Patrick Stewart (Captain Picard on the second Star Trek series) had this to say: "I had originally not wanted to see [Galaxy Quest] because I heard that it was making fun of Star Trek and then Jonathan Frakes rang me up and said ‘You must not miss this movie! See it on a Saturday night in a full theatre.’ And I did and of course I found it was brilliant. Brilliant. No one laughed louder or longer in the cinema than I did, but the idea that the ship was saved and all of our heroes in that movie were saved simply by the fact that there were fans who did understand the scientific principles on which the ship worked was absolutely wonderful. And it was both funny and also touching in that it paid tribute to the dedication of these fans."
This has been called "The Best Star Trek movie" ever. It has also been called one of the few "perfect" movies. No wasted time, no unnecessary dialog and a perfect blend of genrés. They had considered a sequel until Alan Rickman passed away after which no one wanted to do it without him.
there couldn't have been another one without him. asking another actor to slip into his shoes? his costars wouldn't have accepted it, and neither would the fans. there can be only one Alan Rickman!
Good call. Either way it's probably for the best. You can't recreate perfect, and you can't produce better than perfect. It would only have been a flop I think.
If you notice, Saris didnt have a patch or metal left hand the first time you see him. Jason's pre-emptive strike did SERIOUS damage to Saris's body. With practical masks vs cgi, the loss of an eye and hand feel a little more real.
I’ve read that they had to cut out any direct references, but there’s a great clue in the scene where the crew members are first “beamed up” to the Thermian ship…when Tony Shaloub’s “gel bubble” pops, it releases a cloud of smoke 💨
Klaatu (nebula) is the name of the alien who visits Earth in the classic sci-fi film The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951). Not only is this a perfect movie, it becomes even more perfect every time you watch it.
One of my absolute favorites! I always refer to it as “a great little movie.” Didn’t receive a ton of fanfare when it came out but it seems over time more and more people are discovering how awesome it is. Glad you enjoyed!
One of my very favorite movies! As a lifelong Star Trek fan, I feel like this is the most beautiful, clever homage to that show and its fans. The genius of it is that anyone can enjoy this film, without knowing anything about Star Trek BUT if you're a fan (particularly of TOS) then there is a whole other level of inside jokes that make this feel like it was written just for you. I never tire of watching it. And just to explain why Fred is so chill--he's supposed to be high the whole time. That's also why he's got the munchies on the shuttle down to the mining planet. LOL. I don't remember why they chose not to mention it but my guess is that they decided to go for a more family-friendly rating.
I love how quickly you guys understood the whole premise and cosplay and the humor and the parody on Star Trek. For someone who learned English as a second language (I assume) you have quite a command of the language. Great job! I've probably seen this movie 30 or 40 times. It's funny every time.
Star Trek Fans Love this Film! Especially the Hard Core Trekkies, the Convention Goers! And I can say the Star Trek and Other Sci-Fi Actors Love it too!
The actor from "Honey I shrunk the kids" is Rick Moranis. He was also in Ghostbusters 1 and 2, the 1986 musical comedy "Little Shop of Horrors" (Very Funny) , and "Spaceballs" (classic spoof). Tim Allen (Commander Taggart) was in "The Santa Clause" (1-3)and he was the main character in the sitcom "Home Improvement". He was the voice of Buzz Lightyear in all of the "Toy Story" films (1-4) He has been in a number of comedies that didn't get much traction such as "Big Trouble" 2002. Very funny. Good job with the reaction.
"Galaxy Quest": The best "Star Trek" movie that Paramount didn't make;) Sigourney Weaver stipulated that she be a Blonde. She felt her "IQ levels slipping" whenever shoe wore it...all the way home. As an old "Star Trek" fan, I got the references to the show, but you can enjoy this tale without knowing anything about "Roddenberry's 'Wagon Train to the Stars." I wasn't an arcade video game player, but Ralph's back story drew me into ""Wreck It Ralph" (2012). Check out that video game arcade world where Ralph's stumbling into "Hero's Duty" and "Sugar Rush" will easily be worth your time.;)
I’m so glad to hear that others are also seeing how CGI today is so much worse than the practical effects back in the day. It’s so frustrating how bad it is and how it takes way from the viewing experience. We as viewers have to keep speaking out against this CGI obsession.
Alan Rickman is so amazing in this! Such a legendary actor! He played Hans Grueber in the first Die Hard, and Professor Snipe in the Harry Potter movies, among many others. RIP, Mr. Rickman!
Great reaction. Love the movie for decades. You need to check out some of the "making of" segments. Enrico Colantoni (Mathesar) came up with most of the alien mannerisms that everyone else had to learn. And Tony Shaloub (Tech Sgt Chen) decided his character would be wasted on drugs throughout (look for his bag full of weed he carries everywhere and why he's always got the munchies). Lots of good background material from all the cast.
This would make more sense to you if you were familiar with the original "Star Trek." For instance, Jason Nesmith's personality is supposed to be like that of William Shatner who played Captain Kirk. He has a very resilient personality and always has 20 business ventures going at once. He's exactly the kind of guy who if you held his head under water and then just let it up for a second, he'd be claiming victory. Alexander Dane's Dr. Lazarus is supposed to be Leonard Nimoy's Mr. Spock, etc.
I LOVE this movie! - So funny, but I do get a bit teary-eyed when Quellek is shot & tells Dr. Lazarus he was like a father to him. Dr. Lazarus recites the catch phrase that he previously hated, but now with genuine, emotional meaning.
Absolutely! The turning point for Alexander when Quelic's sincerity melts his heart and he finally realizes how important it is to embody the character he has despised. It's truly a beautiful moment. Can't help but think of Leonard Nimoy's dedication to Trek fans, particulary his farewell speech at his last official appearance which he closed with the iconic Vulcan hand sign and the words "Live long and prosper". Such a generous moment if true greatness🥲
This is one of my favorite comedies...and every time I watch it I laugh and laugh 😂😂 or find a new little nods or jokes honoring the SciFi greats. This movie is a lil' gem! Thank you both for this reaction!!!
Wow!.. what a joy to share this movie with you guys via this Reaction podcast! And what a movie!.. the plot is almost indescribable, the cast is phenomenal, and what a gruu-vee ending! Many thanks for sharing this podcast with us on RUclips!!
the kid asking questions about the show is justin long, the female alien that falls in love with the engineer guy is missi pyle both are also in the movie DODGEBALL. Missi Pyle plays the russian woman on ben stillers team. Justine Long is on Vince Vuaghns team.
Great reaction, you two !!! Another great movie like this was "What Planet Are You From?", starring Gary Shandling, Annette Benning, John Goodman, Greg Kinnear, Ben Kingsley, Judy Greer (the mom in Ant-Man), Linda Florentino and Nora Dunn (SNL), to name but a few. It uses a lot of dry humor but is actually very funny.
Some references you may not have gotten; Jason was based on William Shatner, who played Captain Kirk in the original Star Trek. Shatner was known for kind of hogging the spotlight, sometimes annoying the other cast members. He once yelled at a fan who was asking him questions about stuff in the series, and told the guy to get a life, and that it was only a TV show. It's also kind of a running joke that Captain Kirk often took his shirt off, or had it removed, or ripped off. Alexander is based on Leonard Nimoy who played Mr. Spock. After the series ended, Nimoy hated that everyone associated him with that role. He wrote a book titled "I Am Not Spock". His attitude softened in later years and he came to appreciate that the fans loved him for that role, even writing a book titled "I Am Spock". Guy, the nervous extra, is based on the red-shirted security guards in Star Trek who would almost always be the first to die. In fact, it happened so often that people now refer to disposable cast members as "red shirts". There's a meme on the net that's a screencap from a Star Trek episode showing kirk standing next to three anonymous red-shirted crew members, and the caption says "Dig three graves over there. I'll explain why later." :) When Jason is facing the rock creature and Guy tells him to try and build some sort of rudimentary laser(?), that's a reference to a Star Trek episode where Kirk was stranded on a planet facing a lizard alien and had to build a primitive cannon out of a piece of hollow log and some natural chemicals to make gunpowder. Another goof: When Tommy is piloting the ship out of spacedock and he scrapes the nose of the ship, that wouldn't be possible. The wings of the ship would hit long before the nose would. The ship would have to be turned at a much sharper angle than shown in the film and then it probably would have just crashed into the side. Also, if the Thermians modeled every aspect of their lives on the Galaxy Quest TV show, why are they wearing dark gray uniforms rather than the ones shown on the TV show? Shouldn't they have copied the Galaxy Quest uniforms as well?
Fun fact the name of the ship is NTE-3120 Protector, the NTE stands for not the Enterprise. My friend Bill Chott had a small part in the movie it's always brings a smile to my face to see him in this movie.
Fred (Tony Shaloub) was relaxed all the time because he was supposed to be stoned, but they cut all the explicit drug references do they could get a PG rating. They also cut the scene where Tawny Madison's uniform gets ripped.
Rick Moranis, who was in Ghostbusters and Little Shop of Horrors (which I also recommend), was in the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids movie. Tim Allen is the voice of Buzz Lightyear in the Toy Story movies and was also in the Santa Clause movies.
The stars of this movie is a who's who of the 90's. Tim Allen (Home Improvement, The Santa Clause) Sigourney Weaver (Aliens, Ghostbusters) Tony Shaloub (Wings, Monk) Alan Richtman (Harry Potter, Die Hard) Too many to list
Dont forget Sam Rockwell (Guy): Bad guy in Charlies Angels, Hammer in Iron Man 2. Beebelbrox in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Choke "Do I?! Do I?!!"
TimAllen is from the TV show "Home Improvement." He also made many movies...ie"The Santa Clause Series" and he is the voice of Buzz Lightyear in "Toy Story!" Happy I could help a little! 😊
Funny fact: the actor Tony Shalhoub behaved the way he did because his character was 'high". The drug reference would not pass censors, however (but for one) - so they just left him chill and goofy, always with munchies.
There's a fun comedy western "The Three Amigos!" with a similar plot starring Steve Martin, Chevy Chase and Martin Short. "Galaxy Quest" sort of borrows plot elements from it. But "The Three Amigos" is sort of a spoof of another classic western drama "The Magnificent Seven" which in turn is based on the classic Kurosawa film "Seven Samurai." None of that sharing of ideas in any way takes away any of the enjoyment of all of those films which are entertaining and inventive each in their own ways.
Another movie like this is The Last Starfighter. “This episode was badly written!” “Whoever wrote this episode just die!” “Ahhh, that’s not right, uhh!”
That was fun! Your reactions were just so nice. This is a perfect film, one of my favorites. Sadly, no sequel. It was modeled after the first Star Trek series in the 60s, the Tim Allen as Peter Taggert and the Commander representing both Captain Kirk and William Shatner, with the cast dynamics that were also a part of making the show and all the tropes that evolved along the way. Dr. Lazarus was the Mr. Spock (with the hand gesture) analogy. Note that the actor in the film never removed his headpiece even at home! The actor who played Mathazar developed all the traits of the Thermians and taught his "crew" how to be those creatures. And yes, Fred was supposed to be stoned throughout (they cut his smoking scene for the rating to keep it kid-friendly). I can never pass up a reaction to this movie, and yours was delightful.
Star Trek was a fairly major media franchise. The original series back in the sixties only ran for three seasons, but it was later followed up by a series of five movies, numbered 1-4 and 6 (ST:TMP, STII:TWOK, STIII:TSFS, STIV:TVH, and STVI:TUU), then in the eighties they did three more series (The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager) that each ran for seven seasons, plus several more movies featuring the characters from TNG. The last movie, Nemesis, killed off probably the second-most-fan-beloved character in the history of the franchise; they left themselves a loophole to kind-of sort-of bring him back, but a few years later, instead of either continuing without him or spending an entire movie bringing him back, they elected instead to do a prequel series (called Enterprise) with all new characters. After that, unfortunately, they permanently abrogated the possibility of any further additions to the franchise, by allowing a reboot-producer to break the canon with, essentially, crummy fan fiction officially licensed to use the trademarks; and thus the franchise died. C'est la mort. Tim Allen is principally known for a prime-time sitcom called Home Improvement, in which he played the power-tool-obsessed father. The series was rather formulaic and is honestly not worth watching, but for some reason it was extremely popular at the time. About 80% of the people I knew were obsessed with it.
Just a ton of fun, taking cues from other sci-if shows & movies…such a great homage in my opinion. Terrific casting, & from what I read they had a great time making this film. So many have said Tim Allen is such a good guy to work with. He has some good films & TV series that are so entertaining. (You mentioned Star Trek, would love for y’all to watch the original series! Groundbreaking in so many ways & had some amazing storylines)
I agree that CGI is not as good - I personally think they use it because they can create more creatures for over-the-top battles where it becomes so unrealistic that I lose interest. It's like they have to add more and more to satisfy people now. It would be hard to handle that many real people in makeup.
Best s/f comedy, so your reaction had to be awesome as it is. Great casting. For "Honey, I shrunk our kids" you have to watch another s/f comedy - "Spaceballs" if you didn't.
Yes it is this year. Unity engine 5.2 came out and 5.4 is fantastic, envirement is as good as reality. And yes some games even are made with it atm, not only movies(pre rendered in huge server farms for weeks or months) but liderally in your computer in real time.
you should try The shaggy dog with Tim Allen in it or A little chaos if you like kinda history fiction with Alan Rickman or Aliens with Sigourney Weaver just a suggestion 😅 Edit: please try Star Trek too! start with The Original Series before the Films correspond to that Series, you'll love it😊
Wonderful! And if you'd like to watch original Star Trek (TV episodes and movies), go for it! I'm sure any of us Star Trek fans would love to see what you think of at least the better shows in that series. But you two are wonderful no matter what you are reacting to.
Patrick Stewart (Captain Picard on the second Star Trek series) had this to say:
"I had originally not wanted to see [Galaxy Quest] because I heard that it was making fun of Star Trek and then Jonathan Frakes rang me up and said ‘You must not miss this movie! See it on a Saturday night in a full theatre.’ And I did and of course I found it was brilliant. Brilliant.

It's neck and neck with Tropic Thunder for mocking ourselves and having a good bite of nostalgia.
I am dying that they continued to refer to the thermians as termites. Absolutely adorable. 😂😂
If you notice, Saris didnt have a patch or metal left hand the first time you see him. Jason's pre-emptive strike did SERIOUS damage to Saris's body. With practical masks vs cgi, the loss of an eye and hand feel a little more real.
i knooow. i miss this kind of style to be honest
It’s not that Tony Shaloub’s character (Fred) is an alien; he’s just stoned. 😂
I’ve read that they had to cut out any direct references, but there’s a great clue in the scene where the crew members are first “beamed up” to the Thermian ship…when Tony Shaloub’s “gel bubble” pops, it releases a cloud of smoke 💨
@@cometgirl217never noticed! Now I'm going to be looking for it.
It's why he's snacking.
He took an edible before they beamed up.
You can't prove that. He hasn't been piss tested. Leave the man to his job.
Klaatu (nebula) is the name of the alien who visits Earth in the classic sci-fi film The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951). Not only is this a perfect movie, it becomes even more perfect every time you watch it.
Thermians are how I remember the electronic instrument they used in 40's & 50's, black and white scifi/horror movies; the thereman 🤓
@@michaelriddick7116 It was used for the opening music in TDtEST, I think it's another nod to that movie.
This is such a great movie. I never get tired of watching it, because it is all done so very well.

Everyone looks at him.
Alexander: MINERS, NOT MINORS!
Fred: You lost me

Merci, gracias, thank you both for your entertaining reactions.😊💚
This films still a timeless banger
I’m so glad to hear that others are also seeing how CGI today is so much worse than the practical effects back in the day. It’s so frustrating how bad it is and how it takes way from the viewing experience. We as viewers have to keep speaking out against this CGI obsession.
it creates a gap between us and the actors.. you don't get to attach yourself to the characters..
now we have to guess who's voice is
You need to see the original Star Trek TV show from the 60's those were who the Galaxy Quest mimicked
Alan Rickman is so amazing in this! Such a legendary actor! He played Hans Grueber in the first Die Hard, and Professor Snipe in the Harry Potter movies, among many others. RIP, Mr. Rickman!
Great reaction. Love the movie for decades. You need to check out some of the "making of" segments. Enrico Colantoni (Mathesar) came up with most of the alien mannerisms that everyone else had to learn. And Tony Shaloub (Tech Sgt Chen) decided his character would be wasted on drugs throughout (look for his bag full of weed he carries everywhere and why he's always got the munchies). Lots of good background material from all the cast.
Colantoni is, for me, the standout in a flawless cast.
Every time Marian says “game over” everyone drink.
I love how at the end Guys on the show and not only has a last name but a nickname as well.
I love this movie. I have seen it many times over the years since it came out and never tire of it. I enjoy it every time.

You all make such a beautiful couple! And you did a great job reacting (and predicting!). Thanks!
By Grabthar's Hammer, what a reaction!
So loved watching you watch this. Thank you❤️
Originally the tech guy, the cool one, was written like he was high on marijuana but they never said it out loud because it is a family movie
what a fun movie! if you know Star Trek, this is a wonderful gift. Awesome reaction!
Love this movie!!
definitely hits differently if youre a star trek fan... but still a great movie.
Why is he (Fred, the technical guy) so relaxed? He's enormously high. Thus the mellow behavior and the constant munchies.
Big time fun...big time reaction!
the kid asking questions about the show is justin long, the female alien that falls in love with the engineer guy is missi pyle both are also in the movie DODGEBALL. Missi Pyle plays the russian woman on ben stillers team. Justine Long is on Vince Vuaghns team.
Funny movie. Thanks for sharing your reactions. Love you two. Keep up the awesome work.
Galaxy Quest is a great movie for a regular viewer. But for a Star Trek fan, it's absolutely amazing!

Great movie even for normal audience I think. But for Star Trek fans this is absolutely hilarious, real love letter with so many references.
i can imagine
I know it's not quite that time of year and I hope you all are having good Summer. But, Tim Allen was also Great in the Santa Clause movies.
Fun fact the name of the ship is NTE-3120 Protector, the NTE stands for not the Enterprise. My friend Bill Chott had a small part in the movie it's always brings a smile to my face to see him in this movie.
Fred (Tony Shaloub) was relaxed all the time because he was supposed to be stoned, but they cut all the explicit drug references do they could get a PG rating. They also cut the scene where Tawny Madison's uniform gets ripped.

the one who is relaxed about everything is stoned! group hug. always eating. stoned!
Star trek is several series and several movies based in the same universe.
oh i see!
interesting
The tech guy is not an alien, he’s relaxed because he’s high🤣
All right. All right. Listen up. Here’s the plan. Gwen, Fred, Alex and I will go down and get a sphere.
FLEEGMAN, you set up a perimeter.
Fred is so relaxed because he is stoned! always eating. never stressed. group hugs. stoned :)

Funny fact: the actor Tony Shalhoub behaved the way he did because his character was 'high".

Tim Allen got famous for the Toolman
Damn I miss Alan Rickman! RIP!
No tim didnt shrink his kids, that was rick or dark helmet. Tim was the santa claus.
oh yeaaah hahaha
Good job guys! Glad you enjoyed it. Most definitively watch Star Trek. Start with the reboot Trilogy 2009
Can't wait!

Fun react… Thank you!!!
thank youuuuuu
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
Thank you too!
Another movie like this is The Last Starfighter.
“This episode was badly written!”
“Whoever wrote this episode just die!”
“Ahhh, that’s not right, uhh!”
If you want a fun comedy ride with Tim Allen, watch Big Trouble. To use a rarely used term - it's a Hoot!
They removed the parts where Fred smoked pot to keep it'd rating pg.
One of the best
true!
This movie is a gem. :D
That was fun! Your reactions were just so nice. This is a perfect film, one of my favorites. Sadly, no sequel.
It was modeled after the first Star Trek series in the 60s, the Tim Allen as Peter Taggert and the Commander representing both Captain Kirk and William Shatner, with the cast dynamics that were also a part of making the show and all the tropes that evolved along the way. Dr. Lazarus was the Mr. Spock (with the hand gesture) analogy. Note that the actor in the film never removed his headpiece even at home!
The actor who played Mathazar developed all the traits of the Thermians and taught his "crew" how to be those creatures. And yes, Fred was supposed to be stoned throughout (they cut his smoking scene for the rating to keep it kid-friendly).
I can never pass up a reaction to this movie, and yours was delightful.
Star Trek was a fairly major media franchise. The original series back in the sixties only ran for three seasons, but it was later followed up by a series of five movies, numbered 1-4 and 6 (ST:TMP, STII:TWOK, STIII:TSFS, STIV:TVH, and STVI:TUU), then in the eighties they did three more series (The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager) that each ran for seven seasons, plus several more movies featuring the characters from TNG. The last movie, Nemesis, killed off probably the second-most-fan-beloved character in the history of the franchise; they left themselves a loophole to kind-of sort-of bring him back, but a few years later, instead of either continuing without him or spending an entire movie bringing him back, they elected instead to do a prequel series (called Enterprise) with all new characters.
After that, unfortunately, they permanently abrogated the possibility of any further additions to the franchise, by allowing a reboot-producer to break the canon with, essentially, crummy fan fiction officially licensed to use the trademarks; and thus the franchise died. C'est la mort.
Tim Allen is principally known for a prime-time sitcom called Home Improvement, in which he played the power-tool-obsessed father. The series was rather formulaic and is honestly not worth watching, but for some reason it was extremely popular at the time. About 80% of the people I knew were obsessed with it.
By Grabthar's Hammer. R.I.P. Alan Rickman aka Hans Gruber (Die Hard) aka Professor Severus Snape (Harry Potter). ✌️
yeah.. good actor R.I.P.
Mathezar Made real Space ship and trained humans to be real pilots. Both sides learned.
Just a ton of fun, taking cues from other sci-if shows & movies…such a great homage in my opinion. Terrific casting, & from what I read they had a great time making this film. So many have said Tim Allen is such a good guy to work with. He has some good films & TV series that are so entertaining. (You mentioned Star Trek, would love for y’all to watch the original series! Groundbreaking in so many ways & had some amazing storylines)
way too much fun!
I agree that CGI is not as good - I personally think they use it because they can create more creatures for over-the-top battles where it becomes so unrealistic that I lose interest. It's like they have to add more and more to satisfy people now. It would be hard to handle that many real people in makeup.
Very funny sci-fi movie
Best s/f comedy, so your reaction had to be awesome as it is. Great casting.
For "Honey, I shrunk our kids" you have to watch another s/f comedy - "Spaceballs" if you didn't.
Yes it is this year.
Unity engine 5.2 came out and 5.4 is fantastic, envirement is as good as reality.
And yes some games even are made with it atm, not only movies(pre rendered in huge server farms for weeks or months) but liderally in your computer in real time.
This movie just doesn't get the recognition it deserves.
FINALLY!
If Looks Could Kill 1991
is that a movie?
Definitely watch the deleted scenes if you get a chance
there are some deleted scenes too?
@@MJoy4Fun yes…on the dvd. Not sure if anyone ever uploaded them onto RUclips though.
you should try The shaggy dog with Tim Allen in it or A little chaos if you like kinda history fiction with Alan Rickman or Aliens with Sigourney Weaver
just a suggestion 😅
Edit: please try Star Trek too! start with The Original Series before the Films correspond to that Series, you'll love it😊
please watch the bruce willis movie RED
Wonderful! And if you'd like to watch original Star Trek (TV episodes and movies), go for it! I'm sure any of us Star Trek fans would love to see what you think of at least the better shows in that series. But you two are wonderful no matter what you are reacting to.
actors like putting on make up and prosthetic it gets them in to the character
i can see how, CGI is but an imagination for them
Please watch They Live (1988) by John Carpenter.
will do our best!
Intelligence is knowing this isn't Star Trek
Wisdom is knowing that it's just as good, if not better, than Star Trek
taking the actors from Star Trek and putting them on the REAL starship Enterprise!
Make up on or not ,i am here for the reaction :)
Me pregunto, le habrán vendido la nave a la fuerza aérea para financiar la nueva temporada? 😅
yo tambien me pregunto eso! uso el traductor de google para esto
Fred wasn't an alien, he was just suppose to be high.
