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.

There are genuinely imaginative special effects which manage to be recognisably in the spirit of the cheesy originals.
12/02/02
More frequently than not, however, the screenplay by David Howard and Robert Gordon opts for safe and bland over satiric, leaving us with a movie that's watchable but frustrating since it's so rife with unexplored potential.
06/28/02
The idea of actors being mistaken for their roles was used in "The Three Amigos," but "Galaxy Quest" mines the comic potential better.
