@Mary Cherry "Never give up, Never surrender" Is the main message the fans use. Also same frase has kept me alive and not give up (even with vorse and vorse health condition, spine and back nerve damage so constant extreme pain + some other now life long health problems that makes things even harder). But i will never give up and will never surrender.

Just read a couple comments but there is a story about the movie that is the BEST thing about Galaxy Quest. Patrick Stewart orignally didnt want to see the film. He felt from what he had heard/seen it was going to make fun of Star Trek and the Fans that made Trek what it is. Then Stewart gets a call from his friend Johnathan Frakes. Frakes says "You HAVE to go see this film on a friday when the theatre is packed". So Stewart did. According to him no one was laughing as loud or as hard as HIMSELF, he absolutely LOVES this film. Because it does the opposite of what he had thought, that its a loving TRIBUTE to Star Trek and just as much a tribute to the FANS of Star Trek.

[@happyninja42]

I loved how they portrayed Leonard Nimoy's impact on the fanbase through Spock, with Alan Rickman's character. How he became very jaded about his character, and the people that idolized him. But then, he realized, just how many people, had genuinely tried to model their life after the character he made, to be logical, to not let their emotions dictate their actions, and how many people genuinely benefited from that kind of mental discipline and structure to their lives, how Spock was literally a father figure for a lot of young people, who maybe didn't have such a role model growing up . And how Leonard eventually came back around to the impact of Spock as a positive force in the universe. And the way that played out with Quillick and Alan, it chokes me up EVERY time I see it. How the phrase that he had come to loathe, genuinely had meaning for him now. That his work wasn't a sham, that it meant something to people. Just so damn good.

I was at WorldCon (the World Science Fiction Convention) the year this movie won the Hugo for Best Dramatic Presentation.

The movie is actually widely love and well respected. Tim Allen once said that there are websites dedicated solely to hating Tim Allen (as a reasonably popular KZbinr, you know that celebrity inevitably draws a fair amount of haters) and that even the people on those websites love this movie.

[@HoracioAmiritoDiaz]

Fun Fact: The guy who died in episode 81 (named Guy actually haha) in this movie and the terrible prisoner from The Green Mile are played by the same actor Sam Rockwell. This is also Justin Long's first movie and when Tim Allen sees space for the first time the screen ratio changes to show Tim Allen's realization that it's all real.

The more you learn about Star Trek, and its fandom, the more you appreciate the characters in this movie, and how amazing this movie is! I'm a life-long Star Trek fan... and see ALL the tropes and archetypes in this movie in REAL Star Trek movies and in the Fandom. Galaxy Quest is the best Star Trek movie ever made!

[@kratosGOW]

I loved how they shoved a speculum in Sigourney’s face. 😂

[@armandomontillero8379]

Most of the actors thought that this movie is going to flap. They said it's gonna go straight to DVD. But yah I love this movie too.

[@handy864]

Sigourney Weaver shows up in "Paul" and "cabin in the woods" two really good movies and Tony shalhoub plays the dad in The family movie "13 ghosts" .. Also "Jeepers creepers" you should see Justin Long play with "the walrus."

[@jamesraykenney]

It is really amazing that the actor that played Captain Kirk(William Shatner) in the show this was (loosely) based on(Star Trek) actually got to go to space for real a month or so ago! Life imitating fiction!

[@stevendavis9655]

One of the special features on the DVD was an "alternate language track", where all the characters were speaking Thermian. It is hilarious for a bit with all of them speaking in those screechy voices, but does grow old after a while.

[@Ron_Rhodes]

I literally fell on the floor laughing for 10 minutes when I found this out for myself.

[@perrinklumpp4664]

I think the best part of that is when they are in the limo and everything is in Thermian except the work "coke" when they give him the drink.

[@LancerX916]

This is the best Star Trek movie. Also, they got the whole cast to agree to come back for an Amazon Prime series but sadly Alan Rickman passed away so they felt they could not go on without him.

[@handcannonart]

This movie and Evolution with David Ducovney came out around the same time and are both underated scifi comedies..

[@jaybea365]

I'm just impressed that will all the big name talent in the movie, Enrico Colantoni and baby Sam Rockwell steal every scene they are in.

[@Kesedrith]

"Awww he's saying it!" Not only is he saying it, but he was meaning it. :D

[@callmeshaggy5166]

For another movie you may have never seen or heard of that has an A-list cast top to bottom, I would highly suggest *Mars Attacks* from 1995.

[@samanthanickson6478]

absolutely!

[@davidmcgugan8076]

probably one of my favorite movies AND my favorite reactions that you've done. watching you truly enjoy it completely has made my day.

[@kamiinazo2133]

Fun fact, there was a scene cut showing Tony shalhoub's character Fred smoking, which explains his behavior throughout the movie.

[@allanhill4359]

I'm glad you found this one. It's not a Star Trek movie but it is one of the best Star Trek movies. 🙂 Keep looking for the lesser known gems. There are a lot of them.

[@mycroft16]

This is one of the greatest parody films. It manages to have an amazing plot and story all its own while being an amazing send up of Star Trek and fandom culture at the same time. Also, the NSEA Protector is one of the coolest looking ships.

[@SmittySahn]

Rewatching it I found out that Lahnk is Rainn Wilson (Dwight Schrute) and Guy Fleegman is Sam Rockwell (Justin Hammer - Ironman) & The Announce at the end is Kevin McDonald (The Voice of Pleakley from Lilo & Stitch.

[@pleutron]

glad you enjoyed it. I think this movie was probably inspirational to Seth MacFarlane's "The Orville"

[@Ezekielepharcelis]

That Show was okey I think.

[@scottstevens7639]

So glad you found your way to this movie, Mary. Still find it hard to believe you’ve never heard of it before. It didn’t exactly burn up the box office when first released, but it has been steadily gaining new fans over the years. One of the best sci-fi/comedies ever made.

[@Dyerdon]

So I had never realized this before in the countless times I've watched this movie (definitely ranks in as one of my all time favorites), but the reason why Jason hesitates before activating the Omega 13. He's counting. He's actually counting to make sure he activates it right at 13 seconds, just as "Fred" steps onto the bridge.

[@Ugnutz]

This isn't underrated everyone know this movies is awesome

[@jeffgaboury3157]

I'm so happy to see you do this one Mary! I LOVE Galaxy Quest. As a science fiction fan in general and a Star Trek fan in particular, I've loved this movie since it's first release. The antipathy between the captain and the rest of the cast is based on the real life relationship between William Shatner (Captain Kirk) and the rest of the Star Trek the Original Series cast. The show is a parody of both Star Trek, its cast and its fandom and conventions, but it's a parody made with love. In many ways, it's also a love letter to Star Trek and the way the themes of the fictional Galaxy Quest mirror the themes of Star Trek, giving them their due as powerful and inspiring themes. In many ways, Galaxy Quest has come to be seen as a proxy Star Trek movie in and of itself - and an excellent one at that! When Seth McFarland created The Orville (which is superb) many thought it was going to be the same thing as Galaxy Quest - a fond parody. In a way that's true, although The Orville ended up being much more serious than Galaxy Quest, but holding true to its mix of comedy combined with classic Star Trek themes. I would also recommend you watch The Orville, since you liked Galaxy Quest. And watch some Star Trek too, if you want to see what inspires film and TV makers so much!

[@steveanderson6180]

This is often described as "the second-best Star Trek movie", and I completely agree.

[@jennavalerius4051]

20:39 My family's favorite line. It turned inside out and then it exploded.😂

[@Blazingstoke]

The return to TV, with Guy becoming Security Chief, is a fun nod to _Star Trek_ history: in the mid 1970s, the show had become so unbelievably successful in syndication that a second TV series was planned, called _Star Trek Phase Two._ It was to feature nearly all of the original cast (only Leonard "Spock" Nimoy declined to return), plus three new characters. Pavel Chekhov, who had been a navigator in the original series, would have been promoted to Security Chief - a position that hadn't appeared at all before in the old _Star Trek._ As it happened, Paramount changed their minds and the series was scrapped before it aired, but the pilot episode was reworked into _Star Trek: The Motion Picture,_ while the new characters and a few episode scripts eventually found their way into _Star Trek: The Next Generation._

[@KGardner01010]

After watching this film, Mary, did you ever get around to watching the documentary they made about the making of it? The writer, director and actors talking all about it, and how they were all happily ready to sign-up again for either a film sequel, or a TV series of it? Until Alan couldn't accept due to being so ill, and then passing away . . . after which, none of them could face doing it without him being there with them on it . . . (Now that's someone's missing acting presence for you!) . . . Do enjoy it if you haven't yet . . .

[@kevinlimo696]

Sigourney Weaver, movie Working Girl, she’s a regular person. Also get to see Harrison Ford as a regular.

[@ronniemartillo]

Fred’s suicidal acceptance and calmness always cracks me up lmao

[@trayolphia5756]

Popular fan theory for the continued story…the main kid, Brandon, gets introduced into the renewed series as a thank you for his help, as a kind of long lost/secret son between Gwen and the commander..

[@ianburns1167]

Now the trick is to watch Star Trek and see what it is they're making fun of. This is a great example of the maxim that a good parody has to ultimately be an example of what it's parodying, and Galaxy Quest is a great Star Trek movie.

[@electronron1]

Every time I watch this movie I think of the scene in Die Hard when Alan Rickman (Hans Gruber) is reading the note pined to the body of one of his Hench men and think he needs to say "By Grabthar's hammer you shall be avenged".

[@x2bounty]

tim allen is a great parallel for bill shatner. same for alan rickman and leonard nimoy.

[@5ilver42]

"red thingy moving toward the green thingy" is such a memorable line from my childhood with this movie.

[@dennisjohnson6541]

You have probably heard this many times, but you have such the prettiest smile ever. I love watching your reactions just to see how you light up when your smiling. Thank you for the positivity and keep up the good work your doing. Loving it.

[@eat_pray_porg8450]

This movie, for me, is an instant classic. If it's ever being rebroadcast, I usually stay and watch what I can. The casting is absolutely perfect. It's a perfect homage and satire to all things sci-fi and ultimately geek, but it's also a sweet valentine (with an impeccable touch of comedy) to those genres. I'm so happy you got to see this, Mary! By Grabthar's Hammer, I'm glad you liked it! 😄

[@stevenorellano2039]

I saw this is the movie theater, and I was crying hysterical laughter when Guy was freaking out on the shuttle pod going down to the planet. 🤣

[@1dudecrush]

It brings a tear to my eye when Alan Rickman says that line for his dying buddy 😢
