Saw it (again) on t.v. this weekend, and couldn't help but laugh. Granted, it's a parody on Star Trek, but what if there were a parody movie done for our BDH? The whole SciFi convention thing REALLY made me laugh as I had never been to one before DragonCon last Sept.

I wonder if they'll be able to get the whole crew to show up for DragoncCon NEXT Sept, with the premier being so close after.... hmmm.

This is actually one of my favorite sci-fi movies from the last ten years or so. It took me awhile to warm up to, but the charm and affectionate parody of sci-fi fans won me over. I especially liked the way the aliens were stand-ins for genre fans.

It was definitely a pleasant suprise. I'm not much of a Tim Allen fan and it looked pretty goofy in the ads (which it is I guess) but I liked it.

I also love this movie...
particularly Alan Rickman (who should do a lot more comedy)
so funny and so brilliant as the classically trained British actor
in a Sci-fi TV show!

i concur. hilarious movie.

my favorite line is after they transport the big rock guy into the room with all the bad guys and the rock monster starts going ape on all of them and the one guy puts his hand on the other crew member's shoulder and says "it's the little things in life you treasure." i laugh so hard everytime i see that. also, the part when tim allen is first facing off against the rock dude and the crew member (the one who is afraid he is going to die) says "look around you for a weapon, can you build some sort of rudimentary lathe?" so funny.

Really and truely one of my favorite films. Its beautiful in that it manages to spoof and yet pay homage to star trek at the same time. I will admit to you now that I an the biggest sap ever because I actually am moved to tears when Alan Rickman swears to Quiddick " You shall be avenged"
... Uhm, I just read back over this post and I am sooo embarressed.

P. S.
I also often tell my husband... maybe you're the plucky comic relief.

I saw Galaxy Quest this weekend too, twice.
I think it's terribly funny. You have to laugh at it, or you've gotten too serious about your sci-fi. (Thats why Firefly is so great, it has the humor to keep everything grounded.)

I love where Tommy is supposed to take the ship out of space dock. everyone is leaning their heads to get him to steer the other way, and he's scraping the side of the ship thru the dock.

I also love Sigourney Weaver's part. I think of her in Alien and then see this movie, it's so great. Blonde with the torn uniform, screaming. hehe
