This movie surprised the heck out of me. I watched it 2 months ago (late August). Wow!

"...and it exploded" is probably one of the most perfect line deliveries in any movie ever. 🤣

Alan Rickman killed me in this movie. All of the actresses and actors brought their A-Game but Rickman embodied even the experienced fed-up person who doesn't care, but whom cares about his craft. Rest in peace Alan.

I love how they “make fun” of the various sci-fi tropes while still paying homage 👏🏾🍿🎬🛸 Fantastic movie!

Rickman's delivery is the absolute best damn thing here. =) This movie seems like a parody at first but you quickly realize it's pretty much a love letter to the sci-fi genre.

This movie is a absolute GEM! As a fan of Star Trek, and seeing Spaceballs before I was warry to see it but the cast, especially Alan Rickman, convinced me to give it a shot and it was and is absolutely brilliant! It's funny as hell but at the same time emotional and showing how a show like this could impact people's (and aliens😅) life's and therefore mean a lot to them. It really is a "Love letter" to, not just Trekkies, but fans in general.

@james.b.mcgill

10 ай бұрын

It's satire, not parody. That's why it works so well as an homage and on its own. Just like Shawn of the Dead.

Two little fun facts: When Sigourney Weaver heard about the project, she wanted to be part of it, but the producers initially refused, because they didn't want any big names from the sci-fi scene attached to it (for obvious reasons), but she was insistant, especially when she found out her character was going to be the "dumb blonde". When Tim Allen did his confession speech to Malthasar, he was so emotional he had to spend some time alone in his trailer. Alan Rickman just responded with "he just experienced acting".

The actors playing the Thermians in this movie really killed it. Of course octopoids imitating humans would find themselves trapped in the Uncanny Valley when trying to do it. Just imagine yourself trying to imitate an octopus... to an actual octopus. You'd have no real idea how to move like them, and it wouldn't fool them at all. The fact that Mathesar's actor was able to do all that and still effectively & believably convey an entire range of human emotions is a real tribute to his skill.

@kikphlip1080

Mathesar's actor actually based the speech patterns on an old acting school technique he learned. The director liked it so much he had him teach the rest how to speak that way

"Let's get out of here before one of those things kills Guy" is one of my fav lines from the film.

I love watching actors and actresses react to this movie, as they get all the inside jokes about their craft. Thank you Clariss!

This reaction was a fun surprise!!! Even after all these years it still blows my mind that they managed to make a film that satirizes Star Trek while also being a love letter to the fans.

The real hero here is Sigourney Weaver's ever devolving costume staying together lol.

Many Star Trek fans not only consider this a ST movie but also one of the very best. I think because it has very many elements of ST from both sides (the show and the fandom), but also it doesn't alienate the fandom in any way. It's in equal parts both mocking and respectful to the show and the fandom. It basically has a perfect balance, and is legitimately a good SF romp all at the same time. The Cornetto Trilogy does a similar thing I think. Made by lovers of media who are capable of making a very decent film in the genre whilst not being afraid to add a good dose of fan service, as well as 'taking the piss' a little.🤣

This movie got very little press release, and even the movie posters only went up the day it was released (I was working at a movie theater in '99), and as such, it went under the radar. Thankfully, people caught on after it was released on home video, because it definitely deserves all the love it gets.

I remember going to the theater and seeing a big cardboard replica of the ship hanging from the ceiling along with some pics of the actors, that's about all I recall of the promotion for it. Friends and I were sci-fi fans and went to see it and had a blast. Still a favorite to this day.

This has such an amazing cast and is so funny (I’m not a big Trekkie but I adore this movie!) Alan Rickman is just sublime in this! ❤ Also fun fact/quote from Patrick Stewart that is my favourite reactions and sums up the movie: “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”

"...paid tribute to the dedication of these fans..." I feel Hollywood has forgotten this in so many films.

It's like everytime 'that line' is spoken, Alan Rickman's character dies a little bit inside. Until he actually means it.

Tony Shalhoub's character is chronically stoned through the whole film. That's why he was carrying a bag of snacks with him.

During the scene with Mathesar, Tim Allen was getting emotional and said "Yeah, I don't like these feelings I'm having" and he left the set and went back to his trailer. Alan Rickman then said "Oh my god, I think he's just experienced acting"

This and Seth MacFarlane's The Orville are the best parodies of Star Trek. If particular, this film captures the fandom culture and the behind-the-scenes drama between the actors. Alan Rickman's character also displays Leonard Nimoy's sentiments about being best known for Spock, as he wrote two books, one called "I Am Not Spock" and then "I Am Spock."

So obvious she says it and comments about it in the documentary

In the Babylon 5 commentaries, Bruce Boxleitner spoke on this movie and how great it is. He never really understood the whole scifi fandom even after TRON, but as time went on he got it and said this movie perfectly illustrated this world.

Finally, a reactor who gets the laugh out loud absurdity of the Gilligan's Island reference. "Those poor people". 😂

Basically, Tony Shaloub played the entire movie as if his character was stoned. He even missed the initial transport because he had the munchies.

24:19 I love how you can tell that Sigourney Weaver actually said "Fuck that!", and they dubbed "Screw that!" over it :)

You should probably watch this MANY times. Absolutely amazing comedic acting across the board by MASTERS at the craft.

In theaters, this film was hurt a lot by poor marketing: the studio didn't know what a gem they had, so they tried to position it as a fun kids comedy adventure movie, which is NOT what it is. That meant they also cut the key comedic plot point of Fred being "elevated" and Gwen's one f-bomb. It IS a good adventure movie, it's just that most of the jokes were for adults and people familiar with Star Trek fandom, not children. Which is too bad, because they did some really interesting things with this film in the theater setting. In particular, when the aspect ratio widened on Jason's first glimpse of space, the curtains in some theaters pulled back to accommodate, adding to the drama.

My understanding, is that in the theater-release version, the film's aspect ratio changes TWICE: Once, at the end of the "TV show" opening sequence, when the words, "To be continued..." flash on the screen. Then, a second time, when the doors of the Protector II open, to give Jason the info that he really is in Outer Space. (The double change in aspect ratio is a wonderful touch. Unfortunately, the DVD version I have, omits the second of these changes. Nor have I actually seen the second change occur on streaming versions in reaction videos. I don't know where it's possible to watch a version of this film with the second change in aspect ratio, as the director intended.)

one thing no one seems to ever notice, during the firefight near the end where everyone is getting shot and killed, the only character to not get shot was Guy the expendible "red shirt"

Fun fact. If you notice during the beginning when they're playing the actual show, Tony shalhob squints during his close-up. It's because his character is named "Chen". He's playing an Asian. Also, look at Sigourney Weavers lips during the chompers scene, she is definitely not saying "screw that".

This movie is so close to my heart, it always put me in a good mood. Great cast and actually a surprising mix of actors. I never thought I’d see Tim Allen and Alan Rickman on screen together. And this is the movie that made me realize Tim Allen is a really good looking man.

“Go for the eyes, like in episode 22!” “It doesn’t have eyes Tommy.” “Then go for the mouth, the throat, it’s vulnerable spots!” “It’s a ROCK! It doesn’t have any vulnerable spots!”

I absolutely love this movie, and I'm super impressed with how good the creature effects for the villain and his soldiers were. Stan Winston's special effects studio made those suits and creatures, and it makes sense that they looks so good. They made the Predator!

"Well, Screw THAT!". If you look closely, Sigourney didn't say "Screw"... hehehe They also had to cut the Scenes where Tony Shalhoub was"partaking".. It would've explained alot about his "Chill Nature" but the studio's didn't want it to look like they approved "Recreational Herbal Usage". This Movie was a nod and a hug to the fans of Star Trek and the cast did this with great love as well... It's a CRIME that there's little to no Galaxy Quest in the Cons.

When you said " i hope that line comes back " i was just waiting for your reaction to that moment.

The only one who DOESN'T get shot during the final attack is Guy. It's a nice touch.

16:47 Kitty cat breaks are important! 🙂

This movie was the best non Star Trek, Star Trek show. Thank you lovely one.

This movie is one of the best pieces of Star Trek media, right up there with The Orville.

Clariss, as both a lifelong Star Trek fan...I am 54 and started watching Star Trek 40 or more years ago...and as someone who has performed on stage, studied the theatrical arts on and backstage as well as worked behind the scenes (as well as knowledgeable about the entertainment industry with a friend who currently actively produces and writes for a couple of shows), I appreciated seeing another reaction to this beloved movie but this time from the prospective of someone who understands what it is like to work in the industry. I think you got this movie on a whole other level than most people do and really enjoyed your reaction. Your background in entertainment is what makes you different from others in these reactions along with your great sense of humor. Please keep them coming!

Great reaction! The film is not only a great parody, but also a wonderful homage to Star Trek and the also to the fans that have kept the dream alive for more than half a century so far. Given how much you enjoyed Galaxy Quest, you might also like a 90-minute documentary that was made in 2019 for the 20th anniversary of the movie called Never Surrender (on Prime). It talks with the cast, the crew, and the executives about the history of the movie and how it was made. It also talks with fans, critics and Star Trek alumni about how the film was received and the lasting legacy and cult status it has achieved. I have watched the documentary many times and enjoy it so much, I hope you will too.

I see you have the edited version... Go back to when Sigourney says "well screw that!" after seeing the crushers, and read her lips...

When everybody can out of their transport pods,Sam Rockwell improvised the scream ,he didn't tell anybody beforehand which Sigourney Weaver jumped and was completely shocked.Also please have more kitty breaks.😺😺😺😺

Tony Shalhoub's character makes a lot more sense when you learn he was supposed to be stoned throughout the movie. The scene where he tokes up was among those cut from the final release version by the studio to ensure a PG rating after the first cut submitted to the MPAA got an R.

I'm glad you watched this, it's a gem. What a crew, what a story. Thx for sharing your interesting reaction.

If it hasn’t been mentioned I would like to point out that when everyone got shot on the bridge Guy was the only crew member not shot. The movie even pokes fun at itself.

Never noticed before the obscure reference "Back after 18 years..." That is the number of years between the end of the original Star Trek (Kirk, Spock etc) and the start of Star Trek Next Generation (Pickard).

GQ is a far better Star Trek love letter than “new” Trek currently.

I recommend Sigourney Weaver again in Ghostbusters 1&2&Afterlife. Also Afterlife have Mid&Post-credits scenes don't forget to watch those too 😉.

I've watched this movie so many times, and this was the first time I really thought about what it would have been like for the cast of Star Trek to see a real life version of the Enterprise.

After my cat BonBon saw your cat on the screen, she started watching intently and watched the whole second half with me. Such a cute kitty! New sub!

This is genius

A truly underappreciated movie.

Yea, when i saw that you'd put a video up on this movie, I knew for sure you'd love it as an actress yourself.

I just noticed *future* security Chief Roc was actually acting in a Very Security Chief manner just before the ship separation. He ran up to hold a gun on Sarris! This movie really *is* perfect. 😅💚 Ps Quelleck was a squid daddy in MIB!

I love that Guy got a last name in the end.

Came for the reaction, stayed for the cat break. ❤

14:06 There's actually an explanation for this behavior...and a whole lot more that he exhibits all throughout. See, there's a deleted scene where this guy smoked an *enormous* blunt before he went in for the second round at the convention center. So he's actually high as a kite for the whole movie...

That cat is adorable and really puts up with a lot ;) Great review, a favorite of mine!

Tony Shalhoub's character on the show was called Chen. Notice he is always squinting, he's played a fake Chinese on the show. Plus he's a pot head which is why he takes everything in stride.😊

If you can read lips, you know that the actress (I forget her name off the top of my head. Crucify me) did not say "well, screw that" at 24:19

Sam Rockwell improvised the scream after being transported, Sigourney's (and rest of cast) reaction was real! Tech Sgt. Chen was supposed to be always high ( his indifferent outlook on everything) but they cut it out for the rating ( also cut out scene where they explain about Sigourney's character's boobs after the chompers scene).

It is those serious moments that make this already funny comedy so great.

It's funny to see Monk act like this.

David Mamet called this a “perfect movie.” ‘Nuff said!

"I Kinda want him to say the line unironicaly by the end of the movie..." Hoo no you don't 😢

Klaatu (nebula) is the name of the alien who visits Earth in the sci-fi classic The Day they Earth Stood Still (the original).

Sigourney said it was so obvious that she said F**k that and the dubbed screw that over it….there’s a documentary about Galaxy Quest talking to cast, crew and fans and it’s really interesting. Lotta love for Alan Rickman 😢

This is one of my favorite movies!

Love this film! Thanks for the reaction! And, yeah. Tony S. character was high during this whole thing. :)

Never Surrender is a GREAT documentary about the making of the movie. The comics also have a great story between the movie's adventure and The Journey Continues. Apparently did so well, there's a lot more GQ comics now! I thought there was only a one off "sequel"!
