Knowledge is knowing that Galaxy Quest is not a Star Trek film. Wisdom is knowing that Galaxy Quest is the best Star Trek fillm.

The greatest achievement of this movie is that there is no malice in it. It would have been so easy to make an ugly mockery of SciFi fans or focus on some of the uglier aspects of the original Star Trek cast, but they avoided all of that and turned it into a genuine homage.

I never get tired of Galaxy Quest. It has one of the best ensemble casts of all time, and Alan Rickman's performance was beyond perfect.

"Let's get out of here before one of those things kills Guy!"

Man, there was no one like Alan Rickman. I miss that guy.

Thank you so much for this. One of my favourites, and you can never ever go wrong with Alan Rickman.

“By Grabthar’s hammer....What a savings..” Edit: This has got to be one of my favorite reactions ever. So much fun🙂

If you watch the original StarTrek, Captain Kirk seemed to get his shirt ripped off on like every other episode.

You can tell Sigourney Weaver dubbed her line “Well Screw That!” in order to get a pg13 rating.

Alan Rickman wearing the head throughout the entire movie is one of the funniest things ever.

This movie is a hilarious but honest paean to the science fiction fan community (or at least as it was at the time). The heroes of the story are the fans who believe in the values presented by the show, both the fans on Earth and the fans in space. The extremity of their fandom is their strength. It's one of my most re-watchable movies.

They managed to cram every Star Trek trope ever written into this movie. It's a gem and greater than the sum of it's parts. Don't forget, Sigourney Weaver starred in the greatest alien movie ever made. ❤ Thank you for the video!

One of my favorite movies ever. When Alexander performs the line for real it makes my cry every time.

Sigourney Weaver looks absolutely stunning in Galaxy Quest, totally drop-dead gorgeous. It's hard to believe that she was already 50 years old by the time this film came out back in 1999.

"Uh guys? There's a red thingy moving towards a green thingy. I think we're the green thingy..."

Fun Fact: The scene where Tim Allen's character overhears the fans trash talking him, especially when mentioning that his castmates seriously dislike him was based on an actual occurrence that happened to William Shatner

Ironically, when Sarris massacres the crew in the bad timeline/choice before Jason activates the Omega 13, Guy is the ONLY ONE who isn't killed. I love this movie so much. So many great lines, fun scenes and I love that their adventures brought the group together and made them continue the series of "Galaxy Quest".

You reacted to Galaxy Quest? You absolutely get a half hour of my life, and a like. Cheers

The deal with Jason's shirtlessness is that in the original Star Trek (which I'm sure you'll discover as you watch it), more often than not, when Captain Kirk got into a fight or a very strenuous physical situation, his shirt would inevitably develop rips or tears or even end up torn off altogether. He usually ended up showing some skin, in other words. Thus Dane's snark, "I see you managed to get your shirt off," a line that every Trekkie in the audience understood. :D

"Give him a hand....he's British!"

Sir Patrick Steward Picard wasnt interested to watch lt when it came Through but Jonathan Frankes call him and told him so he agreed and He was laughing the Entire movie because its Startrek and other Scifi Fandom as well

I love Galaxy Quest with a burning passion. Truly *the* definitive love letter to nerd culture, that isn't so biased it won't poke fun at times.

The scene where Daryl Mitchell runs the ship into the wall when they're trying to take off is still one of the funniest movie moments ever for me. 😂

If "favorite film" can be defined as "the film you put on whenever you want to watch something but don't know what", then this is my favorite film. It has everything in such perfect proportions that I consider it the best Star Trek film ever made. So many great performances from great actors, with so many layers to the characters, and everyone clearly having the most fun they've ever had at work. An instant classic. :)

This is one of the most genuinely wonderful and heartwarming films ever made. Endlessly quotable. Unlike so many cheap and nasty parodies that seem to have contempt for their material and audience, it really felt like it was made with both skill and affection. RIP, Alan Rickman.

Classic "Hero's Journey" when done right never fails to make an enjoyable story. Fun fact: The bridge set for the "real" Protector was built on an enormous gymbal with hydraulic rams that could slam it up, down, side to side (round and round, dip it now) in any direction using a joystick that the director used. So there was no camera shake to simulate all those missile and mine hits, and all the actors are really trying to hold on to a set that's shifting, bucking and slamming around underneath them.

My wife and I will still drop "The miners not the minors!" And "You have a last name." "DO I? DO I?"

My mom used to take me to Star Trek conventions when I was little. The convention atmosphere in this movie is very accurate! This movie has many inside jokes that only Star Trek lovers will understand. Like “By Grabthar’s hammer . . .” line relates to the “Live long and Prosper” line. Also, you could almost always tell who was going to die by what they were wearing. And many, MANY more! Thanks for reacting to this!!

This is literally one of the most wonderful movies ever made. Glad to see you getting into original Trek.

At the time of release, there was a Galaxy Quest promotional web page that was in the form of an amateurishly designed fanboy's page celebrating the original series, gushing over the stars, and including a hilarious episode summary. It was brilliant.

On the DVD you could switch the audio track and watch the entire movie dubbed in Thermian

Alexander: Could they be the miners? Fred: Sure, they're like three years old. Alexander: MINERS, not MINORS. Fred: You lost me. 😂

"Don't open that! It's an Alien planet! Is there air?!?! You don't know!" - Guy

I love how you know EVERY actor without ever seeing the film! That is a talent! Great reaction, catching just about everything on the first viewing.

This movie is amazing; the perfect homage to fans of Star Trek with an amazing cast. My mom was a huge Star Trek fan, so when I first saw this movie, I knew I had to show it her. She absolutely loved it! It became one of our new favorite movies and I wish she was here so could watch it together again.

"Is there air, you don't know!?"

One of the best Star Trek films. This is basically a What If Shatner and the other main actors of TOS were picked up by aliens. I love it. RIP Alan Rickman, who was also in Robin Hood / Die Hard & Dogma. PS, Try Babylon 5 tv series for a replacement for The Expanse.

I didn't realize until after watching the movie that Tony Shaloub's character was stoned the entire time.

The closest thing to a perfect movie there is.

I'm really glad you found this movie. I saw this in the theatres and personally I think it's terribly underrated. Wall to wall laughs and a genuinely good time.

Thanks for posting this. Spent many years trying to tell people how good this was and got allot of eye rolls. Clearly everyone kills in this but Shalhoub’s carefree groovy vibe and Rockwell’s fear of insignificance are masterful. Sam’s delayed scream of horror after the aliens show their true form and step away is a fav scene. 🤣

Your smile and laughter are wonderful, Alanda. Keep it up! :-)

This is one of my favorite movies. Alan Rickman just kills it for me. He's so good. Everyone was great in this movie!

20:45 ish "Why is he shirtless, was he a sex symbol?" It's a reference to Kirk from star trek who always seemed to manage to lose his shirt... well, this youtube vid says he did it about 20% of the time: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m56dmtmIuZqshac.html

One really funny detail is that Sigourney Weaver's character is clearly saying "Fuck that" when they find the pistons. This movie was meant to be rated R but the studio made it change to PG-13 so they did ADR to make it screw that. Love this movie so much

It's a classic!!! This, Spaceballs, and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy are the best Sci-fi romps.

I'm so glad you reviewed this. This is Hands Down the funniest scifi movie ever!!! I'm a huge Star Trek fan too, so every single moment resonated with me! And yeah, I think Fred is high throughout the entire film!

a few tidbits: Sigourney Weaver lost her shirt during a deleted scene and "Jason Nesbith" is a homage to the name Hanna (the neighbor little girl) gave Buzz Lightyear [voiced by Tim Allen] when she played dolls with him: Missus Nesbith.

So many people (myself included) absolutely love this movie, that it does their hearts good to know you love it as well. It kind of validates their love for this movie.

I didn't see anyone else mention this, so apologies if it has been mentioned. Sigourney's shirt being unzipped was from a deleted scene where she distracted an alien until it could be crushed in the door.

26:41 This is the first time Alexander Dane *meant* the words that he hated having to say for years!

Fun Fact: Sigourney Weaver loved her wig so much from the movie she swiped it off the set after filming was done and she still has it! Also: his shirt being off was a reference to Captain Kirk trying to have his shirt off in the original series as often as he could.

It’s hilarious how many Star Trek actors love this movie and how faithful it is

“Look, I have one lousy job on this stupid ship but, I’m going to do it, ok?! “ Snaps all around!

You had to know the show was good if for nothing else, the awesome Sigourney Weaver signed on to play the "Busty Bimbo" of the show. Just the fact that she played that role made this movie awesome. I love it when an actor doesn't take themselves too seriously and can make fun of themselves. I find that's what makes a good actor into a great actor.

"I love Star trek Discovery, thats the only ST i've seen" Ouch! that hurts. But Galaxy Quest is brilliant. Alan Rickman, Sigourney Weaver, Missi Pyle, Sam Rockwell & Tony Shaloub were killin it.

Alanda : "I love watching CGI from the '90's" Barely the '90's It was released on virtually the end of 1999 (Christmas day)

So they had to cut it, but there's still subtle bits of it, but Tony Shaloub's character is supposed to be really high the entire movie. Also, the command deck was built on giant hydraulic actuators, so when they're being thrown around while being attack, they are *really* being thrown around.

"That's a lot of black wigs." XD

This will always be part of the great pantheon of Star Trek films among Trek fans.

Your video popped up in my KZfaq recommendations - I’m glad I clicked. I really enjoyed your reaction

Wonderful reaction. I'm impressed that you edited so well to include so many of the one-liners and references that we who know the show would be looking for. 😁

First line after hearing aliens speak: Ma’am seek help!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂👍👍👍

I absolutly love your laugh. Made me smile each and everytime

"Who wants the tour?" "AUUUUGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH"

Great choice. Great reaction. Great sweater.

when this first came out, one of my older cousins got me this as a pirated copy, filmed in the cinema somewhere and as much as I loved the movie - like would let the VHS rewind replay itself over and over again love it - the best part for me was during the credits, the guy filming gets up from his seat and starts to walk out and all of a sudden trips and you can hear roll down every single fuckin step, funniest bloody thing ever XD

Seriously one of my favourite films! Thanks for reacting to it, absolutely loved that you loved it! 😁😁😁

Saw this in the theaters, still a classic. Holds up over time, and super funny.

If you rewatch the scene of Sigourney Weaver getting upset over the ridiculousness of the corridor full of chompers. You can see that she actually says 'Fuck that' but I guess they wanted to reduce the film rating so she's ADR'd saying 'Screw that' instead, despite how obvious it is.

Awesome Film. Sam Rockwell steals every scene

Oh my goodness. I had so much fun watching you react to this video. So much nostalgia.

Alexander Dane can sit still and do nothing, which triggers the automatic laugh anyway. By Grabthar's hammer, I totally love him!

This is one of the best reactions I've ever seen. Raw, visceral, and on point. And the movie is a classic. I've lost count of how many times I've rewatched it. I'm glad you liked it.

THAT was fun! 😁 Thank you for sharing your reaction with us.

It was so fun watching these highlights with you! It takes a lot of people a long time to conceive of the premise here, but you got it out of the gate. I grinned and mentally hi-fived you from the first scene. I'm sharing this and endorsing you on FB as of now. Kudos!

My favorite spoof of sci fi and also spot on about conventions.

Sigourney Weaver has so many good roles, though these days it seems like her Science Fiction Roles get the most attention. Her historical role as Dian Fossey in "Gorillas in the Mist" is well worth seeing. Very different than Ripley or this but still excellent and heroic. And one of my Alan Rickman roles was is the little known "Dogma."

One of my fav movies.. I watched the vhs so much it got shredded in the vcr as a kid.. bringing the nostalgia that needed to b given.. thanx love!!!

I always watch this whenever it is on and still laugh at the campiness and fun.

Girl we have the same kind of humor, I laughed at the same things you did. You'd be fun to hang with.

now that they knew who their biggest fans were, they took their parts a lot more seriously for the return of the show! LOL

The funny thing is its confirmed that an actual Galaxy Quest TV series is in the works now with many characters reprising their roles.

What a fantastic reaction. Really enjoyed you getting to experience that. Galaxy Quest has been described as a love letter to the fan community, and I'd agree. So much love in this film for the original Star Trek and the fandom that loved it. The original series is most referenced here, but there is so much more to enjoy.

Wow, yes, please do more movies, that was really fun! I first saw this movie in the theater and I went in completely blind. I had no idea what the genre even was, I was just last-minute tagging along with my friends who were going. I was blown away by how good it was. Someone in the comments suggested Battlestar Galactica (the one from 2004, not the one from 1978) and I second it. And after that, there's a one-season series spin-off called Caprica that's also amazing.

The “shirt off” scene is an homage to Captain Kirk, William Shatner

One of my favorite movies. Love each and every person who reviews this! And I get to see new reviewers!

I haven’t seen this in 13 years, thank you!

It is one of my favorites. It is just a fun movie that you smile through the whole thing.

I am so glad you liked this. 👍🏽

I love your channel! Thank you for watching and reacting to one of my favorite films!

You've done a great reaction video here: laughed in all the right places, emotional in all the right places, and a wonderful commentary (I almost *died* at "MA'AM. Get some help...") I've watched quite a few GQ reaction videos and yours is definitely the best. And I love love LOVE the fact that you made a point to watch some original Star Trek episodes beforehand.

Great choice and great reaction! Thank you and keep it up!

The "I see you managed to get your shirt off" quip was a dig at William Shatner, who either took off, lost or had his shirt torn in about 20 to 25% of the episodes. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m56dmtmIuZqshac.html Guy's line about trying to build a rudimentary lathe was a joke about the Trek episode "Arena", the one where Kirk fights a lizard called a Gorn, and uses the elements he finds around him to build a rudimentary cannon.

This is a family favorite. We watch with the kids about once a year. Loved your reaction.

“I think it's a chillingly realistic documentary. The details in it, I recognized every one of them. It is a powerful piece of documentary filmmaking. And I do believe that when we get kidnapped by aliens, it's going to be the genuine, true Star Trek fans who will save the day. ... I was rolling in the aisles. And Tim Allen had that Shatner-esque swagger down pat. And I roared when the shirt came off, and Sigourney rolls her eyes and says, "There goes that shirt again." ... How often did we hear that on the set?” - George Takei “I thought it was very funny, and I thought the audience that they portrayed was totally real, but the actors that they were pretending to be were totally unrecognizable. Certainly I don't know what Tim Allen was doing. He seemed to be the head of a group of actors, and for the life of me I was trying to understand who he was imitating. The only one I recognized was the girl playing Nichelle Nichols.” - William Shatner

There's a documentary for Galaxy Quest called "Never Surrender" which is great. The other great sci-fi parody is Spaceballs. The spiritual predecessor to The Expanse really seems like Babylon 5. It's a big commitment to react to it though. Would be interesting if you did, but if you haven't seen it even just watching it on your own would be good. Lastly, I've never seen a reactor do a fiction podcast. If you want to try it, check out the story Sparg on, I think, EscapePod. It's a story I heard years ago and it just stays with me.

Sigourney Weaver just gets hotter and hotter!

this came across my public feed and I loved your enthusiastic reaction to this and just subscribed..looking forward to more posts and great job keep up the good work

I saw this in the theater. I loved Star Trek and this movie was a hidden gem. Loved it when I saw it.
