I love how Guy spent the whole movie worrying about being the expendable crewman, yet when Saris shot everyone he was the only one who DIDN'T die.

[@robling1937]

I think my favorite part of this movie is Alan Rickman's character and performance. It is a great homage to Leonard Nemoy and his complicated relationship with his character Spock. The spark notes are Leonard Nemoy was a classically trained actor that much prefer stage and Shakespeare to sci fi and campiness. When Star Trek took off and became popular, he was no longer taken seriously by the general public and couldn't get any acting jobs other than Spock, so he could basically just do Star Trek and conventions. But after a long time, he came around to be thankful for the chance to play such an iconic character and grew to love the fan base that lifted him to stardom.

[@jeanine6328]

Fred is high the entire movie. That’s why he’s so chill and constantly snacking. But, to get the rating they wanted, they had to remove references to the pot.

[@idea2go]

Even better to notice it instead of be told, just like real life!

Tony Shalhoub, who played Fred, is a national treasure. He first came to fame on the tv show Wings in the 1990s, but is most known for playing Adrian Monk on the show Monk. He also played the title character’s father on “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.” He’s been a supporting actor in lots of films, but if I had to pick one to watch, it would be “Big Night.” The movie is about two brothers running a small Italian restaurant, and culminates with the ultimate Italian dinner. Be warned that even if you eat just prior to watching, you will immediately want to go eat again after viewing this.

[@terri2494]

“Big Night” was a good movie. I saw it in the theater with my best friend, who is a second generation American with Sicilian roots. She was telling me the names of the dishes they were preparing for the big dinner. And yes, it really made me want to go to a good Italian restaurant and order something totally outside of my meager budget. Tony Shalhoub also played an alien pawn shop owner in “Men in Black”. He really is a great actor!

[@denysmace3874]

The perfect (respectful) take on original Star Trek, even down to the captain losing his shirt for no real reason!

[@joshdavis3743]

Not just Star Trek, there are many different movies/shows, although the primary one is Star Trek.

[@MarkM430]

There are a thousand ways this could have gone wrong and everyone involved dodged them all. Many fans of this movie have gone on to say this is a missing Star Trek episode. This movie takes the fans seriously, but not itself. Perfect.

[@Rocco1332]

Need to check out Never Surrender: A Galaxy Quest Documentary. This is a love letter to fans, as near a perfect movie as can get. "I had originally not wanted to see Galaxy Quest because I heard that it was making fun of Star Trek. Then Jonathan Frakes rang me up and said ‘You must not miss this movie! See it on a Saturday night in a full theater.’ And I did, and of course I found it was brilliant. Brilliant. No one laughed louder or longer in the cinema than I did." - Patrick Stewart

[@BigGator5]

"Never give up. Never surrender." Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of Rainn Wilson and Justin Long. Casting Notes Fact: Laliari is the first main role Missi Pyle landed in a feature film. Her role was expanded after the producers noticed Sigourney Weaver was the only female main character. Fan Boy Fact: Tim Allen admitted that he was quite star-struck when he met Sigourney Weaver, as he's a huge fan of Alien (1979). Allen even asked Weaver to sign some of his Alien Franchise memorabilia between takes. She ultimately did. Red Shirt Lives Fact: Despite frequent whining about his character Crewman Number Six being expendable and going to die, Guy Fleegman (Sam Rockwell) is the only crew member not to be shot and killed by Sarris (Robin Sachs) during his surprise assault towards the end.

[@terri2494]

I’ve watched this many times and never recognized Rainn Wilson! Thanks for sharing.

[@BigGator5]

terri2494 ...Under heavy make-up, Wilson is barely recognizable. You are in very good company, not noticing him. You're welcome. Have a great week. Go in Peace and Walk with God. 😎 👍

[@kellrik66]

I always recognized Missi Pyle for her role as Ms. Pasternak on Two and a Half Men.

[@babayagaslobbedaknobba]

"By Grabthar's hammer" is inspired by "Live Long and Prosper" and how tired Leonard Ninoy was of fans saying that to him.

[@NOLAgenX]

One of my favorites of all-time. This was brilliant casting, writing, humor, satire, and execution. A pure pleasure to watch over and over. Hope you like it!

[@kurtisschilk1218]

We missed you C.I., you've been gone for a minute......Welcome back!

[@anyviolet]

There's a fine line between parody and homage. This movie walked it perfectly, all the way through. And managed to be a love letter to Star Trek fans to boot. Great reaction and thanks for posting.

[@jimhsfbay]

‘The crew and I are in trouble & we need your help!’ What every Star Something fan dreams about hearing!

[@Wolvorine]

Glad you enjoyed it, this is by far the best Star Trek movie. :} Also, yes Fred (Tony Shaloob) was meant to be stoned through most of the movie (thus why he was so chill). There were deleted scenes that made it more obvious, but the things left in were the paper bag he was carrying around (which held snacks) and a little puff of smoke that appeared when his teleport sheath dissipated after he first arrived on the ship.

[@MichaelLesesne]

First contact is the best Star Trek movie.

[@torontomame]

This movie was such a happy surprise. A few of us decided to see a movie one Saturday afternoon, and went to see this because we liked a lot of the cast. It was SO much more than we'd expected. Everyone on the cast was giving it their all and the fan-service story was brilliant. Most of us had grown up in the 70s with parents who were fans of the original Star Trek series, and we were steeped in all things Trek. One of my high school friends even had the set of Star Trek blueprints. So the fact that the fans helped save the day was a bonus.

[@MagicianNoriginal]

Love this movie! Just seeing your thumbnail made me chuckle. Thank you Caped!

[@MrLouis2865]

My favorite. The acting is stellar. Nice to see somebody enjoy a movie that’s high on my list.🎉😊

[@shainewhite2781]

LOVE THIS MOVIE! One of the best Star Trek movies ever made! Its also a spoof of the franchise. It's also inspired by Three Amigos, where actors are mistaken for real heroes, where they must fight off a powerful villain.

[@michaelnuzzo5698]

Fred was played by Tony Shalhoub, most famous for playing the title character in the show Monk.

[@melenatorr]

He's a great actor: he's also in "Big Night", where he plays a completely different character from either Fred or Monk - one of those actors who can absorb themselves totally into whatever they do.

[@merchillio]

Fun detail: Guy spends the whole movie worrying about getting killed and during the last shootout with Sarris, he's the only one not getting shot. And yes, Sarris' costume is amazing

[@zmarko]

This was such a surprise when this movie came out. Just brilliantly funny. It became an instant classic.

[@johnfallon3525]

"Miners, NOT minors" my favorite line!! 😅

[@dneill8493]

Alan Rickman perfectly portrays someone who's soul is dying on the inside when he says the line "By Grabthar's hammer.......what a savings"

[@stevesheroan4131]

I’ve read (in multiple comment threads including this one) that the bathroom scene actually happened to Shatner. What nobody really comments on is the ego-crushing situation of this guy (who is supposed to be a pretty big celebrity, or at least that’s how he sees himself) having to use the public restroom in the first place. A convention this big should probably have a private bathroom for any “A-list” talents. I doubt anyone is standing next to Jonathan Frakes at a urinal at many Star Trek TNG conventions, and I think the implication here is that other than a few rabid fans, this cast is mostly forgotten at the time setting of the movie. When seen through that lens, it would cut pretty deep to hear people talking that way, and then coming to the realization that you’ve been deluding yourself and that you really are a “has-been”.

[@476429]

The practical and make-up effects were done by *the* Stan Winston. In case you are unfamiliar with his work, here are just a few of the movies he's worked on: The Thing, Aliens, Terminator (1-5), Predator (1 And 2), Jurassic Park (1-3), Iron Man, and Avatar.

[@Blue-qr7qe]

Sam Rockwell has some of Gary Oldman's chameleon capabilities. This was plenty unlike any other characters i'd seen him play before: the xtra who dies in episode.... Actually, he's got great chops. Tony Sholhoub is probably best known for his role as detective Monk, the OCD dective on the TV series, Monk.

[@McLir]

One of my all-time favorite movies. Thanks!

[@candicelitrenta8890]

I've loved this one since I first saw it. It did not have a big fanfare at first, but it has gained quite the cult status since it's release. They were going to do a sequel but Alan Rickman died so that never happened. Seems like they are going to do something with it however not sure what

[@Serai3]

And you really don't need to have seen Star Trek. You've soaked up just enough of it from the surrounding culture to get what's going on. That's a really well-written film. The actor who played Sarris calls him Attila the Crab.

[@streetdogg8206]

This movie had no business being as good as it is. On paper it kinda sounds like trash, but somehow the stars aligned on that one! :D Every single character is good or great, the story is alright, the jokes work. I don't know how they did it, but they did.

[@nowthatisawesome5431]

Want to see more Fred? Watch the show called Monk. He was the star. 🤗

[@ysmith494]

Notice how Cyress shoots everyone on the command deck except for Guy. 😂😂😂

[@Otokichi786]

"Cyress"? There's no Country singers in this movie.;) "Sarris" is a proper villain's name.

[@CrownlessKing88]

The reason the “chill guy” is so chill is explained in a deleted scene. He smokes some you know what. Haha

[@danielkillian1222]

They edited out the Fred's pot smoking scenes. Somehow it still makes sense and is funny.

[@AneudiD78]

Somewhere out there is the PG-13 version of this film. I really needed Gwen to say that F-bomb instead of poorly dubbing it.

[@dingleberrysnigglefritz]

Way underrated movie.

[@coreymason7017]

The fact young Laredo is played by a young Corbin bleu. I didn’t even realize it until I saw him in little shop of horrors off Broadway and saw that credit in his bio.

[@angelagraves865]

The Thermians are the best movie aliens ever. 😆💜

[@browniewin4121]

I love this movie, it's one of my favorites. I have seem this so many times over the years since it was new and enjoy it every time. Such a good story that pays homage to Star Trek and with a most excellent cast.

[@joerenaud8292]

Missy Plyle was the alien female who played in several Tim burton movies such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

4:45 This scene is actually not so fictional. Something similar happened to William Shatner once.

[@robertmorris8997]

The fans badmouthing the actor actually happened to William Shatner.

[@JamesASharp]

This film is a classic comedy that'll live forever. Great reaction bro! 👍🏿

[@CrownlessKing88]

I hate that you can tell Sigourney Weaver actually said “Well fuck that!”but they changed it to where she says “well, screw that!”

[@TomCat777]

Tim Allen also had a show for 9 seasons called Last Man Standing and he does the voice of Woody from Toy Story

[@robertmorris8997]

"Not minors, MINERS." you lost me

[@Alan_CFA]

I always think of Sigourney Weaver as Ripley or as a serious actress - her role in “The Year of Living Dangerously” comes to mind. I tend not to associate her with comedy. But she was in Ghostbusters! So yes, she can do comedy! This was a great role for her, an actress typecast to a role. She is an aging sexpot who still has to act at conventions like she did in her mid 20’s, even though she is now in her 40’s; the leg kick and the hands on hips during her intro at the convention cracked me up. It was demeaning in her 20’s to play a “useless female” who was there for only for her looks. Now, she is more humiliated at having to be in that role 18 years later. A great change from Ripley and a wonderful performance by Weaver as well as the rest of the cast.

[@jakesigalmix]

Im pretty sure I saw Tony Shalhoub drive by me in a Porsche yesterday. (I live in NYC)

[@TomCat777]

If I'm not mistaken over of the actors who plays one of the aliens was in episodes of Star Trek Enterprise. He played a character called Daniels. I don't want to say more in case you decide to watch the show, I don't want to give spoilers

[@neneshubby]

I had almost the same exact reaction when I rented it 20 years ago, it looked cheesy and silly but I thought I’d give it a shot and I loved it. Never seen anyone watch ‘Galaxy Quest’ for the first time who doesn’t like it

[@Otokichi786]

"Galaxy Quest": The best "Star Trek" movie that Paramount didn't make. I find it sad that the "postmodern writers" of today's Hollyweird can't write anything remotely as interesting. This has "The Last Starfighter" (1984) or "Tremors" (1990) vibe: An underrated B-movie that reaches A-level due to great writing and great actors.

[@babayagaslobbedaknobba]

This movie is even better and funnier when you're familiar with the Star Trek universe.

[@alexandrialucius8351]

Missy Pile plays Lailani has been in Pushing Daisies and Jumanji Welcome to the Jungle as the P.E. teacher.

[@jlerrickson]

God, I love this film. If you want to watch Alan Rickman really have a complete blast playing against type, check out "The Search for John Gissing". Also, Tony Shalhoub is a master in his role as Adrian Monk, a private investigator nearly crippled by OCD. "Monk" is completely worth your time.

[@2eurocoin]

Go watch the making of Galaxy Quest, fantastic insight and great on its own

[@passenthrualaska3293]

If you really enjoyed Fred, played by Tony Shalhoub you might like another kooky character played by the actor, Monk, in the show of the same name. He plays a man with extreme OCD, kinda a 180 from Fred, anyways... basically Monk uses his condition and the hyper awareness it gives him, to solve crimes. It's a comedy crime drama, ran for several seasons.

[@pricemoore2022]

Awesome reaction of my favorite DreamWorks movie!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊

[@robertmorris8997]

You must have got hammered, what with the no copyright stuff all over the screen.

[@GentleGiantJason]

Tim Allen gets to semi reprise his Buzz Lightyear role in this movie

[@tilmanreiss]

Dude, I usually look forward to your reactions (and I love this movie), but the copyright message is killing it for me.

[@Otokichi786]

This semi-translucent text isn't as bad as others. A "Gravity Falls" reactor's "tank crew viewing slit" turns his otherwise great videos into a radio show. Others use a "fabric pattern" so thick that it might as well be a Podcast. This channel's rap song/video in the middle is unique and a WTF? moment.

[@StripedAssedApe]

Caaaw! *Caaaw* Jason!

[@williamkerner3758]

Watch "RED" from 2012 with Bruce Willis, funnier than you would expect.

I hate that you have to do so much to your video and audio to not have it taken down. I actually really enjoy your videos and I can't stand reacrion channels; I hate them. However, your channel is genuine and I relate to it and I'm so thankful I can relive some of my favorite movies through your eyes and laugh at the jokes again or get hit with dramatic scenes again like new.

[@stevesilsby5288]

Great reaction to a very good, very funny film. Next, Please do a reaction to "Being There" (1979). It's the best movie you've never seen! I'ts sharp political satire with a lot of heart and humanity; plus it's funny as hell !!!

lol, 50k subscribers, 200 watched in the first hour. Sure. Buy more subscribers, maybe one day it'll look impressive.

[@BarnDoorProductions]

Enjoyed the reaction, but you need to read up on copyright. "No copyright intended" really has no meaning. You need to research the 'fair use' clause and how it applies to what you're doing.

[@CapedInformer]

It’s just a watermark so the copyright bots don’t find and claim my video. It’s “fair use” but the studios still can try to claim my earnings

[@ArtamStudio]

The phrase is "no infringement intended" but if you add the word "copyright" it's too long - and "copyright" is definitely the key word, so I can understand CI's alliteration.

[@user-tn8kl3if5g]

Cant watch your reaction vids with that copyright garbage plastered across the entire screen. shame.

[@Otokichi786]

At least you can see most of the action; some KZbin reactors use a "tank crew viewing slit" or "fabric texture screen," which turns their video into a radio show.
