A team of intrepid adventurers travels through the outer reaches of the galaxy, each week finding excitement and adventure on Galaxy Quest! Or at least that's the way it was in the mid-1970s, when brave if reckless Captain Peter Quincy Taggart, lovely Lieutenant Tawny Madison, and inscrutable alien Dr. Lazarus were the leaders of an interstellar law enforcement team on the TV series of that name. Twenty years later, the show is still in reruns, and Jason Nesmith (Tim Allen), Gwen DeMarco

Boldly going where few parodies have gone before.
The drolleries take precedence over the special effects.
The film's warm-fuzzies are formulaic and not at all genuine. The humor, though, is clever and keenly satiric without being mean-spirited.
It's a clever premise but not one that lends itself to an hour and 42 minutes of high jinks.
It'll beam you way, way up.
A big, dumb piece of fun that will do little for your heart or intellect, but will undoubtedly leave you laughing.
Hilarious, fast, funny, fresh fun for the family.
Galaxy Quest works not just as a parody or a send-up of a type of film. It works as a basic space adventure as well.
Whether you watch it for the first time or the fiftieth, it still makes you laugh . . . and there aren't many movies out there that hold that kind of strength.
...with its top-notch cast, dead-on caricatures, and imaginative plot, it captures all the 'what-if' you could ask for. (Blu-ray Edition)
Before Tropic Thunder, there came this clever and satisfying spoof of "Star Trek" and its enduing fan phenomenon.
Despite a premise that sounds far from promising, GALAXY QUEST turns out to be an amusing adventure that ofers both good comedy and reasonably exciting science fiction.
While gently spoofing the old Star Trek series and honoring it, Galaxy Quest creates and inhabits its own uniquely lovable universe.
An enormously entertaining pop-culture ride.
Effects and production design are splendidly integrated into the overall enterprise, which is even more enjoyable for being so unexpected.
A hilarious spoof of Trek and Trek fandom. While Galaxy Quest could have easily taken potshots at geeks, rather the film acts as more of a celebration of these sometimes misguided devotees.
It's hip, it's funny and it is one of the better ensemble efforts -- both in front and behind the camera. I had a fun time.
A frivolous but funny comedy with great special effects and admirable performances. This should become a lasting classic, even for people who don't watch Star Trek, which it so cleverly spoofs.
A sparkling blend of sci-fi and comedy that affectionately spoofs every Star Trek cliché known to man, Romulan, or Klingon.
Relentlessly pokes fun at the rabid fans of sci-fi geekdom and the has-been actors that they deify . . . yet gives the geeks and has-beens get a chance to become real heroes
Even if you've never seen a Gene Roddenberry creation, it's still a hoot.
Another one of my favourite Rickman movies, and i do like seeing Weaver and Rickman work together! A very enjoyable sci-fi comedy to love.Its funny and cringy at times but with great comic timing from all characters involved to make your stomach hurt with laughter! A very good sci-fi comedy with a fabulous cast!

I cannot help but love this movie because it is so integrally linked to my childhood. I was still in primary school when it came out and I remember going to see it with my Mum at the cinema. And as they say the rest is history. As a Trekkie now, as well as a sci-fi addict in general I have to say that I notice jokes
