The greatest cinematic line delivery was by master of his craft Alan Rickman. “By Gramthar’s Hammer…what a savings.” You can feel the anguish, shame, humiliation in Alexander Dane’s life distilled into that one phrase.
Well, obviously, the weakness of the rock monster is a really large sheet of paper. Fashioning it from locally sourced materials would prove challenging, however.
Funnily enough, Alan Rickman did have beef with Tim Allen during the filming. He felt like he was immature and annoying. But he respected his scene when he confessed to Mathesar in the interrogation scene, because Tim had to recover in his trailer from what Rickman described as experiencing actual "acting".
understandable, Alan Rickman from what i think i read on him, he came from theater to work in the movie industry. whereas Tim Allen came from more humble beginnings, who'd want to be overshadowed by someone they felt was less capable. but as Tim said in that one scene, "The Show Must Go On."@@Daniel092004
As Jonathan Frakes tells it, (Commander Riker from TNG), the Star Trek cast at the time went to see this movie and everyone absolutely loved it. The only one who was afraid to be parodied was Patrick Stewart but he eventually saw it and thought it was brilliant.
One of my all time favorite films, it's just a big love letter to Star Trek. So good and funny.I've lost track how many times I have rewatched this over the years.
I wouldn't say true Trek, but its definitely a good analysis of the SHOW Star Trek and its actors. But it is definitely a parody, based on the definition of the word. It isn't satire, but for sure parody.
@@adamskeans2515 Parody: a humorous or satirical imitation of a serious piece of literature or writing: I'm fairly certain this is a "humorous imitation of a serious piece of work" You're thinking of satire. Parody can involve satire but is not always satirical.
I watched an interview of Patrick Stewart where he was asked if he had seen "Galaxy Quest". He said that many people had suggested/recommended/begged him to see the movie and he absolutely refused because he had lived it and wanted nothing more to do with it. Eventually, he gave in and saw the movie and had the best time, laughing the whole way through because it was so true to life.
I love this movie so much! A hilarious Trekkie love letter, and even though it doesn't take itself seriously, it also isn't afraid to have emotional moments that actually land. One of my favorite subtle jokes of the movie is that the Thermians also realized that Gwen's job was just "repeat computer", and they literally programmed their ship with that in mind. She has to be the one to give it instructions. Other people ask it questions, but the computer just ignores it until she repeats it.
Gwen said backstage at the convention that repeating the computer was her only job. On the Thermian ship, the computer only answers to HER voice, that's why it didn't answer any of Jason's questions.
The scene in the bathroom where Tim Allen hears the people talking about him was a true story taken directly from an experience William Shatner had at a Stat Trek convention.
Some of the continuity errors can probably be explained by how much they re editted it to drop the rating and make it more family friendly. There's a whole scene that explains why Weavers' top is suddenly open. She also says 'f that' but it's dubbed over with 'screw that' Also the engineer er deck sergant chen i think he's called is supposed to be stoned through the whole thing which explains why he's so chill about everything and eating all the time.
I always automatically fast forward like a minute because reactions usually have an intro, then I realize this is the no BS Logical reaction channel and there is no intro, and I rewind 😂
Absolutely brilliant and hilarious! Any sci-fi fan can find something funny about this. The chemistry with the casting was also perfect. Glad you watched this! 😎👍
You trying to rationalize this is absolutely the reason I subbed to this channel, bro. Fucking fantastic reaction lol. This is one of my absolute favorite movies ever made.
Speaking of the people from the series that always die, you should check out: Redshirts (originally titled Redshirts: A Novel with Three Codas) is a postmodern science fiction novel, by John Scalzi that satirizes Star Trek. The high-ranking officers try to figure out why so many "redshirts" die on away missions and how they can recruit more...
A great reaction for anyone thats a Trekkie or SW fan. Used to love going to San Diego Comic Con 10+ years ago till it started selling online tickets and selling out before i was notified. Now it's about movies and cosplay. Glad i was apart of it when it was about comics. To give reference. I went when Aeon Flux was a thing as well as got to meet Jason Mewes and kevin Smith when they came out with Strikes back.
I have always questioned the scaping the side of the ship because of the wing. You are the first reactor I have seen mention that inconsistency ❤ I can't remember the name but there is a video on UA-cam about the making of this film. Truly a one of a kind live letter to Star Trek.❤ As always thank you specifically kind sir for your reaction.❤😊❤
The only way to explain it away is that it was still flying forward and not to the side but got angled up to the side a bit and scratched it that way which would mean the ship has a giant gyro in it to move the ship 960 degrees any direction without changing the direction of its destination, and so he first applied a forward direction energy, then let off the gas and somehow tilted the ship with the gyro control. Now is that what happened? Probably not but it technically is possible.
As I understood the Wing Scraping Continuity was intentional. Another way to poke a little fun at Star Trek. It is similar to in one episode of TOS Shatner is in a fight and the left side of his uniform shirt is ripped and hanging down revealing his chest... the very next shot it is on the right side.
I absolutely love that you reviewed this movie! I found it funny that a poll was done, and this movie came in fourth for “Best Star Trek movies.” They even played with the idea of making a sequel before the passing of Alan Rickman.
Did you notice how the engineer was always so calm no mater what? Also how he seemed to be snacking all the time? (How he was late during the first teleport, he was looking for food) - The dude was smoking the good stuff all movie lol
First off, check out the deleted scenes which explain why Sigourney's top is opened up at the end, second watch Sigourney's lips when she sees the chompers she does not say "screw that". Love what you do specially the part when the Limo gets sucked up into space and your face just freezes and I agree when they scrape the ship coming out of the dock the scratches would not be on the main fuselage.
You finally came to this awesome movie, great reaction. Only movie I know which can compete in sci-fi comedy is an Indian movie "PK" (2014). Btw, Guy's last name was mentioned at the mines, when a commander called him Fleegman. This movie deserves so much, but maybe it has bad timing for being released the same year as "The Matrix".
One of the great Star Trek films...Fun fact, Sigourney Weaver liked her blond wig so much she took it with her after the shoot. The actors that come on once and then are killed off are called Red Shirts...unless they are a major guest star, but they usually die too.
I’ve watched this movie dozens of times. A Star Trek and Star Wars fan, I’ve felt that this movie has held up better than some of the stories from those other universes. I’d love a TV series of these characters.
You left out the best part of the story. It's no secret that Tim Allen is a terrible actor and Alan Rickman is an amazing actor. So when Allen turned to the director and said he was having trouble dealing with these feelings and needed to take a break in his trailer, Rickman said, " Oh my god, he's finally experienced acting!"
I love this movie. It is a parodie and a homage to mostly Star Trek but also other scifi series, clichés and fandom. They also reference events like the toilet incident that happened to William Shatner or the boobs article that happened to Jeri Ryan.
This movie is hilarious and awesome all at the same time... the plot was awesome... the whole thing was a trip... and Alan Rickman nailed it... infact all the acting was awesome... from the "actors" playing actors... to the aliens... and the costumes and design were all awesome...
I don't know how many times a friend or family member has asked me to help them with something and my first question is, " Is there any way they can construct a rudimentary lathe ?" Sam Rockwell (Guy) is great in this.
I always thought that the way of traveling long distances in the TV show was through a blackmore.. so the Thermians replicated the aesthetic of a black hole to make it accurate to the show. They just did it enough times until it looked like the show. In my head Canon, they've been receiving these royal documents for millions of years through some querk of timespace
@@chrisnorris7527 I hadn't considered that but the Thermians have a demonstrated ability to make actual technology look like something that isn't plausible but still works anyway. It's as good an explanation as any.
Great movie choice! I grew up watching the original Star Trek and even at age 9, I was puzzled why Uhura repeated what everyone had just heard the computer say. All the small details from the original tv series and the sci-fi conventions is part of what makes this movie a true gem! BTW, glad to see you back.
Great film and as a fellow Trekkie it’s one of my all time favorites. I would recommend watching some of he background and documentary of the making of this film.
The best thing about watching people react to this movie is watching them realize the thermians are real aliens. Interesting because when this movie came out, we all knew the premise from the trailers before seeing the movie.
There are so many fun facts abou this movie. 1. Tech Sgt Kwan is squinting, because the original series was from a time when Hollywood wouldn't cast an Asian, but would rather have a white person play the Asian part (Carredine, KungFu). This was later retconned that he was high instead, after some criticism. 2. Rickman was initially excited to play this role because even though he disliked sci-fi, he found the script funny. 3. There is a scene where Tim Allen truly get's emotional. Rickman is quoted as saying "By God, I think he is experiencing acting." 4. The premise from the bathroom scene was taken from an actual event that happened to William Shatner. 5. Rockwell based his performance on Bill Paxton on Aliens. 6. Rickman absolutely hated making this film, because Tim Allen acted exactly like his character, always late and pompous. And he wasn't method acting. 7. Weaver complaining about the article about her boobs was based something that actually happened to an actress on ST:Voyager 8. Rickman holding his scanner upside down is a tribute to Leonard Nimoy, who often did the same on the first season of ST. 9. The female alien was only added after producers realized Weaver was the only female in the film. 10. Plans for a sequel was shelves after the death of Alan Rickman. The possibility was reignited in 2021 in an interview with Weaver and Allen. There is so much more. This is a film that gives on giving.
I always thought it was funny that the bullies in the bathroom came to a convention based only on Galaxy Quest. If they think it is dumb, then why are they even there?
This movie launched many careers in H’wood. Maybe the first movie for many - Missy Pyle, Justin Long, Rainn Wilson, Francis recruiter in Deadpool, Sam Rockwell’s second roll after Green Mile. 1999 in a single film.
Likely your funniest reaction video yet. Great movie, better reaction, enjoyed it very, very much. Thank you, that was a lot of fun, better than even expected from such a good parody/comedy of sci-fi. Loved it. 👍
I was super into Star Trek in the mid seventies. I went to the conventions and this show was so well done that even real scientist's were consulted. I got a foldup paper blueprint of the entire ship. We did not have online access yet. But that thing they are doing with them guiding them through the ship to get to the core is VERY Star Trek like. These people got everything right about the skymatics.
🎉 Yay!!!!! One of my favorite movies. It’s said to be the best Star Trek film never made. It’s funny, this movie is the first time I realized Tim Allen is actually a really handsome man.
I went to these conventions LONG before it was cool. It was the definition of being a nerd! Haven't been for awhile but have wonderful memories of conventions. If you like Alan Rickman, I am curious how you would view the movie "Dogma." I love the fact that you overthink this stuff even more than I do! And that is saying a lot!
You are SO serious, man. 😁 I'm enjoying your journey into the silliness of this movie. 🤣 🤔 as I recall, you were serious in another comedy too. 😁 Delightful! 💜
Im going to leave a quote form Jonathan Frakes (Commander Riker STTNG). "I was at the CineramaDome in LA, and I saw it on a Saturday morning, or Saturday matinee. As I got out of the movie the first thing I did was call Patrick, who was in Toronto, I think, shooting X-Men. I said, “Dude, I just saw a movie that is about us and captures us like they’ve been reading our mail.” Patrick saw it that night. Then went again on the Sunday. And it was, I mean, some of the stuff in it is so on the nose and so accurate, and perfect, and funny. And Rickman. Rickman with the peeling makeup. Stuff that LeVar’s character does. I mean, it’s a favorite. I don’t know why that sequels never been made. I gather it’s encumbered with a lot of people who need money before they even shot, but this seems rife for a remake." Such an amazing movie. It is a love letter to the show and the fans. From what I understand, the bathroom scene is based on something that happened to Shatner. You need to watch "Never Surrender: A Galaxy Quest Documentary" about how it got made.
The cephalopod brain is an enigma to us mammals. We really have no idea what their consciousness is like; I would bet that octopus, squid, and cuttlefish have a sense of self and an awareness of their abilities that they use to survive that we would call consciousness.
Tim wakes up from a drunken stupor while nursing a hangover see the greatest thing ever.. dont realize a bit of it is real till he flew thru space hahahaha
7:00 I am now imagining this scene happening at Mr Lboyd's house... in Murika, not spain. Aliens: Weee need your help. Mr Lboyd: So anyway I started blastin'
At one of the big cons, San Diego I believe, in an open vote for the best Star Trek movie, this movie came in number five as a write-in campaign. So it has largely been considered one of the top 5 Star Trek movies ever since. Some of the interviews with Star Trek actors about seeing this movie were interesting, especially TNG people. Personally I think it's an amazing premise for a LARP. That would be a hoot, like, during a con, so meta. Once it got around, everybody would be in on it.
Recent studies have shown that oxygen levels were actually lower when the dinosaurs were alive than they are today. 11-15 percent for the dinosaur era vs 21 percent today.
Other than the obvious "screw that" dub. One reason her shirt is suddenly open is a cut scene where she distracted the guards by showing a little skin. The movie is a really great analysis of OG Star Trek. Shatner was known to have quite the ego and Nemoy was a classically trained actor and the result of the role seemed....less than classical work.
In the original Trek show the budget was almost non existence so they decided to make up this way of transportation as a solution to the problem. It was kind of a last minute type of thing. This show lasted 2 season's and when it was to be cancelled thousands of people wrote in and protested it so much that they kept it on for 1 more year. After that they began doing Star Trek Conventions and those actors were all pigeonholed into that character forever and the actors hated that. Eventually the popularity won out especially when Star Wars happened in 1977 and went viral for the day. It was an open door to bring ST back through the way of films instead of television. Galaxy Quest is a comedy homage to that time before that world was officially redeemed on a global scale

Sam is a gem.
One of my all time favorite films, it's just a big love letter to Star Trek. So good and funny.I've lost track how many times I have rewatched this over the years.
Even the most hardcore Trek fans say this isn't just a parody, its true Trek! It's probably one of my fav comical scifi movies ever.
Knowledge is knowing that Galaxy is not a Star Trek movie. Wisdom is knowing it's the best Star Trek movie.
I wouldn't say true Trek, but its definitely a good analysis of the SHOW Star Trek and its actors. But it is definitely a parody, based on the definition of the word. It isn't satire, but for sure parody.

Never caught that. Thanks.
This movie is such an underrated gem. Hilarious, so much fun to watch, and it's just the right amount of poking fun without being disrespectful.

You are the 1st reactor to say what I've said for years, that the 'wing" of the Protector would have hit the station before the bow would have.
One of the best fan fiction trek films ever. A fan fiction that is an ode to fans. We love it.
The gilligan's island comment is a great call back. During the original broadcast, People called the US Coast Guard to ask for them to be rescued
their reaction when Gwen mentions it is my favorite bit from this movie. Just perfect.
Some of the continuity errors can probably be explained by how much they re editted it to drop the rating and make it more family friendly.

Also the engineer er deck sergant chen i think he's called is supposed to be stoned through the whole thing which explains why he's so chill about everything and eating all the time.
Sigourney's obvious dub was deliberately left in as an F That! to the studio.
This is the type of content i specifically like to see! Thank you!
At 16:03, you are the first reactor, out of dozens, to catch the 'wing should be in the way ' problem with this scene.

This movie launched many careers in H’wood. Maybe the first movie for many - Missy Pyle, Justin Long, Rainn Wilson, Francis recruiter in Deadpool, Sam Rockwell’s second roll after Green Mile. 1999 in a single film.
Likely your funniest reaction video yet. Great movie, better reaction, enjoyed it very, very much. Thank you, that was a lot of fun, better than even expected from such a good parody/comedy of sci-fi. Loved it. 👍
I can’t believe people haven’t seen this movie 😊😊😊
I was super into Star Trek in the mid seventies. I went to the conventions and this show was so well done that even real scientist's were consulted. I got a foldup paper blueprint of the entire ship. We did not have online access yet. But that thing they are doing with them guiding them through the ship to get to the core is VERY Star Trek like. These people got everything right about the skymatics.
🎉 Yay!!!!! One of my favorite movies. It’s said to be the best Star Trek film never made. It’s funny, this movie is the first time I realized Tim Allen is actually a really handsome man.
This movie is so much fun!!!
This is such a great sci-fi spoof, so so funny!!😂😂 Enjoyed your reactions!
I went to these conventions LONG before it was cool. It was the definition of being a nerd!
Haven't been for awhile but have wonderful memories of conventions.
If you like Alan Rickman, I am curious how you would view the movie "Dogma."
I love the fact that you overthink this stuff even more than I do! And that is saying a lot!
Thank you so much!!! ❤
as we all know, this is a true masterpiece
When Saris shoots up the bridge crew, only Guy is left unharmed.
You are SO serious, man. 😁
I'm enjoying your journey into the silliness of this movie. 🤣
🤔 as I recall, you were serious in another comedy too.
😁
Delightful! 💜
This is one of my absolute favorite films. Thanks for reacting to it!
Im going to leave a quote form Jonathan Frakes (Commander Riker STTNG). "I was at the CineramaDome in LA, and I saw it on a Saturday morning, or Saturday matinee. As I got out of the movie the first thing I did was call Patrick, who was in Toronto, I think, shooting X-Men. I said, “Dude, I just saw a movie that is about us and captures us like they’ve been reading our mail.” Patrick saw it that night. Then went again on the Sunday. And it was, I mean, some of the stuff in it is so on the nose and so accurate, and perfect, and funny. And Rickman. Rickman with the peeling makeup. Stuff that LeVar’s character does. I mean, it’s a favorite. I don’t know why that sequels never been made. I gather it’s encumbered with a lot of people who need money before they even shot, but this seems rife for a remake."
Such an amazing movie. It is a love letter to the show and the fans. From what I understand, the bathroom scene is based on something that happened to Shatner.
You need to watch "Never Surrender: A Galaxy Quest Documentary" about how it got made.
My favorite reactor watching one of my favorite movies !!!! YAY!!!
The cephalopod brain is an enigma to us mammals. We really have no idea what their consciousness is like; I would bet that octopus, squid, and cuttlefish have a sense of self and an awareness of their abilities that they use to survive that we would call consciousness.
Many of the TNG cast have said how much they love this movie.
i think any sci-fi fan would like this movie.
They are FINALLY working on the tv show for this series. I believe it will be on Amazon.
Better be sarcasm
@@joejeff800I f hope so who in the world would watch diverse female unfunny version of this?
@@joejeff800 Sigourney Weaver is said to be in charge of a new batch of recruits.
Galaxy Quest is unirronically the best Star Trek movie ever made!
Tim wakes up from a drunken stupor while nursing a hangover see the greatest thing ever.. dont realize a bit of it is real till he flew thru space hahahaha
7:00 I am now imagining this scene happening at Mr Lboyd's house... in Murika, not spain.
Aliens: Weee need your help.
Mr Lboyd: So anyway I started blastin'
This movie is fantastic, one of my all time favorites.
Enrico Colantoni = Mathesar came up with the alien speech and walk
At one of the big cons, San Diego I believe, in an open vote for the best Star Trek movie, this movie came in number five as a write-in campaign. So it has largely been considered one of the top 5 Star Trek movies ever since. Some of the interviews with Star Trek actors about seeing this movie were interesting, especially TNG people.
Personally I think it's an amazing premise for a LARP. That would be a hoot, like, during a con, so meta. Once it got around, everybody would be in on it.
Recent studies have shown that oxygen levels were actually lower when the dinosaurs were alive than they are today. 11-15 percent for the dinosaur era vs 21 percent today.
Love this movie.
There's a book by John Scalzi called red shirts that is written from the perspective of the sci-fi trope.
I support you one hundred percent 🎉 glad you are back ❤❤❤❤ 9:15
Other than the obvious "screw that" dub. One reason her shirt is suddenly open is a cut scene where she distracted the guards by showing a little skin.
The movie is a really great analysis of OG Star Trek. Shatner was known to have quite the ego and Nemoy was a classically trained actor and the result of the role seemed....less than classical work.
If you like sci fi comedy I very strongly recommend, Paul, a Simon Pegg/Nick Frost movie.
In the original Trek show the budget was almost non existence so they decided to make up this way of transportation as a solution to the problem. It was kind of a last minute type of thing.
This show lasted 2 season's and when it was to be cancelled thousands of people wrote in and protested it so much that they kept it on for 1 more year. After that they began doing Star Trek Conventions and those actors were all pigeonholed into that character forever and the actors hated that. Eventually the popularity won out especially when Star Wars happened in 1977 and went viral for the day. It was an open door to bring ST back through the way of films instead of television. Galaxy Quest is a comedy homage to that time before that world was officially redeemed on a global scale
