By Grabthar's hammer, what a movie

By Grabthar's Hammer… wh… what a movie

FTFY (being silly, but I like to mimic his mouth movements because that's one of the best parts imho hehe, so not a correction but just my spin on it as a reply) :)

1999’s Galaxy Quest is such a good sci-fi parody that it was once voted the seventh best Star Trek film of all time … by Star Trek fans. Its genre send-up is effective and affectionate, with gags about underwritten female characters and illogical spaceship design. It is also a genuinely fun space caper: there’s a properly scary baddie, a spaceship chase sequence, a high-jeopardy mission on a foreign planet and not one but two romantic subplots. There are Beryllium spheres and a rock monster and an Omega-13 (whatever that is).

This is one of those rare comedy movies that avoids that weird rubbery texture to scifi/fantasy comedy that happens when it doesn't really retain a human and emotional grounding, as silly as Galaxy Quest is and as many times as it makes fun of Star Trek it is also evident in every moment that the people who made it genuinely love Star Trek and I think that is what makes it a classic and not just another tacky comedy scifi movie that is fun but forgettable except for having an unusually large budget.

Alan Rickman's performance was just incredible throughout the whole movie. It would be hard for me to choose a favourite line but this one is up there

"Miners, not minors!" is another lovely one. lol. Alan Rickman was generally a damn gem, period. But in a movie with a lot of greatness, he still stood out. :)

By the sons of Worvan, it shall be watched again

well fuck screw that
