Movie
"Galaxy Quest" is a humorous spoof on Star Trek and the
Trekkie/Convention scene. Tim Allen stars as actor Jason Nesmith,
Commander and star of the show. He along with the other actors have
fallen on hard times, earning their money appearing at conventions and
local Grand Openings.
Their lives change when real aliens -- the Thermians -- arrive on Earth
to request the aid of the Galaxy Quest crew. It seems that these aliens
have no concept of deception. Having received television signals from
Earth (must not be very far away), they truly believe that Nesmith and
his co-stars are real interstellar heroes.

Armed with a
real version of their old ship, can the actors turn into
heroes and stop the evil General Sarris from destroying the Thermians?
DVD
There is a 10-minute behind the scenes featurette and a 9-minute,
7-scene deleted scenes segment. Cast and crew bios and the trailer are
the other extras.
Recommendations
It's a fun movie that Trekkers and anyone else who's a little familiar
with Star Trek will enjoy. |
