This wasn't a parody. This was a love letter to Star Trek. This is a stand-alone gem of a movie. You didn't need to watch Star Trek to enjoy this.
I think it's both. Parody isn't necessarily disrespectful.
It's funnier if you know Star Trek, but the makers were smart enough not to make it a requirement. Glad you enjoyed it!
You don’t really have to know Star Trek. It’s more to do with the fandom than the show itself. The culture surrounding the show.
Yeah. I saw Galaxy Quest YEARS before I got into Star Trek, personally.
"Never give up. Never surrender."
Fun Fact: Tim Allen admitted that he was quite star-struck when he met Sigourney Weaver, as he's a huge fan of Alien (1979). Allen even asked Weaver to sign some of his Alien Franchise memorabilia between takes. She ultimately did.
Expanded Role Fact: Laliari is the first main role Missi Pyle landed in a feature film. Her role was expanded after the producers noticed Sigourney Weaver was the only female main character.
Red Shirt Lives Fact: Despite frequent whining about his character Crewman Number Six being expendable and going to die, Guy Fleegman (Sam Rockwell) is the only crew member not to be shot and killed by Sarris (Robin Sachs) during his surprise assault towards the end.
"Red Shirt" - you grok the series!
Always wonderful to "see" you @BigGator5!
melenatorr ...Always my pleasure. 😁
Go with God and Be Safe from Evil. 😎 👍
Tony Shalhoub's character (the "engineer" or Scotty character from the original Star Trek) was originally supposed to be stoned on weed and those scenes were cut, and that's why he acted so weirdly chill all the time. The entire movie was cut down from a PG-13 to receive a PG rating prior to release and so some swearing was also noticeably over dubbed. The most obvious looping was Sigourney Weaver's "f--k that!" being changed to "screw that!"
Thanks. Saved me the typing. I have to say, there's something about it NOT being TOO obvious that makes it that much funnier. The entire concept of making him the complete opposite of "Scottie" is just brilliant.
"CAPIN'!!! Ah cahn't push her any harrrder. She can't take much MORRRRRE!"
"Hey guys... I just wanted you to know that... the reactors won't take it... the ship is breaking apart and all that... Just FYI..."
@@chrispittman8854 I think it had to do with the choice to shave the movie down to a PG rated film. You cannot have obvious drug use on screen in a G or PG movie.
One could argue that making his character's motivations more ambiguous with the edits made it better.
@@dan_hitchman007 "That's right again. Group hug."
They could change the dub, but the F she dropped with her mouth is just impossible to miss.
"Galaxy Quest" has become the unofficial Star Trek episode that the fans have embraced. I had the good fortune to see this movie first-run in the theater, and I was howling at all the inside jokes and references to the series.
I am so glad a new generation can appreciate the fun!
Enrico Colantoni, who played Mathezar, tried out his own idea of how the Thermians moved and talked, during his audition. The producers loved it, and had the rest of the actors playing Thermians follow his example. The Thermians resemble giant Octopi - so different from humans that they would have entirely different natural ways of moving, of expressing joy, surprise, shock, appreciation, etc. Therefore, their 'appearance generators' would constantly be trying to do something that's impossible: to represent them as humans, moving the way humans would in real time, when their true form underneath is not moving or gesturing in a remotely similar way. The Thermians 'should' move exactly the way they're depicted as moving in the film: awkward and 'unnatural' walking, clapping, smiling, etc.
Why do other Thermians seem to have a better grasp of English than Mathezar? Everyone brings something different to the table - even if you're a Thermian. Mathezar wasn't as adept as the others at learning English, but was able to adapt to the Omega-13 Rewind situation enough that he could clobber Sarris when he needed to.

The fans played by Justin Long and the other kids were perfectly aware that 'Galaxy Quest' was 'just a TV show,' but welcomed any opportunity to think about and to live in that world. As with fans of many franchises (but especially Star Trek), they fell in love with the combo of lovable characters, technology and 'limitless future.' Any 'rational' person would want their 'pretend-alternate world' to actually exist. (A normal person has a fantasy life). Then, Jason Nesmith, the star actor playing their ultimate hero, Captain Taggart, addressed him directly, in a private conversation, telling him seriously and specifically, "It's all real, and I need YOUR help." Is Brandon's reaction in that moment, with his hero 'giving him permission' to believe what he desperately wants to be true, all that unreasonable? (Even for those who would answer, 'yes,' all would still agree that Brandon's "Oh-my-God, I knew it!" is damn funny.)
They're not Thermians. They're Dalmatians. Or Terrmites.
This is a top 10 favorite of mine. An all star, action-packed, hilarious, and sweet movie. No one who's reacted to this movie has disliked it.
A few things with this film, while there are a few nods and references to Star Trek: The Next Generation, but for the most part, it's a kindhearted parody of the original Star Trek series and it's cast. George Takei, aka Sulu, even described this film as "A Chillingly Realistic Documentary", because oh how well it depicted the struggles, many of the original series cast faced, from being typecast and struggling to find work outside the franchise, the personality conflicts between cast mates and even hating the character that you are famous for, which was particularly true for Leonard Nimoy, aka Spock. He struggled for a longtime, before coming to peace and embracing the character. For quite a few of the cast members, both original and the newer iterations of Star Trek, it wasn't until they started doing the conventions and hearing from fans, who were inspired to become, doctors, NASA engineers and physicists, or who credited them or the show for their lifelong love of science, that they really appreciated their characters and the franchise as a whole.
Another little tid bit, Patrick Stewart, aka Captain Jean Luc Picard from Next Generation, initially refused to see this movie, thinking that it was just going to be a mean-spirited roast or a silly and stupid parody of all things Star Trek. Thankfully his co-star from Next Generation, Jonathan Frakes, hounded and pestered him into watching it, he ended up loving the movie and was the one laughing the loudest in the theater.
9:30 Tony Shaloub's character was originally played as a stoner before they dropped some references to it.
Not a parody, but one of the greatest Loveletters/Homages of all time.
The engineer character is not an alien, he's just really high. That's why he's so chill. And hungry.
The best Sci-fi comes when the actors play it for real. That's why Alan Rickman is the best in this film. He always "respected the craft". Great reaction, girl. Keep 'em coming.
It's a shame that he hated this movie so much...
An all star cast, good plot, and well acted.
In the Original Star Trek series of the 1960s Captain Kirk would lose his shirt due to fight scenes on certain episodes or be in sickbay doing a physical. The tuck and roll with Tim Allen was giving homage to Kirk's tuck and roll in one episode called Arena. And like Tom Cruise the original Captain Kirk did run and ducts were used as well in a few episodes.
Alan Rickman is great here (look at that hilariously pained expression whenever he has to say his catchphrase), but my main respect goes to Sam Rockwell. He went straight from playing "Wild Bill" in THE GREEN MILE to Guy Fleegman here. (yes, both from 1999)
And to Ex-Galactic President Zaphod BeebleBrox in 2005's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
The engineer guy....yeah he's not weird or an alien...he's just stoned. Notice how he's eating snacks a lot. :)
Was sold by the thumbnail before I even clicked!
Fred was unbothered by everything because his blood was running about 95% THC.
Fun reaction. And yes, Tech Sgt. Chen was always high (on weed or something similar.) and why he was so mellow.
The character Guy also played Wild Bill in The Green MIle so it just shows you what a versatile actor he is. Amazing performances.
One of my favorite movies! Just good clean fun. Glad you enjoyed it!
8:41 Fred's character is supposed to be very under the influence of marijuana. Most of those references were cut out when they made the film pg 13. Also some swear words were replaced lol
the movie and his character is better because of the removal
@@pleutron absolutely agree on Kwan. I think a couple of the swears should've stayed tho.
Also, I feel empty saying this, I didn't realize he was supposed to be playing an Asian on the TV show.
@@brownstarslots lol the weird eyes in the “original show” at the beginning, coupled with his name, was supposed to give that illusion 😜
@@pleutron and I totally missed the reference lol. Hilarious
@@brownstarslotsYeah, like that one F-bomb Sigourney Weaver's character (Gwen) dropped. One F-word per PG-13 film. I'd understand it was edited out since there's no way in hell the F word would be allowed in a PG film.
There is a deleted scene where Fred does some drugs before he gets in the transport pod. That's why he's so mellow for most of the movie and is constantly munching on snacks.
One of my favourite Star Trek movies...
For Dr. Lazarus/Alexander Dane eating, don't worry: Tech Sgt. Chen/Fred always had some treats handy and probably shared with him.
Wonderful reaction. Thank you.
He's so chill because he's immensely high....
This is a perfect film. It has just about everything - action, romance, adventure, mystery, humor, comedy, and drama. Aria, your reaction was great, all the better in fact because you were unsure if you were watching the right thing. So you were really paying attention looking for stuff. Thus, you got to enjoy all the little bits in it. If you were familiar with Star Trek it would have been significantly better for you, but it stands alone well enough. If you do get around to TOS a lot of things from here will click into place. (As an original Trekkie from 1966 I do recommend it.). Anyway, lots of fun watching.
Of all the movies that need a director's cut this is it.
I told you you would like it, Aria! This movie came out when I was a child and I was confused a bit and I had no idea what I was watching. But I still enjoyed it just because it was so hilarious. And now it's a family favorite, one we constantly quote in our every day lives. Glad you finally got around to it.
Although I'm not a Star Trek fan, I know enough to give you a little context. Tim Allen is basically supposed to be William Shatner, with his big ego and really full of himself. And Alan Rickman is supposed to be Leonard Nimoy, a classically trained thespian who struggled to break typecasting after playing a Vulcan. And the two are kinda acting out the tense relationship that Shatner and Nimoy had behind the scenes, largely because of Shatner's ego. Also "Never give up, never surrender" is a play on the popular Star Trek catchphrase, "Live long and prosper". Hope that clears a couple things up.
BTW, you have really beautiful eyes.
One quibble: Nimoy played a Vulcan, not a Klingon...
But all the rest, I totally agree with you!
@@seregrian5675Oh yes, just corrected it. Thanks.
this is more of a salute to instead of a parody of Star Trek the original series (STOS). Star Trek's famous line is said by their half alien bridge crew member Mr, Spock. his mother was from Earth. his father from the planet Vuclan "Live long and prosper." Lenard Nemoy, the actor who played Mr. Spock, styed in make-up. sometimes even at his home. he was trying to get a feel for the character. due to Nemoy's efforts most of the Vulcan culture became Star Trek lore.
William Shatner played the captain of the Star Ship Enterprise. once at asci-fi convention he lost his cool. telling the fans :...to get a life." not realizing the show had, and still does, inspire(d) many to become scientist and astronauts.
Fantastic reaction.
I love Tim Allen!
In the pantheon of Star Trek movies, Galaxy Quest is consistently voted among the best Star Trek films.
Galaxy Quest is considered to be the best Non-Star Trek, Star Trek movie.
The official Star Trek people asked it's it's fan base to rank all the Star Trek movies. Galaxy Quest not on the list of Star Trek films, & a write in... Came in at #4. "Considered to be the best Non-Star Trek, Star Trek movie." is the perfect description. Thank you.
I've seen this movie a bunch of times and also several reactions to it, and this is the first time I noticed something. The Thermians say that they "programmed the food synthesizer for each of you based on the regional menu of your birthplace." And Dr. Lazarus had a bowl of live blood ticks. So... the Thermians made a "food synthesizer" that can literally create life? 😲 That's pretty impressive! And also, if that's food from the regional menu of his birthplace, does that imply that there's really a race of aliens out there that look like Dr. Lazarus? How did I never notice this before?
That is very interesting
"Galaxy Quest": The best "Star Trek" movie that Paramount didn't make. Yes, you don't need to know about TV "Star Trek" to enjoy the movie. I missed the video game arcade wave, but Ralph's back story drew me into "Wreck It Ralph" (2012). I've read that Sigourney Weaver signed on specifically to play a Blonde. She felt her "IQ level dropping" whenever she wore it...all the way home.;) Would I go to see a "Galaxy Quest" or "Firefly" reboot movie? Why not, as long as Disney and KK are kept an Astronomical Unit away from them. Replace Alan Rickman as "Dr. Lazarus"? Daniel Radcliffe played "Weird Al " Yankovic and Benedict Cumberbatch played "Khan Noonien Singh," so they can "do Comedy." As for the late, great "Shepherd Book," of "Firefly," how about "Shepherd Jubal Early"?
This movie is so underrated. It's absolutely hilarious. Tim Allen had the number one show, book and movie all at the same time. Legendary
The reason tech sargent fred is so calm is because his char was smoking pot all the time. They had to edit that out to get a pg rating.
Whooo so excited!!
That line, Never give up never surrender is from Galaxy Quest not Star Trek
just based on reserved personality... the similarities are there between Tech Sgt Chen & Aria. in nearly sll her reactions.. Tech Sgt Aria. love ya :)
I swear I'm never high😂
6:52 "By Grabthar's Hammer, what a savings."
😏 By Grabthar's Hammer, what a typecast.
I always try to swear with "by Grabthar's Hammer"
"BY Grabthar's Hammer, what an asshole" etc
😂😂
By Grabthar's Hammer I definitely enjoy watching this with you. I love your reactions. This movie is one of my favorites even though i'm not a big Star Trek fan. Overall, it's just a great movie. Till next time Never Give Up Never Surrender.
29:28 Sun Tzu: "All of warfare is based on deception."
22:55 Well how bout that?! Someone opened an air lock and it wasn’t Ripley! Hahaha! 😂
😅
This is a classic. And very good casting, too.
Fantastic reaction, your commentary is fire 🔥
8:40 "Has he done that before? How is he so chill?"
Well, my memory is fuzzy on the details, but in earlier versions of the script, his character was supposed to be very blatantly high for pretty much the whole movie. He was even supposed to have little weed edibles he'd keep snacking on throughout certain scenes, I think. As much as I wish they'd been allowed to keep that in, I do also kind of like the idea that he's "just like that". 😂
It's more a love letter to the idea of space exploration in general but they reference things that's common in stuff like Star Trek
Just a few months until we are tortured with "Last Christmas" again, hurrah.
Yeah, it's a fun movie and it was a fun reaction, again!
One of the funniest scifi parodies ever, and there are very few things about Star Trek that are a bit funnier if you know it. Like the communication officer (one damn job...), the whole stereotypical crew dynamics that is crucial to all Star Trek series and movies etc...
Glad you liked it. Have a great week, by Grabthar's hammer!
"Never give up, never surrender" is a reference to Tim Allen's character in the animated movie "Toy Story"
Ohhhhhh right. That's why it sounded familiar
To infinity and beyond!
It would be nice if we ever got a director's cut of this movie to explain all the weird cuts they had to make it pg-13
Explanations for that have been readily available for _many_ years...
The Tech Sgt isn't alien, he is an engineer ;-)
5:11 "Her translator is broken by Deadpool." if you wounder why I used Deadpool in there look at the guy who is talking
Gollum was two years later 🙂
On the DVD there was an option to watch the entire movie in Thermian.
That sounds fun😂
Are you an Alan Rickman fan?
He was in this great little film called Closet Land. It's not well-known, but it should be.
Alan Rickman and Madeleine Stowe. 1991. Written and directed by Radha Bharadwaj.
I don’t see Die Hard 3 on your channel. It was the best one.
9:25 he’s high
“ Buut whhhy ?” 🥺
Great reaction
I came across Sam Rockwell in "Moon" (2009), which was a first class, first person SF movie.;)
Yup. Remembered him but I didn't wanna talk about green mile while watching a comedy😅
@@ariachanson01 sam Rockwell is in Iron Man 2. Maybe you've seen it?
I don't remember🤔
@@ariachanson01he played Hammer, the weapons manufacturer working against Tony. Sam Rockwell is almost as good as Gary Oldman to disappear into a role.
That’s why I always yell at the dummies who call this a parody and recommend it under Zucker Brothers movies. They confused her unnecessarily and don’t know how to use the word, “parody”.
👍
Wish they,d issue the original cut ..
Great spoof. Reportedly even the Star Trek actors loved the show. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing.
Love seeing you laugh and smile! Alan Rickman was so wonderful, always a great performance. The slogan they used is not from Star Trek, made for the TV show. Stay healthy!
Go ahead and watch "Galaxy Quest" then watch several original series "Star Trek" episodes -- you'll get the homage situations very easily.
One of my favorite movies of all time! It’s more of a subtle spoof of Star Trek rather than a parody
Subtle? _Seriously?!_
9:33 That's because he's on drugs^^
"Live long, and prosper" was the real Star Trek line that they parody. It was Spock's catchphrase. He's an alien on the command deck. Pointy ears was his thing.
"How is he so chill?" It is generally assumed that Fred is a charter member of the Friends of Mary Jane, and when this effect ... subsides is when he starts to understand they are truly in space, and panics. Then he is renewed by his crush.
Well, Aria, let me just tell you that if, at some point, you start watching _Star Trek,_ don't begin with _Star Trek V,_ and you're probably better off skipping the entire _series,_ _Star Trek: Enterprise._ Otherwise, though, it's hard to go wrong with it.
you are absolutely beautiful. im really enjoying your reactions
"Need to"? Nah ... but IT WOULD HAVE MADE THE MOVIE MUCH BETTER ... because you dont get the "in-jokes" and references.
If you enjoyed this movie, I’m curious to see you watch Click with Adam Sandler in the future. Because it’s one of the movies that are similar to this, where they have a comedic element, but they also have some very serious dramatic elements.
A Great reaction.
Her: "Bleah. It's like a termite."
Me: "Or a dalmatian."
But Dalmatians are cute
👍👍👍👍👍👍
THIS WASN'T ABOUT ANY OF THE STAR TREK MOVIES: This makes fun of the Original "Star Trek" TV series and the Fan conventions that are still done to this day. The Series was a Campy and Fun space adventure in the 60's which developed a Cult Following. After a couple of Movies featuring the Original Cast, In the Mid 80's they Came out with Another TV Series, Star Trek, the Next Generation.
Did you notice Sarris's weapon looked like a subway sandwich?
I did not notice that😂
@anthonyvasquezactor You are so correct. Aria C you do have beautiful eyes. (very expressive) 😄
❤❤
Aria, do you get it? by Grabthar's hammer? grab thar's hammer, grab Thor's Hammer
i shall AVENGER thee
3:52 😏It's not a proper _Star Trek_ homage without a healthy dose of _techno_ babble.
That was a reaction of a sort.
Yeah, I think caling Galay Quest a parody or satire is a bit misleading. It's not "zany". It doesn't pokefun AT Trek or fandeom. It'd more like an affectionate homage to the genre.
Clearly, it was not what you were expecting, but I hope you still enjyed. The movie has a surprising amount of heart. And humor. Just not zany humor.
Sigourney weaver Alien 3 and alien Resurrection
The Assembly Cut of "Alien3" has fewer plot holes than the broadcast version. As for "Alien Resurrection," it's kind of a dark comedy, where "Ripley 8" and the disguised Android come to terms about the situation.
Having some familiarity with a few episodes of the cheesy original '60s STAR TREK series, might have been helpful. But the example of the fictitious and schlocky Galaxy Quest TV that they showed at the start of this movie is really all you need to know. And this movie being 1,000 better than any episode from that old show will save you from ever having to see it.
Blasphemy! TOS is perfect!
