Galaxy Quest (DVD 2001)

'Galaxy Quest' couldn't be better. It's not a mockumentary, it's not a Star Trek parody. It's pure comedy based on the Star Trek legend with excellent actors and absolutely brilliant production.

The visuals are magnificent. You would expect nothing but mediocre stuff for a space comedy, but this is not the case with 'Galaxy Quest'. These are the best effects for a space movie, since 'Starship Troopers'!

The story is also very original and interesting. Not only jokes on thin air, but a great story nonetheless. The triumphant ending is beautiful, it elevates you! In fact, it would easily compete with the some of the best Star Trek stories of all time.

Don't miss it!

A great spoof of sci fi films like star trek. A great story and hilarious in places. a film that you can watch over again. Brilliant characters and aliens. Excellent

I've had this film on video for years. Now getting rid of the VHS machine and couldn't bear to be without this wonderful film. It is the most accurate spoof of the Star Trek genre and the geeky weird world inhabited by its most dedicated fans.

The movie is about the washed-up stars of a fictional 1978–1982 TV series called Galaxy Quest. On the show, the actors played the crew of a spaceship, the NSEA Protector. In a bizarre twist of fate, they are recruited by aliens who believe that their fictional adventures were real.

Don't miss Tim Allen (as the chisel-jawed commander), Alan Rickman (as the 'Spock' character in a rubber wig) and Sigourney Weaver (as a blonde, busty bombshell in a tight suit) in this feelgood movie.

This is great film for Sci-Fi lovers and those who are not so keen!
Great acting and plenty of tongue in cheek!
Actors from a 20 year old Star-Trek-type series make money when and where
they can by appearing at conventions for die-hard fans. Dysfunctional and
at eachother's throats most of the time, they begrudge their 'Captain's' fame until he is approached by real Aliens who request help - believing the 'crew' to be their only hope of survival! Crazy capers ensue!
I love this film. It's different, has great humour and I personally LOVE
Alan Rickman's character - dry and sarcastic and bored to death of repeating
the same line time and time again for his fans!

I HAD SEEN THIS FILM A FEW YEARS AGO AND KNEW I HAD TO HAVE A COPY OF IT. IT DIDN'T DISAPOINT EITHER. ALAN RICKMAN AND SYGOURNY WEAVER TOGETHER? ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE CAST THEY MADE A VERY VERY FUNNY ROMP THROUGH SPACE.
THE BEST THING ABOUT BUYING A DVD ON EBAY THOUGH, IS GETTING IT DELIVERED TO YOUR DOOR FOR A PURCHASE AND POSTAL PRICE THAT IS STILL MUCH LESS THAN YOU'D PAY IN A SHOP JUST TO BUY. AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO TRAIPSE AROUND THE TOWN CENTER.

So wanted to view the film again and love the humour. Am I sad or?????? Who cares I have the DVD and when we get there with space technology I have the DVD.... CONFUSED??? So am I!

Great film for adults and children alike, the effects are great as is the line up of actors. I can whole heartedly recommend this film as I've had to buy it on dvd due to myself and our 7 year old wearing out the video cassette version!!

Sigourney Weaver as Gwen, a bimbo if you can imagine it. Totally Wow !!!!!
Tim Allen, Alan Rickman ,play two totally beleveable and wonderful characters

My son and I love Sci-Fi and we had seen the film on TV once. We thought it was really funny. So when my son said he would like to have the film on DVD I looked for it on Ebay.

I first saw this film a couple of years ago and lost it to my ex. As a life long fan of Star Trek and the ilk, I fell in love with the film after just a few minutes. It is a total mickey take out of any television sci-fi series.

Wonderful performances from Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver and Alan Rickman just add to the enjoyment.

Take pretty much any sci-fi cliche and it is here. Fantastic special effects, far better than you would expect from a comedy film... almost worthy of Star Wars!

If you still aren't quite sure I would recommend taking a risk. You won't regret it!!

I bought this film for the fact that I wanted to give it as a present.
I took a week to arrive. This worried me as I thought I was not going to be able to give the present in time.
However, it did arrive and I got an apology for the wait.
The seller gave me a reason for the wait: he was moving house. Due to the other feedback scores on his area, I'm not sure wether this is true or not. But I have taken it on board as true for now and left him positive feedback.
Thankyou for the item but PLEASE for your own good, send it quicker in future.

The price was fine, as for my item. I purchased from this seller after reading the feedback. I do not deal with anybody that has been giving neg feedback. I also read what has been left by previous buyers

This is the best spoof ever. I love SciFi in general and Star Treck in particular and just loved the humour and insanity of it all. Ms Weaver does a wonderful send up of herself - and if you love scifi and have a sense of humour you will LOVE this one. A*********

A must for sci-fi fans and an enjoyable film for all. Brougth the film after seeing an advert for it on sky and was well worth the gamble.

Haven't laughed so much for years. Alan Rickman was particular good with his comedy character. Clean humour for all the family.

Galaxy Quest is a spoof but very well done. I have watched it several times. Very good story, very funny, top stars. The idea of TV stars saving a planet. Very good.

A top quality film, especially for fans of sci-fi movies as it is the ultimate take on such genres. Tim Allen is excellent in the lead role, with great performances from both Sigorney Weaver and Alan Rickman. It has to be one of my favourite films of all times!

I lent my copy of Galaxy Quest to a friend, and never got it back! So a replacement was a must. Both my husband and I adore this film. It's funny and clever and doesn't take itself seriously. It's a great film. I love the characters, and would have loved to see more of each of them. The concept of a bunch of actors actually managing to save the Thermians is brilliant, as is the depiction of the "fans" of the show. I've never yet made it to a convention, but it's exactly how I think it would be.

This film is just a fab way of spending a Friday Evening. It doesn't require any thinking, just turn it on, and pass a couple of hours. 10 out of 10.

Galaxy Quest is fantastic - not just a spoof on Star Trek (with excellent actors) but a good story in its own right. Maybe they should recast Star Trek and start again!

Saw this film a while ago on a plane back from San Francisco - quite an entertaining way to lose an hour or two. It works on the premise "what if someone saw "Star Trek" (or similar) and believed it was real. A group of ex "stars" in a long defunct SciFi series are approached by such Aliens. It takes them time to realize they are the real thing and leads to them realizing saying the words and twiddling the false knobs is not the same thing. A great example is them trying to leave the space station and ruining the paintwork on the space ship. The whole ensemble are great even down to the "ensign" who is always the one to get killed when landing on strange planets.Sigourney Weaver is the crumpet who just repeats the captain's orders and has certainly built up her part (or should I say cleavage). A nice touch is the involvement of a group of teenage anoraks who know their way around this ficticious space ship. Even though its a theme on a one joke premise I loved the whole thing - a real space romp done with some style and wit.

this is a great film to be watched with tongue in cheek, it is really laugh out loud funny in places. great film

The entire cast milked every cliché superbly. Rickman was supreme, is there a film where he doesn't steal the show? Tim Allen at his 'home Improvement' best, Sigourney very animated just for once, not to mention sexy! the minor actors supported the 'stars' excellently. What's more to say, see the film, it knockc spots off any other send up I've ever seen.
