As a lifelong Star Trek fan, I can confirm that no Trekkies were harmed in the making of this movie. Every Star Trek fan I know loves it.
And some Star Trek Actors (Wil Wheaton, Brent Spiner) have been quoted as also saying this was fantastic.
@@ChannelReuploads9451 That's awesome, didn't know that.
My stepdad is a Trekkie and actually had the original author autograph his VHS copy.
At a convention I went to, the Babylon 5 actors had a panel called "Why we love Galaxy Quest" Tracy Scoggins was cosplaying, you may guess who.
I can confirm this. As a Trekkie, this is my fifth or sixth favourite Star Trek movie
the whole movie shows us that Alexander hates his role as the campy doctor Lazuras his catch phrase sickens him and he sees it as cheesy poorly written dribble unfit for a theatrically trained actor as himself... but when the thermian who idolized him is dying in his arms it becomes the most poignant thing to say nd he delivers it with every ounce of heartfelt effect..
it is the most bittersweet moment that truly shows his character..
Honestly the best parody films, are not just about mocking the flaws or making fun of something, but also having love and respect for the material as well.
I implore you to reconsider -Kung Pow
Yes, this and Spaceballs are probably my favourites. You can tell they were made with a lot of fondness for the source material.
Like Mystery Men.
Black Dynamite (2009) for blaxploitation films, Young Frankenstein (1974) for 1930s Frankenstein movies, The Big Bus (1976) for all-star disaster movies and Galaxy Quest (1999) are such parody movies that respect the movies they parody. Westerns have both Blazing Saddles (1974) and Rustler's Rhapsody (1985). There are plenty others missing from this list but each of these stand head and tails above "parodies" like the late 2000's Disaster Movie, Epic Movie and Meet The Spartans where the entire movie is made up of pop culture references and dance offs.
@@Rocket1377 Another, lesser known, great by Brooks is High Anxiety, which is an absolute love letter to Hitchcock
"By Grabthar's Hammer, what a movie!";)
Don't do that. I'm not kidding.
@@jean-paulaudette9246 Affirmative. "By Grabthar's Screwdriver, you shall be removed."
@@jean-paulaudette9246 "Sir, I was only..."
And your point is?
@@eatsmylifeYT I have one, but if I keep a hat on, no one notices it.
Intelligence is knowing that this isn't a Star Trek film.
Wisdom is knowing that this is the BEST Star Trek film.
A wise man once observed the two best Star Trek films made are Galaxy Quest and Master & Commander.
@@Caseytify - how is Master & Commander like Trek? (Beside just the fact they command a ship)
Brent Spiner said to Patrick Stewart " Why didn't we do this?" LOL!
"And it exploded." Is still one of the best lines ever. So completely deadpan, perfect comedic timing.
I don't know if it is still up here, but I once saw a video of the transporter accident in "Star Trek - The Motion picture" with some editing and overdub. When Kirk asks the Starbase: "Starfleet - do you have them?" They left in the part "Enterprise... What we got back didn't live long" and then they dubbed in, as a backround voice through the com system, the guy from Galaxy quest "It turned inside out. And it exploded!" The cut to Kirks face made it really hillarious then. 😄
RIP Alan Rickman. By Grabthar's Hammer, you will not be forgotten.
"Mom! I cannot pause this game!" You nailed it, Mari.
RIP Bernini. Hope you are in a mountain of blankets wherever you are.
This movie is often referred to as the 2nd best Star Trek movie ever made.
It was in fact voted 6th best Star Trek film at a Trek convention in Vegas a few years ago.
Patrick Stewart himself said it was THE best one.
But it has nothing to do with star trek while this movie is fantastic this is just a pisstake of star trek
@@itzbp9949 thats the 'joke', a non ST film being MORE "star trek" than some Star Trek movies
@@itzbp9949 This film is much closer to what Star Trek is supposed to be than travesties like the J.J. Abrams films or Discovery.
Same with The Orville; best Star Trek series since DS9 or even TNG, despite it also being "just a pisstake of star trek".
They are actually not mocking, they are parodying. Parody is more about humor and satirization than mockery. Love your reactions!
Johnathan Frakes confirmed that more than a few of the characters in this were based on the real actors of the next generation. "I won't say that line anymore, I was in shakespear!" is a roast of Patrick Steward and always having to say "Engage" at conventions. Stuff like that, its funny.
One of my favorite things about a movie like this is that it's part parody and part love letter to the source. This one strikes a really good balance between the two.
I think that about Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein too. Mel Brooks is a genius!
Tim Allen killed it playing a parody of William Shatner.
Star Trek fans ADORE this movie. It's a loving parody. We love it so, so much. At least I do and my fellow Trek fans I know do. I really hope that you watch Fifth Element and the earlier Trek movies.
Someone has probably said it already, but the bathroom scene where Jason hears people talking about how they're all washed-up actors living on the coattails of a popular show was based on an actual experience William Shatner had at a 'con in the 80's, if I remember correctly.
I am so sorry about Bernini, I see the kitty made an appearance in this episode. I love all the animals, even ones I never met that I just see on UA-cam. My heart goes out to you, it's so hard to lose a pet.
Wonderfully written.
My feelings 100% as well.
RIP bernini ❤❤
Bernini died?!
That's so sad. :(
Condolances.
I adore this film. Probably one of my top 10s of all time. Also, really underappreciated performance by Sam Rockwell as Guy. "Hey, don't open that! It's an alien planet! Is there air? You don't know!"
Your laugh when the alien female spoke gibberish when her translator was broken was fantastic! So fun watching your reaction. It was also lovely to see Bernini’s final curtain call. What a good cat. My sincere condolences, Mari.
Such a great movie to watch in general, but especially after Star Trek. Sam Rockwell was just so good in this. Everyone was. Really excited for this reaction.
IKR? Stellar cast, all around.
Sam was the best thing about this movie
"It's an alien planet. Is there air? You don't know!"
This is one of my favorite movies. They were actually supposed to make a Galaxy Quest tv show for real but Daryl Mitchell got paralyzed and Alan Rickman passed away.
Ah man, what a great movie. You're absolutely right about how accessible it is. When I saw it in theaters I was totally unfamiliar with Star Trek but the idea of sci-fi actors having to go on an actual sci-fi adventure is so easy to get on board with
Trek fans love Galaxy Quest as it was made with genuine affection and knowledge of the original Star Trek's cast dynamics as well as the fandom around the show. Plus it's also just a really fun adventure movie in its own right. Shame we never got a sequel or the TV show which nearly happened.
As a "Star Trek"-Fan for over 30 years, I want to thank You for this reaction and the "Star Trek"-reactions ! 🖖❤️
Mari had a mental breakdown after the "translator is broken" part XD
Mari: "I hope she never does that again" LOL
I'm a huge Star Trek fan and I loved this movie! Tim Allen really channels his inner Shatner in this film!
Me too. Including, Star Wars.
So no one is gonna tell Mari that Gwen was played by Sigourney Weaver? Mari, maybe you will get to see Sigourney later in her other films like Alien, Aliens, Gorillas In The Mist or Ghostbusters.
She obviously saw the movie. why would anyone need to tell her that lol
I was but you already did.
This movie is such a fantastic love letter to sci-fi and sci-fi fandom. I love it so much.
Me too.
I had to finish this Marichu video...before someone kills Guy!
He has a name, you know!
@@jean-paulaudette9246 Does he? Does he?!
Guy freaking out was hilarious... I always found that funny.
Even Guy Fleegman's name is an in-joke. He was named as an homage to Guy Vardaman, who was a stand-in and multiple bit part player on Star Trek: The Next Generation.
I assumed he was named Guy because he was meant to be a generic guy. Even Guy Vardaman didn't get the reference until it was pointed out to him. :-D
"Mom I cannot pause this video game!" Haha. This was a lot of fun to watch!
All the actors playing the Thermians give what I consider to be the best acting performance in any film. I could watch a whole tv series of just them.
From what I understand, the director was so impressed with Enrico Colantoni 's take on the Thermians during his screen test that he was not only hired on the spot, but instructed all the other actors hired to play the Thermians to get with Enrico and learn what to do.
The DVD version has the option to watch it all dubbed into Thermean if that helps?
@@mortisrat Thank Grabthar.
I've been using subtitles since my translator is broke.
I'd watch it until my eyes bled.
One of them became Elias in Person of Interest and another was "agent Smith" in Deadpool. Watching both I had weird feeling and didn't realize until I rewatched Galaxy Guest.
I've been a fan of Star Trek, Star Wars and SciFi in general for decades... and this is one of the most awesome films ever made.
I think i've never met a fan who doesn't love Galaxy Quest.
Even the creators of Galaxy quest say, its not so much about the parody, but about the fans and the validation of the fans' fanboi-ish-ness or obsession with the details of the genre/episodes.
This movie is one of the best ever made. Sigourney Weaver capitalizes on her fandom with "Alien" absolutely perfectly in this. The most low-key line delivery was, "What if he returns?" "Oh, I doubt that. I gave him BOTH cannons."
This was very entertaining. :D
After seeing your reaction to Galaxy Quest, I'm absolutely sure you would love the Firefly TV-show (14 episodes + final movie).
4:27 Closed Captions read "BROKEN" hahaha!
YESSSS!!!
3:15 NO! Star Trek fans LOVE this movie, it's pretty regularly voted as one of the best Star Trek movies even though it isn't even one.
"Is there air! You dont know!" my favorite line
I love this movie because it's a parody of the cast and the fans alike, and it's not at all malicious.
Me too. Including space balls.
It's a tongue in cheek love letter, with all the self-congratulation and self-deprecation built in.
There's an amazing documentary called "Never surrender" on Prime. The actors talk about their experiences shooting the movie, and their interactions with fans. I think you would enjoy it.
Some of the interview-segments are on UA-cam, but none capture the full documentary's magic and completeness. There are tearful recollections of Alan Rickman, too, so bring tissues.
Note: Guy Fleegman in Galaxy Quest is played by Sam Rockwell, who played Captain Klenzendorf in JoJo Rabbit.
Supposedly the stall room scene was based on a real experience William Shatner had.
One of the best satires ever in my opinion.
Actually the people behind the movie were Star Trek fans themselves. This movie was made with love so it wasn't mocking the fans. It let us feel like we were a part of the crew. A large portion of Trekkies love the movie and have considered this part of Star Trek. There's a documentary on this that's really awesome and worth a watch if you're interested.
I'm sure you know this by now but this movie in particular is satirizing the cast of the original Star Trek. A lot of the character attributes were taken directly from the Star Trek actors.
aaawww, the video just started and there is the first gut punch already.... rest in peace little buddy 😢
Very glad to see you react to this movie especially after the recent Star Trek movies. Makes for a nice contrast. I think this movie gets overlooked by many reactors. Good job to those who suggested it and you giving your fans a chance to enjoy.
"After 18 years, Galaxy Quest returns". Same amount of time between Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Next Generation.
So glad you did Galaxy Quest. Truly a classic & such a refreshing surprise when it came out 💜
First off, as a life-long Trekkie, I love this movie, and I'm so glad you enjoyed it too. It's easily one of the best love-letters any fandom has ever received.
Secondly, I'm very sorry to hear about Bernini. You have my condolences, Marijchu. One of life's great inequities is that our 4-legged companions age so much faster than we do, and saying goodbye is so very, very hard. Peace and love be with you in this difficult time.
Recommend that you watch "Sleeper". A 1970's movie about the future that is incredibly funny and insightful.
I absolutely LOVE seeing you laugh like that. You should watch more comedies!
By Grabthar's hammer, I'm so happy Mari watched this movie
21:00 - You mean Ashe, the robot? No, that's not him. But the blonde girl (Gwen DeMarco) is played by the same actress who played Ripley in all the Alien movies. That's her! =D
Aw, this movie is hilarious. Honestly, Mary, this movie probably won the poll because you just finished watching some Star Trek movies, and as I'm sure you understand, this movie can only truly be appreciated as a comedy if you understand the Star Trek "culture". ;-)
P.S. -- Sorry for your loss. I used to have pets too, so I know what it is to lose one.
I love how she always has her blanket and a super cute laugh.
I honestly saw this in theaters for just after my 13th birthday. I appreciate A LOT more now, since I marathoned all 800 plus Trek episodes and films. As well as learning things like 1 NSE in the NSEA Protector stands for NOT STARSHIP ENTERPRISE. 2 Tim based his performance on Shatner himself (as he's a HUGE Trek fan). 3 that line about the TV guide interview actually happened to Jeri Ryan when she joined the Voyager cast in the show's 4th season
I would say spoof or lampoon before I went with mocking. It's obvious the writers & producers loved the show very much; the fandom as much as the show itself.
P.S. Love the cat. he looks so comfortable.
I recall a movie critic's review of this as, "The best Star Trek movie in a long time!"
I wonder if she was able to recognize Sam Rockwell in this, since he was quite a bit younger in this than he is in Jojo Rabbit. 🤔
Not many people know about Dwight from The Office in this movie as well.
It's... 'affectionate satire'--it pokes fun at celebrity, fandom, the 'divide' between TV series acting and stage acting, and so much more.
I've never thought much of Tim Allen, as a person, a 'comedian' or as an actor, but in this movie, while IMHO just playing himself a lot, he also genuinely 'acted' too---I give him credit for that.
The screenplay and script are just brilliant, and Tim Allen doing a very good job in his role IMHO helped the 'real actors 'of this cast --Sigounrey Weaver, Alan Rickman, Sam Rockwell, and Tony Shaloub ( and the supporting actors were all great too). This movie could have been an embarrassment for all, and just a pay-check between more significant 'gigs', but IMHO it's as close to a 'perfect' movie of its type that you can find.
Berrini looks so cute in the back! Awww
Bernini she stayed by you through most of the video. I'm so very sorry for your loss 😔😔
I love it when you do your Fozzy Bear accent. :)
Also RIP Bernini. 😸♥
I lover her laughs and even her snorts. lol. It's adorable.
Just replace "By Grabthar's Hammer, by the Sons of Warvan, you shall be avenged" with "Live long and prosper" and you get Leonard Nimoy.
That's pretty much stretching it a bit too much.
we all miss Bernini
we really do
so sorry for your loss
this is a fun movie it's been a long time since I've seen it
There was an excellent documentary released a few years ago called "Never Surrender" about the rise of this film to it's current cult status. It has some fun BTS stories from the people involved. I believe it is available to watch for free, with ads of course, on YT.
Extremely fun watching you enjoy this movie.
If you know Trek, this is a brilliant movie full of in jokes from Tim Allen's ego to Sigourney's vinyl wig.
And if you don't know Trek it's one of the all time best comedies.
The plot needs a word for ludicrous that we have never invented, but the characters are completely serious.
Perfect.
Special mention for Sigourney's 'Why is it always ducts?'
Alan Rickman's expression when a Thermian crewman announces: 'Commander Taggart has saved us!'
Tony Shaloub's expression when Laliari lets her tentacles out.
Still laughing.
That hillside home shown early on is a famous Los Angeles/Hollywood landmark, built by a renowned architect. It is often used for filming and photography. Within the context of this parody of a movie, that house may have been used as part of the parody.
I had never heard of this movie until my dad found it on video tape at a garage sale for a dollar. The sound of the of the ship scraping the side of the dock the first time out makes me laugh every time.
What Galaxyquest is to Star Trek, Three Amigos is to old time silent western films.
Galaxyquest is the best of this type of story but Three Amigos is also very very good!
It was bittersweet watching you get to spend time with your sweet kitty on screen here. Know you provided him a wonderful life. Thank you for your channel.
Hi there, I thought I’d add my thanks for ur quirky movie reviews which I’m very much enjoying. Little me also my condolences with regards to Bernini. Ive really been enjoying seeing the cats making occaisional appearances, however B was nearly always in the background kneeling her bed or dozing quite fitfully. I’ve also lost a loved puss or two over the years. Never an easy time losing such a dearly loved member of the family. It just sucks 🥺
Your cat looks so amazingly chill on that chair!
Among Star Trek fans, it's considered one of the best Star Trek films!
Great movie! Loved seeing Sigourney weaver from alien, and Alan Rickman just having fun and enjoying the silliness of the movie!
My goodness Mary, I have seen this reaction before, but watching you laugh helplessly has brightened my whole morning.
And introducing

Security Chief Roc Ingersoll
Love this movie. Lol
I think fans of the 1960's Star Trek get another layer out of this. There was always said to be arguments between actors over certain things and in reality I think everyone has faults in some things, so people will argue no matter what. But for Star Trek fans, they could see the poking of fun at the actors drama off-screen. I kind of liked it because it gave a sci-fi movie a very real sense of the characters being actual people.
I really did love the concept that the aliens did not understand the concept of 'TV entertainment.' You have to wonder, if an alien species did see broadcasts from Earth with the news mixed in with the fantasy of soaps, movies and adverts, it would seriously confuse them without a frame of reference to understand what is real and what is performance.
The cast was great and I liked the fact that they drew from a mix of veteran sci-fi actors mixed with people who are not known for acting in the genre. Sarris' actor had been in Babylon 5, Star Trek Voyager and Mass Effect. Sigourney Weaver is one of the definitive sci-fi faces, simply from Alien. Sam Rockwell had never really been in sci-fi before this, but it lead into him being in one of the most interesting sci-fi movies I have ever seen, 'Moon'. Then you have Alan Rickman who only ever really did anything space sci-fi in this movie. The same can be said for Tim Allen, unless you count Buzz Lightyear in the genre. So yeah, loved the cast.
Galaxy Quest for me was a great one-and-done movie that commented on science fiction from fans, non-fans and actors points of view. It was a really interesting self-contained movie. I hope they never revisit it or remake it because it worked and said what it needed to say.
Sigourney Weaver’s wardrobe alteration at the end takes my breath away. So taken was I, that i decided to investigate. In a scene they left out, Gwen tries to distract a couple of bad guys by unzipping her uniform top. It’s a well known science fiction fact that all intelligent life in the universe (and some not so intelligent) are physically attracted to earth girls.
About time for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
The real one on BBC or that crap remake?
@@SGlitz BBC one hopefully lol
I would rather watch Mary read the book than see a reaction to that remake film.
@@thedawd yea if she watch the movie, she'll hate all of us
"If you go to a convention you're supposed to like it, no?"
Yes, but that doesn't mean you like all the actors equally, or that you don't recognize their faults. Some actors are notorious for their enormous egos, and that's who Tim Allen is playing.
Very cool reaction...it is true what you mention; whether you are a sci fi fan or not; this movie speaks to everyone. Very few people indeed react to this movie, really enjoyed u having fun with the humor.
Many Star Trek fans have accepted Galaxy Quest as an unofficial part of the Star Trek franchise, and one of the better ones, at that. We know when a movie laughs with us, not at us.
I'm a huge fan of Star Trek TOS & TNG & I fucking LOVE this movie. We're totally nerds! Making fun of it is half the charm.
The actor that played the father (on the sofa, uncredited, out of makeup) is the actor that played Sarris.
a fun movie and being a hardcore Star Trek fan, just cant stop grinning and laughing along with it. Knowing how the stars from the original series felt about the conventions, especially at first makes the parody even better.
“Does rolling help?” God, that was funny. I loved the shoulder roll at the end Nesmith used to shoot Sarris. That was vintage Shatner!
In the DVD for this, there is an option to hear the entire movie in Thermian!
Love your smile!
The desert planet was filmed in Goblin Valley, Utah. All the rock formations are natural.
So sorry for your lost I loved seeing your pet.
This is parody with affection, rather than disdain.
That same year (1999), another spoof was released, Mystery Men. Not sci-fi, but a superhero film (kind of!). Not as successful as Galaxy Quest, but I loved it! A wonderful cast too - Ben Stiller, Geoffrey Rush (Barbossa!), William Macy ...
At first I was wondering if you were asking what "Alka-Seltzer," was. "Plop-Plop, fizz-fizz oh what a relief it is.... (it's an old American antacid you drop in water)." Anyway loved your reaction, this is a great movie. It starts out silly but does have some wonderful heart felt moments like when Dr. Lazarus give his line toward the last to the dying crew member who idolized him, he realize that what he said actually had meaning and for the first time he felt it. Can't wait for your next reaction....Have a great evening, day, whatever....Stay safe.
When Mari's the second cutest thing in frame, you know it's special.
18:00 Something funny that not a lot of people notice on first viewing is that while we clearly hear Gwen saying "Well, screw that", her lips don't match what she's saying. That's because Sigourney Weaver had to dub over her own dialogue after the decision was made to tone down the profanity in the film.
Galaxy Quest! I'm so tempted to splurge on your patreon for this full reaction. Love this movie!
Extremely fun watching you enjoy this movie.
By Grabthar's Hammer.. what a reaction!
