[@margretrosenberg420]

@@VadersRage I think they did. That's the moment Alexander Dane comes to terms with this character he hates, the character that's held him back all these years, and grows into his role. It's his personal epiphany, and his entire story arc has been aimed at this moment. I think that's why they cast Alan Rickman as Alexander Dane; the role *requires* a great actor to bring that moment off, so they got a great actor.

[@robertlombardo8437]

@@margretrosenberg420 It's a parallel to Leonard Nimoy and how much he hated Spock when the series first came out. Then people came up to him years after the show had aired and told him that Spock's example of remaining as logical and rational as possible had been hugely influential on their lives. Some of them even said that Spock's example had been like a father figure to them because they didn't have fathers of their own. And that was when Nimoy embraced Spock as pretty much the role of his life. For the first time ever "Live long and prosper." became real.

[@margretrosenberg420]

@@robertlombardo8437 Yes, I know. This whole movie is a tribute to Trek, and to Trek fans. At least in part it's a rebuke to Shatner's Saturday Night Live skit where he told fans to "Get a life." (Spoiler: This did *not* go over well with the fans.) The difference is that in GQ, Alexander Dane realizes the importance of his character only when one of his "fans" dies. Nimoy, to his great credit, didn't require a wake-up call that was that extreme.

[@waterbeauty85]

3:23 The way the Thermians speak is based on a vocal exercise that many stage actors do to warm up their voices before a performance. When Enrico Colantoni auditioned t play Mathesar, he first did his reading in a normal voice and then did it in the signature up and down intonation, and the director loved it. As he got into the role, Colantoni came up with the facial expressions and odd way the Thermians move, and basically created the whole physicality for the Thermian species, and when extras arrived on set to play background Thermians, they were told "See that guy (pointing to Colantoni)? Do what he does." I love Mathesar, and I think Enrico Colantoni's performance is brilliant.

[@kaojinn]

Absolutely! The Thermians are the catalyst to get the adventure rolling, and they needed to be memorable. What better way than to pretend to be an alien, pretending to be a human? :)

[@Daniel092004]

It was even more than that. They made the extras attend a week-long "alien school" with him to really get their mannerisms properly inhuman. There's a whole video doc about it.

*Because Guy wasn't worth shooting.*

[@tbirdparis]

Btw, there's a famous quote from the renowned filmmaker/dramaturgist David Mamet, where he counts Galaxy Quest as one of the four "perfect" films ever made. On the one hand it seems easy to dismiss a comedy film like this as not being "serious" film making... but when you look at how incredibly well it achieves all its goals - pop cultural satire, a perfectly balanced comedy script with pathos and genuine emotion, brilliant casting, a storyline that works on multiple levels effortlessly, a gloriously bombastic musical score, a near-perfect arc for every single main character etc etc - it becomes pretty clear that this film is very much something rare and special.

[@BrendonChase_2015]

Yep, perfect in every possible sense, not to mention eminently quotable. Galaxy Quest is everything The Three Amigos could have been. A film that only rivals GQ in the quotability department.

[@Ambaryerno]

Don't forget that despite being a parody, it's very obviously a love letter to the target and wasn't being done out of mockery or malice.

[@jayeisenhardt1337]

"David Mamet, where he counts Galaxy Quest as one of the four "perfect" films ever made." The Princess Bride has to be on that list. People watch it a million times and keep saying one more time.

[@Jeff_Lichtman]

This is pretty much a perfect movie. The character of Fred (Tony Shaloub) was supposed to be stoned all the time. But to get a PG rating they cut out all the scenes that show drugs. This is why he was shown eating so much, and why he always seemed so loopy. Similarly, Gwen (Sigourney Weaver) was in a seduction scene that they cut, which is why her costume was torn open with no explanation. One thing I like about Galaxy Quest is that it portrays the nerdy fans with real affection.

[@DoremiFasolatido1979]

What's funny about Gwen's "purpose" on the ship, is that...in the show, the writers just wanted her for eye-candy. They gave her a stupid job of repeating the computer because she was only there to look good, and nothing else. But, the Thermians don't understand that. They thought she had a legitimate and necessary job to do. So they interpreted her role as being "in charge of" the computer. Like, if anybody wanted the computer to do something, they had to go through her...it wouldn't simply accept commands from just anyone. She had to give the computer commands. So, what we see in the movie is that when Jason or anyone asks the computer to do something, or answer a question, it basically ignores ALL of them. But it immediately and exactly does whatever Gwen tells it to do. And that means...if anything had happened to Gwen (or whichever Thermian had her job before they were all picked up), then they literally can't use the ship anymore.

[@smartalec2001]

"A chillingly realistic documentary." - George Takei, on Galaxy Quest

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

So many great parts in this movie, but one of my favorites is when Gwen says, "Surely you don't think 'Gilligan's Island' is..." and then Mathesar says "Those poor people". I almost peed myself the first time I heard that. And when Dr Lazarus says the "By Grapthar's hammer" line to the dying Thermian - but with feeling - it is surprisingly emotional, much to many people's surprise.

True story: At a Star Trek convention shortly after this movie came out, people were asked to rank their favorite Star Trek movies from best to worst and this movie came in 4th...even though it's not even a Star Trek movie! That is quite impressive. Also, Jonathan Frakes (Commander William Riker) of Star Trek the Next Generation asked Patrick Stewart (Captain Picard) if he had seen the movie yet and Sir Stewart said he had not and sort of blew it off, but Frakes told him he really should see it and the two of them went to see it (and loved it).

[@Ambaryerno]

Stewart didn't blow it off. He had refused to see it because he was afraid that it was going to mock the fanbase. He was always VERY serious about treating the fans with respect. Even though we sometimes CAN be a bit annoying.

[@RaderizDorret]

@@Ambaryerno Yup. Jonathan Frakes is cut from the same cloth in regards to respecting the fans so when Frakes told Stewart that Galaxy Quest was "must see", Stewart went to a local cinema without any fanfare to a sold-out showing. He found the movie to be brilliant and was in stitches from laughing at the good-natured humor and jabs but also found the plot point of the superfans being the ones who ultimately saved the day to be the most brilliant bit of writing he'd seen in a parody film.

One thing this movie gets so well is how "real" the space sequence feels, especially when the ship first gets out of port (also the first time it gets revealed before that).

I comment every time i see someone react to this.. Johnathan Frakes (Riker on TNG) called up Sir Patrick Stewart (Picard) and told him that he had to go see this film. Stewart originally didn't want to see it because he thought it was going to be making fun of the Star Trek fans he had been meeting at conventions and speaking to and he loved. He said he saw it in a crowded theater and laughed and loved it, that it was a homage to the fans and was taking the piss out of the actors themselves and not the characters they portrayed.

Best Star Trek Parody ever and yes also a special tribute to the fans as well. It shows us what would happen if the cast of the original series were mistaken for real space heroes and must fight off an intergalactic warlord.

[@rufus5966]

Back when they were first making Star Trek novels, there was one called Star Trek: The New Voyages. One of the stories was called Visit to a Weird Planet Revisited, it was a very well written short story where William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy and I think DeForest Kelly somehow beam off the set of Star Trek onto the real Enterprise. They have to play out their roles and ultimately confide in Scotty who helps him get back. There are some great lines in it. Shatner and Nimoy go on to the bridge and Shatner says something like 'status report Mr Sulu' and Nimoy looks over at him and says 'smart ass', Uhura looks at Spock and Spock just raises an eyebrow. LOL it is so worth the read and yeah it will remind you of Galaxy Quest which Galaxy Quest reminds you of Star Trek.

[@thereturningshadow]

Many of us do NOT think of this movie as a parody.

[@lurkerrekrul]

Some stuff you might not get... Jason/The Commander - is a parody of William Shatner/Captain Kirk. Shatner had a reputation for wanting to be the center of attention, which sometimes annoyed the other cast members. He had several shirtless scenes in the show, which people often make fun of. He also once went off on a fan, much like the character in the movie, telling him to get a life and that Star Trek was just a TV show. Alexander/Dr. Lazarus - Is a parody of Leonard Nimoy/Mr. Spock. After Star Trek, everyone associated Leonard Nimoy with the character Spock, which greatly annoyed him, because he wanted to be known for more than just that one role. He even wrote a book called I Am Not Spock. He later softened his attitude and accepted that the fans loved him for that role, eventually writing another book called I Am Spock. Guy - Is a parody of all the guest stars on Star Trek who would show up for one episode to play a nameless crew member and then get killed off. The fans - They're a parody of all the fans who obsess about TV shows like Star Trek. Fans will debate all the fictional details of a show, draw plans for the ships, create replicas of the props, etc. When Jason is facing the rock monster and they tell him to try and make a weapon, that references an episode of Star Trek where Captain Kirk was alone on a planet with a powerful enemy alien and he had to make gunpowder, and a small, crude cannon to defeat him.

[@BillTheScribe]

Alan Rickman's delivery of "the line" always breaks me. it's such a testament to what a truly great performer he was. Guy was the terrible prisoner on The Green Mile. The female Thermian was the scary woman on the Cobras in Dodgeball. Both are incredible character actors who are great and often overlooked.

Quellig has hardly any screentime, but a few lines...though we never really get to know anything at all about him besides that he has adopted all of the cultural aspects of Dr Lazarus' species. And yet, when he dies, almost everyone gets a little choked up, or just straight-up cries. There's so much sincerity between Quellig and Alexander. He was never a "fan" of Dr Lazarus, because he thought that was a real person. And it was someone who, while having never met, had taught him so much, improved his life. When he says, "I've always considered you, as a father to me," we know he absolutely means it, not because he's exaggerating or because he's stupid...it's because it's as true as it could ever be. The Thermians have grown up with the show, just as its fans did, but to the Thermians...to Quellig...it was all real. And we see how much it means to Alexander, too. He resents everything about his character Dr Lazarus, right up to that very moment when Quellig gets shot. And then as Quellig speaks his last words, Alexander finally realizes not just how important his role was to Quellig, but how important it's been to so many. He, and all the rest of the cast, changed lives. And now one of those lives lay dying in his arms. And so he speaks the one line he'd always hated...but now cherishes.

Right. Some theaters had the curtains partially closed (to the 1.85:1 ratio), then opened them as the picture expanded.

The movie is full of references to bits in the original Star Trek TV show and movies as well as incidents from the actors' lives on the convention circuit. You don't really need to know the specifics to get the jokes, though, since the situations are generic enough that similar tropes have appeared in many other movies and shows. Knowing the background just adds another layer of appreciation.

26:47 _That's how you make an entrance!_ 😆😆😆

[@dunringill1747]

"Galaxy Quest" does a great job of spoofing both the Star Trek series' as well as the cast behind the shows. Although knowing the history would add reference depth for viewers, it is not needed to understand and enjoy this classic movie.

[@Caseytify]

I've heard that Patrick Stewart (Jean-Luc Picard) refused to watch the movie (believing it garbage) until a couple of Next Generation cast members talked him into it. He loved it. Coincidentally, 18 years is about the time that Star Trek: The Next Generation appeared after the original series was cancelled. The movie has been called a parody, but it's more a love letter to fandom in general, whether Star Trek, Star Wars, Buffy, etc. Fun Fact: Sam Rockwell screaming after the first transport wasn't in the script. Sigourney Weaver's startled reaction is genuine. Watch that scene again; she really jumps. Also, it's an open secret that Fred was stoned the whole time. That's why he was constantly looking for snacks, and was so laid back.

[@Ambaryerno]

Yep, Stewart at first refused to see it because he was afraid it was going to mock the fans (Stewart was always very serious about treating the fans with the utmost respect). It was Jonathan Frakes who convinced him to give it a chance.

[@jeremyfrost2636]

@@Ambaryerno Frakes was also very serious about treating the fans with respect, so his recommendation carried some weight. The fact that he liked it alleviated some of Stewart's fears about how bad it would be.

[@Caseytify]

I missed a Fun Fact earlier. When Madison & Taggert were being directed to the shut off switch, they have to crawl through some ducts. At one point Madison mutters "Ducts; why is it always ducts!?" in reference to her time in Alien.

[@RaderizDorret]

The really hilarious thing is the whole plot is kind of an inside joke in itself. An alien society modeling itself on "historical documents" that turn out to be fiction was the plot of Original Series Star Trek episode "A Piece of the Action" where a more primitive civilization got ahold of 1920s/1930s-era Mobster novels, mistook them for significant historical/religious documents, and modeled their entire civilization based on those works.

[@cwcroswell]

Dasha the actor playing “guy” is Sam Rockwell., wild bill from the green mile!! Such an amazing actor! And one of my favorite lines in movie history is when Sigourney Weaver yells hurry up before one of those things kills guy!!🤣🤣 Love this movie!!! 🙌🙌

[@redpmurt4957]

You have to show this movie to your father, if is a fan of Star Trek !

[@joemasters2270]

I like the fact that even non-Trak fans enjoyed this movie

[@anthonyrobertson2011]

I hadn't even heard about this movie until after it's release in theaters. It was on the cable tv channel HBO as a new release. I read their description of it, thought it sounded interesting, so I waited for the next showing in a few minutes. I laughed and laughed, being a slight star trek fan, so got the jokes. I thought "Why have I not heard about this!?".

[@priceringo1756]

Be sure that your dad, the Star Trek fan, sees this movie.

[@wratched]

There is a legend among Star Trek fans that this movie broke the Star Trek movie curse. For decades, odd numbered star trek movies were bad, while even numbered star trek movies were good. Then suddenly, we got two bad star trek movies in a row, and then the odd numbered ones started being good, while the even ones were bad. What changed? This movie came out between the two bad star trek movies, becoming the good even numbered one.

[@danfreeman5301]

This movie is on the Near-Perfect list.....because it belongs there!

[@lazyperfectionist1]

13:34 These Thermians are _such_ a curious race. They _personify_ brilliance in virtually _everything_ they do. But because they have no concept of deception, and because deception is the basis of all war (ask Sun Tzu), war is the _one_ thing for which they are _utterly_ unprepared.

[@lazyperfectionist1]

17:52 "We are all that is left." And _this_ is why you make it a point to study the ways of war. If nothing else, one day, your civilization's survival might _depend_ on it.

[@lazyperfectionist1]

18:45 _"He_ got it very _quickly."_ Yes. He has a concept of deception.

[@lazyperfectionist1]

24:29 "A very clever deception indeed!" Ah! He's got it, now!

[@tomyoung9049]

Fun reaction to a great movie. As I understand, many of the cast of the original Star Trek applauded this and consider it a love letter to their series.

[@jeremyfrost2636]

You understand correctly. And also, the Star Trek fans consider it an honorary Trek movie.

[@Sidewalkman1]

Love it when Guy freaks out.😄

[@stevemortorff7690]

Dasha, another wonderful reaction video (as usual). I love when Laliari (the alien girl) stays with Fred at the end.

[@OpenMawProductions]

There's a reason us life long Trekkers consider this film an honor Trek film. Even ranking it in the top five. It's just a great celebration of science fiction and nerd culture. A lot of the veteran Trek actors found it absolutely hysterical. One of the producers at the time basically said this film broke Star Trek because it nailed everything about the show so perfectly.

[@keitholsen8787]

When this came out, Patrick Stewart didn’t want to see because he thought it was a cheap parody until Jonathan Frakes told him to, he laughed more than everyone else in the theater.

[@rufus5966]

Rainn wilson, Dwight Schrute from the Office, plays one of the crewmen.

[@Flastew]

I always enjoyed this movie and watching with Dasha's reactions made even more enjoyable. Dasha, you have the greatest reactions and commentaries, so very cool.

[@fastecp1]

This movie is so funny, It has so many great one-liners that I love, "It's a rock! It doesn't have any vulnerable spots! Could they be the miners? Fred Kwan: Sure, they're like three years old. Sir Alexander Dane: MINERS, not MINORS. “Sure, they’re cute now. In a second, they’re going to get mean, and they’re going to get ugly somehow, and there’s going to be a million more of them.” -Guy. Gwen: Look, I have one job on this lousy ship. It's stupid, but I'm going to do it, okay?

[@billbennett9537]

Luv Sigourney Weaver and the twins in this role!

[@Fantomex.]

She has a very expressive face. She's so adorable 😍

[@danprice3603]

The alien planet with all the orange sandstone “hoodoos” is a place in Utah called Mushroom Valley or Goblin Valley (depending on who you ask) and is one of the coolest natural rock formations ever. It’s also an amazing place to take mushrooms.

[@nathancruz9172]

That’s what I researched it from the internet.

[@aerthreepwood8021]

I love this movie so much. I grew up more or less Jewish, so we didn't really celebrate Christmas, so we always went to the movies on that day and I saw this in theaters. . . 20+ years ago.

[@markking8228]

There is a language setting on the Disc version where you can watch the entire movie in the Thurmian language!

[@TheNativeEngine]

The director hated the studio's suggestion to levitate the limousine. He wanted the audience to be following along with Tim Allen's character. Imagine how good of a surprise it would've been.
