I think honestly this movie is subtly telling people not to believe everything they watch, even if its labeled as a "documentary" or "biography". Human beings never evolved with television of movie screens and its scientifically been proven that watching anything on a screen can imprint into your memories as if it was real. I think its also saying that the aliens never considered producing works of fiction or lying.

The fact that a movie that ridicules everything about Star Trek (the "hokey" premise, the actors being typecast and coming to resent their roles, the conventions, and even the fans themselves) manages to become beloved by Star Trek fans shows how incredible this movie is. Never give up, never surrender!

Disagree with the first part. This movie doesn't ridicule - to ridicule is to do parody with a hurtful intent. Rather it is parody of Trek but it is done from a place of respect. That is why people who like Trek also like this movie.

[@turbopokey]

I always thought it would be awesome if the Galaxy Quest franchise took the place of Star Trek in the Star Trek universe. As for Thermians in the Trek universe, since the only remaining Thermians were the ones on the Protector, they might have gone extinct before any of the Trek shows or maybe they puttered off to the far side of the galaxy and started a little colony there, I dunno, I’m just brainstorming…

[@seanriopel3132]

I was pleasantly surprised. Star Trek had been spooked countless times but this really helped acknowledge it's comedic tropes whole being original and funny at the same time. And Sigourney was smoking hot as a blond.

The scene where one of the Thermians dies, and Rickman does his monologue is one of the best scenes in cinema. Given that Rickman's character despised saying his catch phrase line throughout the movie, then delivers it with so pure acting talent is stunning. Right up there with Tears in Rain scene. Not kidding.

[@sueprice3315]

I liked that they all had an arc of going from despising their characters, to appreciating how much their characters meant to others. Rickman's character is the best example: from "I'm not going to say that stupid line again" to willingly saying that line, because he saw what a great gift it was to a dying man (Thermian), to be told those words.

[@submandave1125]

@@sueprice3315 I'd say the arc was not so much from despising their characters (Nesmith was far too enamored with his character), but of feeling their characters lacked significance. They all felt their characters (and to a degree their lives) were unimportant, and the journey taught them to appreciate the meaning they had to others, and even themselves.

I got the impression the thermians are a gentle parody of fans, sometimes they can get a little awkward but their enthusiasm for the show is so sincere and it needs to be respected.

[@TheZacula]

Absolutely. They're super-invested in the show, so much so they made it their whole lives... but they're also *brilliant*, brave, and heartfelt, turning the imagination of the in-universe Galaxy Quest's writers into reality (as happened a few times with Star Trek). Very much a loving parody of fans.

[@LYLEWOLD]

I love this movie. Had no idea Enrico Colantoni was so instrumental in shaping what it is to be a Thermian. He had a huge impact on that movie. Glad he got the credit and respect from his peers that he had truly earned.

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

The story goes that shortly after the movie's release Jonathan Frakes who plays Commander Riker on Star Trek the Next Generation called his friend Patrick Stewart and asked him if he had seen this movie yet and Sir Patrick said he had not planned on seeing it. Jonathan told him, "Oh, you must! It's fantastic!" and they saw it together. It's too bad that it didn't do well enough to warrant a sequel, sadly, but has a large following to this day. What surprised me was how touching some parts of it were, unexpectedly. For example when Alexander Dane (Alan Rickman) says his "By Grapthar's hammer..." line with feeling and emotion (for the first time in his career) to the dying Thermian. Everyone needs to see this deleted scene with Tech Sargent Chen (who, you'll remember, is actually a moron): It's the first scene here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5OXpGh5m7V3ars

[@johnspence8141]

Im so happy they did this clip, because that movie had far more depth than anyone realizes. To perfectly mock yet reflect the whole star trek series, both behind and in front of the camera, with accurate reflections on William shatner as the actor AND James Kirk as the role, combined with a story thats compelling, combined with what could have been ridiculously corny stuff without the performances. Just genius how it all came together. Imagine someone like Megan Fox or even Vin Diesel as the lead alien, and you'll realize quickly how bad this could have been. Also the comedic performances, especially the Mathusar and Sam Rockwell, just fantastic. Great writing, great acting, not-getting-in-the-way directing...perfectly done. It also reflects how good writing can be elevated by incredibly perceptive actors who don't try to mug to the camera.

[@kittytreats6536]

re: "This movie was so well made that, I think, most people couldn't see the nuances and cultural references they were witnessing." exactly this is a VERY SPECIFIC movie intended to appeal to a VERY SPECIFIC type of fan/person and would likely not have broad appeal (even with the all-star cast). if one was not in this demographic, i suspect a lot of it went over their heads. however if you were IN this demographic you've now likely it watched it several times over the past 20+ years and considered it an "instant classic" in the context of Sci-Fi related genre

God bless Enrico for that voice thing and Missi for the awkward smiles and God bless literally everyone else who made the Thermians really shine. Both hilarious and ultimately touching in the end. I care more for these characters from a parody than I do for lead characters in most modern blockbusters. To do one or the other is one thing but to pull both of these off at once and with the same characters is something else entirely. Kudos also to Tim Allen and of course Alan Rickman for the same. What a magical cast! Everyone was spot on! So many things coming together perfectly to make this a true masterpiece. ::chef's kiss::

[@dunbar9finger]

What makes Galaxy Quest work so well is that underneath the parody is an actual engaging plot about characters you care about. And the Thermians being "cute" in trying and failing to emulate humans is such a big part of that. Even it it wasn't a parody you'd still care about the characters and their plight, and still find the tactical twist "this ship is dragging mines" an excellent plot point.

Galaxy Quest is one of only a handful of perfect movies ever made, it is a sheer delight from start to finish. Perfectly cast, beautifully scripted and sublimely well made. It manages to cover some serious issues in a way that is meaningful but without preaching or alienating anyone.

What a brilliant movie. I always wished there had been a sequel (or even a series)!

[@kasession]

I heard they were talking about it, but then Alan Rickman passed away. Still breaks my heart that he's not with us any more.

[@jdavidfletcher]

I think it would have been spoiled by repeated attempts to recapture the magic. It is perfect as it is.

[@BlackDoveNYC]

Just watching the bits from the movie reminds me of how funny the film actually was. Great to see and hear how it was developed.

[@RSpracticalshooting]

I absolutely adore this movie. Sheer comedic perfection.

[@johnmckee6483]

We need another two or three more movies like this I really enjoyed it I'm a Star Trek fan and I really enjoy Galaxy Quest because it's completely different from all the rest I believe it's one of the best ones I've ever seen

[@darioinfini]

As great as any of the best of the sci fi genre. Top film. HIGHLY underrated.

[@HariSeldon913]

The Thermian acting is even wilder if you're used to Enrico being Elias on Person of Interest.

[@billmcdonald9115]

How about Enrico as the photog in TV's 'Just Shoot Me.' The character ran for 5 years.

[@mattwho81]

Loved that at the end the thermians think all that truth was a way to trick the bad guys. “all maDe uP, ShiP A’s BiG as tHIs... A moSt ClevEr decePtiOn Indeed!”

[@fantasyqwest]

This movie, is by far, one of my all time favorites....in the entire galaxy 😁

[@Karimsatta]

I went to see that movie 7 times in a row back then when it came out. Not only did I love the movie itself but I also really loved and enjoyed being in a theater full of people amongst a laughing and joyous crowd. This connection with others through the movie was a great experience!

[@kevinb3812]

I only wish I’d known about it’s magic and had seen in in a theatre! It’s great to laugh as an audience!

[@stephenjones101]

This is one of my all-time favorite movies. It came out around 6 months after I finished grad school, and was settling in to a new job and apartment. So I suspect I was too busy to see any movies at the time. I picked the DVD up on sale at Walmart many years later. But it's just the type of quirky, unique movie I really love. This video on the Thermians was excellent as well. They did such a good job portraying a very strange and funny race of aliens that were lovable as well. You actually end up caring about their survival and don't really mind the love scene at the end between the human and the tentacled alien. Somehow that made her human form all the more sexier.

[@Gamble661]

Galaxy Quest is an absolute classic and I'm glad they never tried a sequel because they never would have been able to top it. This is one of those movies that I have to watch every couple of years and it never fails to make me laugh and feel good. And until I watched this video I never realized how beautiful Missy Pyle is!

[@Rick9482]

Yup, it's a well deserved classic. They just nailed everything perfectly. Always in danger of another watch. I've seen it 4 times already but haven't yet started repeated the lines as they played so, you know, I got that to look forward too.

[@PapaDragon123]

Amateur, when you reach 40+ viewings you may brag.😉 Just kidding all fans welcome.

[@quicksilverhorseman2]

I've got the entire script memorized!

[@jdavidfletcher]

They should show this on Friday nights at the local bijou rather than Rocky Horror. Way better.

[@joediver7669]

What a great movie. Wow seeing Alan Rickman really hit me in the feels. Wasn't ready for that.

[@keithnottellin7188]

Alan Rickman one of the best actors ever.... God bless you, you are missed

[@jtno2]

The guy that played Mathazar(?) was great! Actually ALL the Thermians were awesome! I like how they really got into their roles as aliens.

[@labibbidabibbadum]

I was in a hotel in Bangkok, turned on the TV and flicked on to Galaxy Quest. I almost kept flicking channels but something held me there (I think it might have been "... hang on... is that Sigourney Weaver?"). First of about 9 million times through for me. It's pure joy every time. And did anyone ever see the DVD easter egg where the whole movie is overdubbed in untranslated Thermian? Just so perfect.

[@mikehzz9848]

Missy Pyle is so funny

[@xaenon]

She ain't hard on the eye, either.

[@johntrevy1]

Looks kind of like Daisy Ridley.

[@MrVanderwel]

[@johntrevy1]

@@MrVanderwel She is still cute DR.

[@hannahalice1000]

I had always thought they were doing "dolphins trying to be humans" as a directors instruction. The mentioned tonal warble when speaking English. The alien "chittering" language. The sleek grey suits. The pasted down hair. The arms and legs that didn't quite work as arms and legs. Even the fixed smile as a dolphin grin. A bit galling that I had read far too much into the aliens character development

[@emix1010]

Then again, who knows what conspired to inspire Mr Colantoni ? May he be praised for his contribution in the creation of these beloved characters. BTW, I will look differently at them keeping your take on this in mind, next time around. Shouldn’t be long :-)

Can't blame a fella for going alien over Missi Pyle

[@mrfungus4202]

It's hard to combine loving homage with bitingly sharp satire, but GQ managed that feat.

[@crashburn3292]

What an impossible task: "Let's mock Star Trek but get the Trekkies to love it." ..And they pulled it off.

[@rse1113]

Shout out to the great Alan Rickman. What a treasure he was.

[@francischambless5919]

This is one of the greatest movies ever made. Fantastic work on everyone's part! God I miss this Hollywood.

[@tropolite]

An ALL TIME Favorite of mine... So many great actors just having so much fun! And what a script!! I've watched Galaxy Quest so many times... I think I'll have to watch it again now. Alan Rickman we miss you in the Entertainment world. I just finished watching the Monk series again with Tony Shalhoub... what a special show that was. So touching and funny at the same time. Tim, Sigourney, Enrico, Missi always such a pleasure to see them in action whatever character they depict. Why haven't we ever had a hint of a sequel even before Alan passed? That my biggest disappointment.

[@TacShooter]

My father was a Trekkie and I was an Alphan. We both enjoyed watching this movie together. It really has everything and manages to pull off every aspect.

[@michaelnash2138]

Alphan as in Space:1999? I only ever saw the first season since the station didn't pick up the second season in KC.

[@TacShooter]

@@michaelnash2138 The 2nd Season was Americanized. Feels different. I still enjoyed it, but Season 1 was more cerebral.

[@harlequinems]

No matter what Alan Rickman is in, or doing, when he speaks he is absolutely mesmerising
