It literally should have been up for legit academy awards! They managed to perfectly blend spoof and homage in a way I have never seen done. Plenty of raunchy, sometimes funny full on spoofs out there but this is different in the best possible way! Chef's kiss
When Gwen asks the Thermians about Gilligan's Island and they respond with "Those poor people..." *I DIED.* And then on the flip-side, who would have thought that having Doctor Lazarus say the "By Grapthar's Hammer" line - with feeling - for the first time, would actually put a lump in your throat? There are so many quotable lines from this. And interestingly, many Star Trek fans put this near the top of their favorite Star Trek movie lists, even though it's not a Star Trek movie.
Enrico Colantoni seriously gives one of the most underrated performance ever: He has to 1) Give exposition 2) Be the front man for an alien race whose goofiness drives the plot 3) Be the anchor for most emotional scene. The scene where he says how they've discovered lies "at some great cost" in a way that's funny but hints at something darker is one of the great tonal balances I've ever seen an actor do.
Fun fact, the way the aliens talk and move is all based on his audition, he used a vocal exercise in which you hit all octaves. Casting and the director when on to show the other actors playing the aliens how the cadance was suppose to go
I love how Alan Rickman delivers his catch phrase with apathy until he says it to the dying alien, then he means it and does it with conviction. Some great acting.
Still to this day my favorite line from this movie is "Lets get out of here before one of those things kills Guy" This was Missi Pyle's first movie, one of the things she remembers is that Alan Rickman would eat lunch with the rest of the cast rather than eat alone in his trailer like most big actors. Sigourney Weaver wore a blonde wig and fake bust, and from what I read she would leave the set wearing them when she could. She also said she started to think like a blonde by the end of the movie. (I think this interview was from the extras on the dvd) Patrick Stewart on Galaxy Quest "I had originally not wanted to see [Galaxy Quest] because I heard that it was making fun of Star Trek and then Jonathan Frakes rang me up and said ‘You must not miss this movie! See it on a Saturday night in a full theatre.’ And I did and of course I found it was brilliant. Brilliant. No one laughed louder or longer in the cinema than I did, but the idea that the ship was saved and all of our heroes in that movie were saved simply by the fact that there were fans who did understand the scientific principles on which the ship worked was absolutely wonderful. And it was both funny and also touching in that it paid tribute to the dedication of these fans."
I'm so glad you posted this. I had heard about Patrick Stewart and that he liked Galaxy Quest, but reading his actual comments were so much better. It was also nice to read the other behind-the-scenes stories during the making of this movie.
Hey Daniel and Sam, another aspect of the move is Alan Rickman’s character realizing how much his character and his performance impacted those around him. --- It's one of the highlights of the movie, it really impacts when he says the line he hates the most. ---- He does it with the most feeling he's ever done, that really hits home.
It mirrors Leonard Nimoy’s experience with the Spock character. After Star Trek ended he tried to distance himself from the role due to typecasting. Over the years he embraced the character and realized what an impact his portrayal made on fans lives and our culture.
Hi Daniel & Samantha!😊 I'm not surprised with this being a re-upload that it is still getting an impressive amount of views after only 30 minutes. This is one of my favorite comedies. Rewatching this one is great. This is rated one of the best Star Trek films ever made, even though it is not technically Trek. Daniel, you should see Sam Rockwell in the film "Moon" (2009). He literally carries that whole film. Great reactions again to one of my favorite comedies, Kids!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏
"Moon" is excellent and it shows how good a sci-fi movie can be even if it has a small-ish budget. It was made for only about 5 million dollars but looks fantastic. Good story too.
This is not just a Star Trek parody - it's a Star Trek tribute and a love letter to the shows, the movies and the fans. Thank you for re-uploading it. Love your videos!
Enrico Colantoni (Mathesar) auditioned for the part with most of the alien quirks (don't think he was responsible for the untranslated Thermian language).- the walk, the clap, the laugh - that's all his doing. The other alien acttors and extras had "alien school" every morning so they'd fit in.
So happy you guys enjoyed this! This film was a "Love letter" to the "Star Trek" franchise and truly stands the test of time. Also, this was one of those movies that was WAY better than anyone expected or thought it ever would be.
You only need to know of Star Trek to enjoy Galaxy Quest. The chompers are from at least three episodes across the various series. Not to mention the rock monster and rudimentary glaive. "THIS EPISODE WAS BADLY WRITTEN!!!!"
Is it? It makes fun of Star Trek TOS, the TOS actors, and ST fans. ST fans have embraced it, but that doesn't mean that it's actually a ST love letter.
This is an all time favorite, it's so much fun, especially for someone to whom the original Star Trek is so familiar. I never tire of seeing it and I've seen it dozens of times. This cast is fantastic as is everything about it.
Galaxy Quest has absolutely everything, amazing cast, great story, it's hilarious without "making fun" of the subject and somehow at the same time deeply emotional - a real gem. If you want to see Sigourney Weaver in yet another role that's again completely different and with Alan Rickman again I would recommend - Snowcake. The role was written with Alan Rickman in mind and it was him to recommend and later bring on board Sigourney - a role I would never-ever could have imagined her and man, was he right. The two mostly cary the whole movie and they crush it. It's not a well known movie and a low budget production but it's great.
If you want Sam Rockwell at his most hilarious check out Seven Psychopaths with Colin Farrell. It's got those Kiss Kiss Bang Bang vibes you want more of.
Movie recommendation for you to react to: SUNSHINE (2007), a very good and underrated sci-fi thriller, with intense moments and good performances, you'll like it
Johnathan Frakes (riker) and Patrick Stewart (Pickard) loved this film. George Takei (sulu) hilariously called it " a chillingly realistic documentary,"
One of my top 25 movies of all time. I’m glad Samantha has finally seen it and enjoyed it. Such fantastic humor and surprisingly tearful heart. Love the channel. Keep up the great work.
Words can't describe, how much I miss Alan Rickman. He was so amazing in Everything. One of my Favs ever and Galaxy Quest is such a good Example. An amazing Loveletter to Fandom.
The opening sequence with the convention was taken from the SNL skit with William Shatner. Y’all should check that out. It’s very funny back when SNL was actually funny. You guys should watch a movie with Justin Long called “Waiting”. Very funny and has a good cast.
It would help to have seen "Star Trek" beforehand, but isn't necessary. However, be aware that the "recent Star Trek movies" take place in an alternate timeline where several fundamental features of "Star Trek" are different, such as, for instance, Captain Kirk's personality, or the Vulcans as players in the Federation.
Daniel, Samantha: I really appreciate you guys going back through your catalogue of videos to periodically re-upload blocked videos. Thank you for the diligence and the extra chance to (re-)enjoy your company for our favorite movies.
So, what did UA-cam object to this time? Welcome back to the best "Star Trek" movie that Paramount didn't make. BBC America broadcast this multilayered drama+comedy movie that marked the transition between Friday night and Saturday morning. "Galaxy Quest" is my "Up On The Roof"/"chase The Blues away" movie: ua-cam.com/video/puM1k-S86nE/v-deo.html Did anyone notice that the ship's computer only talks to "Lt. Tawny Madison"?
For full Sam Rockwell's redemption you have to watch "Three billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri", for which he got an Oscar. Nice reaction, best sci-fi comedy.
Loved the ending where the ship crashes in the convention and what happens after. I got a movie reaction suggestion for you to react to it's one of my favorites, The Final Countdown (1980) The U.S.S. Nimitz goes back to December 6th, 1941. It's filmed on the Nimitz. It's like Top Gun meets Back to the Future.
My wife and I saw this in the theater when it came out in 1999. It was the same year we got married too. This flick was so much fun! And it never gets old either. We laugh so hard every time we happen to watch it. :)
Here's the real question: Who on earth created the ship for the show, that actually 100% worked in space, including using berilium spheres to power the drives, that actually exist outside our explored space. Termites are amongst us!
I always saw this as being a very similar premise as Tropic Thunder. A bunch of actors think they are just doing another job, but end up in way over their heads once they realize things are actually real.
Long before Galaxy Quest, there was Visit to a Weird Planet Revisited, a short story in which William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, and DeForest Kelly, are acting on the Enterprise set at Desilu studios. During a scene in which they are standing on the transporter pads, with beaming effects to be added later, they suddenly find themselves in the transporter room of the real Enterprise, in the future, in space. The story proceeded from there, with a very similar plot line.
Yes, it was more than PG originally. I saw it before it was cut and Fred smokes a bowl through the entire movie and watch Gwen's lips when she says "Forget that!"
Yeah I still get bummed about that line. The original “fuck that” got such a huge laugh when I saw this in the theater for the first time. I hate that even on dvd/blu-ray it’s still edited.
One bit I also loved in this movie was that Tony Shaloub's character is perpetually, obviously mega-baked throughout the entire movie, and no one acknowledges it or comments on it or calls him on it. It's just there.
It's funny how shocked you were by the PG rating because this movie was going to be somewhat grittier and darker. For example, the crash landing was originally going to kill a lot of spectators at the convention, but people would still think it was part of the "show". Another example was in the hallway of crushers, Sigourney Weaver's original line was going to be "Well FUCK that!" because they were aiming for a PG-13 rating, but then they had her ADR her line, and she apparently tried to do a very bad take on purpose to highlight the change. This movie is really funny, but knowing the story behind "Well, s-cu-rue thaaaaat!" makes that particular scene even funnier.
This is my third favorite Star Trek film. The Wrath of Khan, The Journey Home, and then this. That's how much they captured the spirit of what Star Trek was to a lot of people back then.
Was a great movie! Glad to say I saw it in theaters back in 1999 … Extremely happy they never tried a part 2 or a spinoff. Movie stands great on its own.
Hey Daniel and Sam, great reaction. --- This is one of my favorite Star Trek movies I love the concept of turning the Star Trek show into a parody of itself. ----- So many of the characters that are really fun from the termites, with their technological prowess, but the absolutes Innocence. To the self-indulgence of the captain. --------The totally committed crew , to Alan Rickman as the tortured artist, to Sigourney Weaver as the over-sexualized crewmate. The fandom who come in clutch to save the day. --- whst a great job of making fun of itself and the sci-fi genre.
Absolutely adore this movie, and am so glad it's gotten a well-deserved revival these days. Watch "Paul" for another love letter to the scifi genre, that like GQ still manages to be a good movie on its own. If "Galaxy Quest" is a love letter to Star Trek, and scifi fan, "Paul" is a love letter to the alien bit of the scifi genre. It's funny and nerdy, with so many easter eggs and brilliant references. Really hope you'll react to it!
Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that I’m big fan of you guys and you guys make a content keep it up would it be OK if you guys react to Carlitos’s way if you haven’t seen it thank you
This parody of Star Trek is written so that non-fans can enjoy it as well. Not only does it spoof the franchise, but it also pokes fun at the celebrity rumors from the cast members. Knowing what is being spoofed adds layers to the nostalgia value in this respect - from show to bloopers to behind the scenes trivia.
One of my all time favorite movies. A really great moment at the end, that I missed the first few times I watched, is when Sarris shoots everyone, the only person who doesn't get shot is Guy.
the general story is like the three amigos and tropic thunder. actors being believed as the real deal and realizing that their situation is actually real. uh oh.
Hey Daniel and Sam. What movie is complete without an awesome villain as you mentioned the attention to detail with the villain is next level. ------- I totally love the wings on his back and how they flex when he gets angry. -------- What a great movie and a great reaction.
I'd say Galaxy Quest and Tremors are two masterpieces of their genres. Impeccably written with a fun and game cast, both deserve all the praise and cult followings they have. Fav lines, "Whoever wrote this episode should die!" (Galaxy Quest), and "Damn it, listen to me. I'm older and wiser." "Yeah, well you're half right..." (Tremors) 😆
There are some really good comedies you guys are missing. If you want to go old school check out the Abbott and Costello Universal Monster movies. Some other good ones: Both Caddyshack movies, The Man Who Knew Too Little, Scrooged, Airheads, Encino Man, Loose Cannons, Spies Like Us, Shanghai Noon, Rumble In The Bronx, Captain Ron, Overboard (1987), The Secret Of My Success, Doc Hollywood, Johnny Dangerously, Mr. Mom, Multiplicity, Student Bodies, Big Stan, Deuce Bigalow, Big, Joe Vs The Volcano, Money Pit, Better Off Dead, Beverly Hills Cop, Beverly Hills Ninja, Blame It On The Bellboy, Born in East LA, Bubba Ho-tep, Crazy People (1990), Crocodile Dundee, Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead, Adventures in Babysitting (original), Dude Where's My Car, Dutch (1991), Eight Legged Freaks, Free Guy, Harry and the Hendersons, Hero At Large, Idiocracy, Joe Dirt, King Ralph, Knights of Badassdom, Kuffs, Look Who's Talking, Major Payne, Mannequin, My Best Friend Is A Vampire, My Blue Heaven, My Name Is Bruce, My Super Ex-Girlfriend, One Cut Of The Dead, Onion Movie, Police Academy, Porkys (would take a ton of editing though), Ready To Rumble (2000), Real Men (1987), Revenge of the nerds, Serving Sara, Slaughterhouse Rulez, Stay Tuned, Teen Wolf, The Jerk, The Man With Two Brains, The Villain, The Whole Nine Yards, Throw Momma From The Train, Three Amigos, Tommy Boy, Uncle Buck, Walk Like A Man, Weekend at bernies
An absolute classic! Only slightly ruined for me ever since learning how insanely right wing conservative nut job Tim Allen is, but… I’m able to overlook it enough to still enjoy this movie lol
Check out Stephen King's Salem's Lot (1979) A CBS TV two part TV movie from early Nov 1979. With the late David Soul aka Hutch of the Starsky & Hutch buddy cop tv series. He also was a motorcycle cop in Magnum Force/ Dirty Harry II.
You mentioned how good Sarris' costume was. This movie's special effects are from the famed Stan Winston Studio known for such movies as A.I., Aliens, Avatar, Batman Returns, Edward Scissorhands (1990), Invaders from Mars, Iron Man, Jurassic Park series, Pearl Harbor, Predator series, The Terminator series, The Thing (1982), The Time Machine (2002), and War of the Worlds (2005). The ship Protector bridge was even designed to shake making it much more realistic than shaking the camera effects.
Being a Star Trek fan isnt necessary to enjoy this film, but Trekkies will get the parallels as well as the parodies that some non-Trekkies will miss. Fun fact, in the Protector's hull number, NTE-3120, the "NTE" stands for "Not The Enterprise"
When Tim Allen is laying out the plan to get the Barrilium(sp?) Sphere, he actually says Fleegman instead of Guy. It's really quick. I don't know why he does that when the movie pays off the Guy-not-having-a-last-name joke at the end. Kind of an odd choice.
Can you imagine how much MONEY Disney would be rolling in right now, if they'd treated their fans the way the Galaxy Quest makers treated the Trekkies? THIS is the way you make movies for a fan base!
Great review as always @TBR Schmitt? Would you ever consider reacting to a documentary? I think you would love ‘Searching for Sugarman’ A truly amazing story of a musician 👍
I hate to be on the Rickman bandwagon, but many actors could not have sold the character of Dr. Lazarus so well; his utter disdain and hatred of his strapline - "By Grabthar's hammer" - turned into a heartfelt delivery to soothe a dying alien, it's extreme talent. Just a quick compliment - I love your reactions, guys. Keep it up. Don't forget 'Tech Sergeant Chen' - played by 'Fred Kwan' - is played by a white actor. Just something else that adds to the film's enjoyment for me.
About Guy, Sam Rockwell's character. I don't know if you noticed that at the end, everybody got shot, except him! So his fear was not justified, I mean his fear of being an expendable side character who would get killed off first. :-)
To see Tony Shaloub elseswhere you must watch THE SIEGE, also starring Denzel Washington and Bruce Willis! Or if you want to watch his ultimate series, there is always Monk!
Of course, you should do several on that comedy poll, notably Tropic Thunder. Risky Business isn’t really a comedy. I’d add Parenthood to the list. Wayne’s World is a must if you remember the SNL skits.
This movie was so well crafted it stands up in it's own all the SFX is decent and it's just a lovely positive film that is basically star trek (pre 2005)

Alan Rickman was brilliant in this. Great comedic timing on his part.
Yeah I agree Alan Rickman is hilarious it's interesting that he started acting when he was doing Broadway stage acting.
Now this film is how you end not only a year, but also a decade, and most importantly, a century. "Galaxy Quest" is a complete and total masterpiece.
AND a millenium!
OG comment 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

2nd most emotional scene. Quellek's death and Alexander's emotional rebirth in that moment takes it for me.
@@EvelyntMildsame
The movie wouldn't have been what it was without him
Well said Mr Colantoni! Glad to meet you.
I love how Alan Rickman delivers his catch phrase with apathy until he says it to the dying alien, then he means it and does it with conviction. Some great acting.
7:30
This scene cracks me up so much, now that I know Sigourney wasn't told that Sam was going to scream. The look and reaction she makes lmao.
Still to this day my favorite line from this movie is "Lets get out of here before one of those things kills Guy"
This was Missi Pyle's first movie, one of the things she remembers is that Alan Rickman would eat lunch with the rest of the cast rather than eat alone in his trailer like most big actors.
Sigourney Weaver wore a blonde wig and fake bust, and from what I read she would leave the set wearing them when she could. She also said she started to think like a blonde by the end of the movie. (I think this interview was from the extras on the dvd)

@@sgt.blkdog3840 Sam almost teared up as well.
Watching him die inside before saying "By Grabthar's hammer, what a savings"...
It mirrors Leonard Nimoy’s experience with the Spock character. After Star Trek ended he tried to distance himself from the role due to typecasting. Over the years he embraced the character and realized what an impact his portrayal made on fans lives and our culture.

@BodyBeats242What??!! No way! That's so cool!
This is not just a Star Trek parody - it's a Star Trek tribute and a love letter to the shows, the movies and the fans. Thank you for re-uploading it. Love your videos!
Man. Studios have really been hammering these guys lately. Quite a few Re- uploads in the last few weeks.
Seriously! I feel like every reactor I watch is getting hit!

I freaking love this movie. Hope y'all do too lol...so glad y'all loved it. Awesome reaction.

@@jkhooverEven Patrick Stewart and Jonathan Frakes have talked about how much they love this movie and how it pays tribute to the fans.

I remember seeing this as a kid and it's STILL one of my favorite space (spoof) movies. The set and costume design was spot-on.
Never give up, Never surrender. Thanks guys for getting this reaction re uploaded.
R.I.P. Alan Rickman
I loved him so much in this movie. Please watch him in the movie Dogma (1999) from writer/director Kevin Smith.
This is an all time favorite, it's so much fun, especially for someone to whom the original Star Trek is so familiar. I never tire of seeing it and I've seen it dozens of times. This cast is fantastic as is everything about it.

Tim Allen went to infinity and beyond in this movie
Kindly remind the morons in Hollywood of that when they decide to make another Buzz Lightyear movie.
Many forget Tony Shalhoub is in this film. It's easy to see why he was chosen for "Monk."
Tony Shalhoub was in 13 Ghosts (2001) sorta great bad film.
One of my top 25 movies of all time. I’m glad Samantha has finally seen it and enjoyed it. Such fantastic humor and surprisingly tearful heart. Love the channel. Keep up the great work.

This part reminds me of the late great Bill Paxton. "Whatarewe gonna do now man, game over man, GAME OVER."
Probably a nod to that character.
This is the silliest movie that ever made me tear up

Damnit! Another re-upload. I can never remember if I've watched them already.
It's Funny Because i just watched this a couple of days ago. So This will be fun.
Sam Rockwell is hilarious in the film “Gentleman Broncos” - from the same group that did Napoleon Dynamite.
one of the best Star Trek movies ever.....
Supposedly Paramount is working on a series that continues the story.
You guys should watch joe somebody from Tim Allen
Long before Galaxy Quest, there was Visit to a Weird Planet Revisited, a short story in which William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, and DeForest Kelly, are acting on the Enterprise set at Desilu studios.

It's funny how shocked you were by the PG rating because this movie was going to be somewhat grittier and darker. For example, the crash landing was originally going to kill a lot of spectators at the convention, but people would still think it was part of the "show". Another example was in the hallway of crushers, Sigourney Weaver's original line was going to be "Well FUCK that!" because they were aiming for a PG-13 rating, but then they had her ADR her line, and she apparently tried to do a very bad take on purpose to highlight the change. This movie is really funny, but knowing the story behind "Well, s-cu-rue thaaaaat!" makes that particular scene even funnier.
This is my third favorite Star Trek film. The Wrath of Khan, The Journey Home, and then this. That's how much they captured the spirit of what Star Trek was to a lot of people back then.
Was a great movie! Glad to say I saw it in theaters back in 1999 … Extremely happy they never tried a part 2 or a spinoff. Movie stands great on its own.
Hey Daniel and Sam, great reaction. --- This is one of my favorite Star Trek movies I love the concept of turning the Star Trek show into a parody of itself. ----- So many of the characters that are really fun from the termites, with their technological prowess, but the absolutes Innocence. To the self-indulgence of the captain. --------The totally committed crew , to Alan Rickman as the tortured artist, to Sigourney Weaver as the over-sexualized crewmate. The fandom who come in clutch to save the day. --- whst a great job of making fun of itself and the sci-fi genre.
Galaxy Quest is great because it makes fun of Star Trek but also loves it. It's satire without being mean spirited. And a great cast.
This is a beautiful love letter to Sci-Fi ❤
HEy I remember this movie! It falls through the cracks of most people's best "space movies" lists.
Absolutely adore this movie, and am so glad it's gotten a well-deserved revival these days. Watch "Paul" for another love letter to the scifi genre, that like GQ still manages to be a good movie on its own.
If "Galaxy Quest" is a love letter to Star Trek, and scifi fan, "Paul" is a love letter to the alien bit of the scifi genre. It's funny and nerdy, with so many easter eggs and brilliant references. Really hope you'll react to it!
Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that I’m big fan of you guys and you guys make a content keep it up would it be OK if you guys react to Carlitos’s way if you haven’t seen it thank you
I love this movie. I’ll gladly watch a re upload ❤
This parody of Star Trek is written so that non-fans can enjoy it as well. Not only does it spoof the franchise, but it also pokes fun at the celebrity rumors from the cast members. Knowing what is being spoofed adds layers to the nostalgia value in this respect - from show to bloopers to behind the scenes trivia.
Here to re up vote and re comment :)
Hugely cleaver and sweet-hearted!
One of my all time favorite movies.
A really great moment at the end, that I missed the first few times I watched, is when Sarris shoots everyone, the only person who doesn't get shot is Guy.
This never gets old.
Star Trek actors faced a lot of people like these characters at conventions.
the general story is like the three amigos and tropic thunder. actors being believed as the real deal and realizing that their situation is actually real. uh oh.
Re-thumbs-up. 👍
Must watch Sam Rockwell in "Mr. Right" "Moon" "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri"
The space version of "The Three Amigos"....kinda like "The magnificent Seven"/"Seven Samurai"
Hey Daniel and Sam. What movie is complete without an awesome villain as you mentioned the attention to detail with the villain is next level. ------- I totally love the wings on his back and how they flex when he gets angry. -------- What a great movie and a great reaction.
feel like it is heavily inspired by the antagonist from "the last starfighter"
“Alan Rickman from Die Hard….”
Wow that’s not something I’ve ever heard someone say haah.
I'd say Galaxy Quest and Tremors are two masterpieces of their genres. Impeccably written with a fun and game cast, both deserve all the praise and cult followings they have. Fav lines, "Whoever wrote this episode should die!" (Galaxy Quest), and "Damn it, listen to me. I'm older and wiser." "Yeah, well you're half right..." (Tremors) 😆
Ahhhhh, Daniel and Sam "By Grabtra's hammer. By the sons of Warvan. Your shall be avenged."
Ok, I'll watch it again...

An absolute classic! Only slightly ruined for me ever since learning how insanely right wing conservative nut job Tim Allen is, but… I’m able to overlook it enough to still enjoy this movie lol
Aww, the old uncomfortable bench 🎉
Check out Stephen King's Salem's Lot (1979) A CBS TV two part TV movie from early Nov 1979. With the late David Soul aka Hutch of the Starsky & Hutch buddy cop tv series. He also was a motorcycle cop in Magnum Force/ Dirty Harry II.
You mentioned how good Sarris' costume was. This movie's special effects are from the famed Stan Winston Studio known for such movies as A.I., Aliens, Avatar, Batman Returns, Edward Scissorhands (1990), Invaders from Mars, Iron Man, Jurassic Park series, Pearl Harbor, Predator series, The Terminator series, The Thing (1982), The Time Machine (2002), and War of the Worlds (2005). The ship Protector bridge was even designed to shake making it much more realistic than shaking the camera effects.
Someone once wrote there are only 4 perfect movies & this movie made the cut.
Check out Superman the movie (1978), and The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951).
Being a Star Trek fan isnt necessary to enjoy this film, but Trekkies will get the parallels as well as the parodies that some non-Trekkies will miss. Fun fact, in the Protector's hull number, NTE-3120, the "NTE" stands for "Not The Enterprise"
Sigourney Weaver 🔥
Tim Allen
Alan Rickman.. such a fun movie , I wonder if William Shatner has seen this ?
Fun Reaction..More F Bombs !
Fun fact. Galaxy Quest was voted 7th Best Star Trek movie (out of the 12 released) at the Las Vegas Star Trek Convention in 2013.
you guys always have such great reactions. i always tear up at "by Grabthar's Hammer.. you shall be avenged"
When Tim Allen is laying out the plan to get the Barrilium(sp?) Sphere, he actually says Fleegman instead of Guy. It's really quick. I don't know why he does that when the movie pays off the Guy-not-having-a-last-name joke at the end. Kind of an odd choice.
Can you imagine how much MONEY Disney would be rolling in right now, if they'd treated their fans the way the Galaxy Quest makers treated the Trekkies?
THIS is the way you make movies for a fan base!
Great review as always @TBR Schmitt?
Would you ever consider reacting to a documentary? I think you would love ‘Searching for Sugarman’
A truly amazing story of a musician 👍
I hate to be on the Rickman bandwagon, but many actors could not have sold the character of Dr. Lazarus so well; his utter disdain and hatred of his strapline - "By Grabthar's hammer" - turned into a heartfelt delivery to soothe a dying alien, it's extreme talent.
Just a quick compliment - I love your reactions, guys. Keep it up.
Don't forget 'Tech Sergeant Chen' - played by 'Fred Kwan' - is played by a white actor. Just something else that adds to the film's enjoyment for me.
THEE FUNNIEST MOVIE in the GALAXY....ALL HAIL SIR RICKMAN ❤
About Guy, Sam Rockwell's character. I don't know if you noticed that at the end, everybody got shot, except him! So his fear was not justified, I mean his fear of being an expendable side character who would get killed off first. :-)
Oh my goodness I love this movie! It's such a feel good movie, so glad you're watching it!
To see Tony Shaloub elseswhere you must watch THE SIEGE, also starring Denzel Washington and Bruce Willis! Or if you want to watch his ultimate series, there is always Monk!
Of course, you should do several on that comedy poll, notably Tropic Thunder. Risky Business isn’t really a comedy. I’d add Parenthood to the list. Wayne’s World is a must if you remember the SNL skits.
This movie was so well crafted it stands up in it's own all the SFX is decent and it's just a lovely positive film that is basically star trek (pre 2005)
