beautiful. You can see that there was a lot effort put into those sets. I would not be surprised if the movie would have gotten Oscar nomination for it.The main problem I have with Galaxy Quest is that a lot of the jokes fall flat for me. I want to repeat – FOR ME. Everybody has a different comedy taste. As I said, I might did not get some of the jokes because I did not understand the references but, for example, the joke of Sigourney Weaver's boops was used over and over again and it was not funny at all. Also, Alan Rickman always being rude and emotionless, was that supposed to be funny? Watch Tim Allen 8 years later in Wild Hogs, he gives the exact same performance.All in all, Galaxy Quest was a huge disappointment for me. It had a few good scenes but that was not enough to make me feel good about watching this movie. I am a big science fiction fan but Galaxy Quest clearly was not made for me. Arguably, the year 1999 were one of the best in film's history and this movie would not be anywhere near my Top 10 of the year. I know, I sound very negative but I just don't understand how this movie contributed so much, that it is considered for the movie classes when there are so much more great science fiction films.

This movie should be in the canon of movie classics, at least in the sci-fi genre. So many great character actors with an interesting (if rather derivative plot -- but it's a spoof with a twist, so that should be expected). Tim Allen nails the main character and so many others, Alan Rickman as others have mentioned, and Sigourney Weaver in a comical tone, deliver fine performances. It's worth watching multiple times as you're bound to have missed something along the way. Ultimately, it's a feel-good sci-fi without cursing (at least in the expurgated current version) and hardly any gore and a minimum of violence. The visual effects don't look wildly dated either. A great movie!
