      A LOT of people, including die hard Trekkies, call Galaxy Quest one of the best Star Trek movies. Why? Because it poked fun at it and the audience without belittling them. It honoured them.

    Alan was a legendarily good actor
    One actor on Harry Potter was having genuine problems at home and says Alan saved him from going completely crazy, because only Alan actually noticed he was having a bad time. Alan picked up on the issues the guy was hiding brilliantly from everyone else. It says a lot more than people realise because some actors can be going through hell at home yet there’s no clue on set, but he saw it.
    Ken Branagh said “Alan could see past your public ‘everything’s fine’ face in seconds and always knew the right time to catch you and let you know he was there for you… even fluffing lines so that you got a second take because though the director was happy he could see you weren’t, so he ensured you got that chance to go again, even though he’d done his part perfectly or when it was his scene, he’d do something that made the director go again just so you felt good…right about what you’d done…and he’d do it for everyone from the star to the extra… he wanted everyone to have their spot and get to shine”

      The whole cast, but especially Rickman, grounded their performances as jaded actors in a deeply human cynical truth. In turning that cynicism on its head, they gave the movie its emotional stakes in a scene like Quellek’s death. It’s those emotional stakes that elevate Galaxy Quest above slapstick space comedies (Spaceballs being a prime example). The laughs mean something. The laughs are worth more.

    Alan Rickman was such a versatile actor. I don't think there was a role he couldn't play and more than that, he would own it. He was utterly fantastic in every role but every so often, my romantic side yearns to see Sense and Sensibility. And Galaxy Quest is my Sci-fi comedy favorite. But every movie I've seen him in, was great because he was in it.

And, it's not a lack of familiarity with the actors, as I've been just as familiar with them as I have been with the movie. It's the connection between all those careers and all the work they've done and the way this one movie brings all of that together.

He was great in ‘Bottle Shock’, ‘Sense and Sensibility’, ‘’Robin Hood: ‘Prince of Thieves’ ( he stole that movie, as I rewatch it just to see him), ‘Love Actually’, ‘Quigley Down Under’, ‘Something The Lord Made’(should have gotten an Emmy), and of course: The Harry Potter movies.

    A great actor. Serious funny and a man. He made characters 'come alive'. I saw him in a film of an English Panto (live theatre), peter pan, and he was Captain Hook. the man was perfect. So many movies, so many roles and impeccably acted. But that panto performance showed how he could be serious and ridiculous at the same time. Excellent acting and the role I remember him most for.

      Rickman as Hook would have been something I would've loved to see! What a privilege for you.

    Alan Rickman was SO under rated... very tragic. So many appearances, so little time. That guy KILLED it! Respect has no boundries...

      No, he was and still is very highly rated.

    Galaxy Quest is one of my all time favorite movies, and Alan Rickman is one of my all time favorite actors. He IS missed and will continue to be missed. He was a truly exceptional actor, able to play both Good Guys and Bad Guys with equal awesomeness. My regret is that I never got to meet him in person.

    Loved Alan Rickman he was a Master of his craft. I watched him and he could make you laugh, cry, shiver, cringe, love and hate...all with gestures, words, expressions. Love you Alan, you made me Believe.

    I've been around a few years, nearly 50, and I've read of actors passing here and there, and while some have made me utter phrases like 'oh, that's a shame', never before did I feel a real, genuine gut-punch as the morning i read of Alan's passing. It knocked the wind from my sails and I had to take an early lunch to get get my shit together. I never even met the guy, but that really knocked me for six.

    The world became a dimmer, less richer in quality, place with Alan's passing.
    On a lighter note: It is somewhat fitting that the first time I had ever heard of and then saw Galaxy Quest was at a Star Trek Convention in Glasgow, I think it was in 2001. There wasn't a seat free in the massive function suite they had made into a theatre. I loved it and as soon as I found it on sale on DVD, I bought it.

    I saw 'Galaxy Quest' on 'Dish' a few years ago and I thought "Well, this is gonna' suck but it's the only thing on right now"...and after a few minutes it 'pulled me in'.
    (*What if it were you on some cheesy 'Star Trek' thing and actual *REAL ALIENS* showed-up and wanted your help?*)
    Rickman used his 'Liverpool/Manchester Droll Humor' so well that it seemed as-if he were 'channeling John Lennon' somehow
    and the scene with Weaver repeating back all the answers from the 'Ship's Computer' when *EVERYONE* already heard what was said was just priceless...!
    I have to give the movie a 'thumbs-up' for the laughs I got.

    I've watched this movie many, many times, and it's just a great fun movie. Alan Rickman , was just awesome in it, as the entire cast were.

    Un choix d'exceptionnels acteurs et un scénario inattendu pour que la SF arrête de se prendre au sérieux et revienne à la réalité...

    Hans Gruber was one of the greatest villains EVER. I could easily watch Rickman play Anything. I feel a similar fashion about Gary Oldman...👏👏👏
