Do you think "Galaxy Quest" is an underrated movie?

[kenwheeler]

Galaxy Quest is an absolute masterpiece. I don't know if I would say that it's underrated since the most of the audience it was aimed at, nerds and in particular Trekkie's, absolutely adore it. In fact it rates higher than several actual Star Trek movies in comparison in various polls.

I saw this movie in the theater with my husband at a time when I was feeling really down. Galaxy Quest was exactly what I needed - good, clean, genuinely funny comedy.
The line I often find myself saying? "Look, I have one job on this lousy ship. It may be stupid, but I'm going to do it, okay?"

I think the most moving line in the movie was when Dane(Rickman) recited that line he hated, to make the dying Quillek happy. The look of amazement on his face was great.

"Quick, let's get out of here before something kills Guy"
Best line of the movie.

One thing I learned was the ship had an NTE prefix on the number. That stood for "Not the Enterprise."

Having grown up with Star Trek and knowing the drama that came with those shows I personally think Galaxy Quest is one of the best science fiction movies ever made . It is also one of the best Star Trek movies ever . It gave none trek fans a look at the drama that happened off screen. It's just sad that never got a chance to make a second movie before Alan Rickman passed away .

I had never even heard of 'Galaxy Quest' until about a year ago and now I can't live without it (I've watched it 3 times now and I'm sure I will watch it again) It is an absolutely brilliant homage to the whole sci-fi tv and film industry. Shame on the marketing department of whatever studio released it because this movie should have been an absolute box office smash.

You did miss an important aspect of Guy. He thought he was a red-shirt, meaning he would be the first person to get killed on a mission and this high-risk bothered him. At the end they made him the Security Officer and he was greatly relieved to be one of the permanent crew in a 'safe' role. However, the irony is that in the ST Next Generation they made Lieutenant Yar their Security officer and after a few episodes, they killed her anyway. So becoming the Security Officer was not so safe after all!

How Fred uses the Socratic Method of asking questions when the Thermians come to him with an engineering problem is absolute comedy genius.

This is a great movie 🎥 makes me smile and it still holds up today

[TheFiddle]

That's what made it so good, the SCI FI elements were taken seriously. What a masterpiece.

[greenbird]

I always felt that the character "Fred Kwan" was a very funny poke at how "Scotty" on the Enterprise was always freaking out - "I can't push it any faster, Jim!!!", with some visual affects showing sparks or steam or something going wrong in the back ground. Fred Kwan was the character that most consistently made me laugh out loud. He did have a very stoner vibe, but it was that totally mellow line delivery, while in the background all hell is breaking loose, that really did it for me. The contrast is just so delicious.

Funnest and entertaining film I had seen in a long time. Also the reason no one noticed crash into the convention center MIB was on the job.

[taylorjones]

You missed the fact the thermions
Home was on the other side of a wormhole
And not local. Time dilation would provide the time needed for them to develop all the tech.

[Fayanora]

I think it would be a good idea to have a sequel wherein the Thermians have discovered a few million of their people kept on a prison planet, and they need help rescuing them.

"Could you possibly try NOT to HIT every single one?!" - Alexander Dane commenting on Tommy's terrible flying through a minefield.

I have a friend that used to do all the sci Fi conventions. His list of celebrities in his phone book are impressive. At one convention he was sitting next to shatner at the autograph table. Shatner was in an I'll mood as it was during the time he was trying to break away from his Kirk role. Seeing his mood my friend leaned over and whispered to Shatner " Cheer up, you were the Capt of a starship and a hero to these people", you could have been the guy who got cornholed in Deliverance "! .After hearing this Shatner let out a laugh and smiled. He kept the smile the rest of the day. I guess he realized my friend was right

[riogrande]

It's funny that I never noticed Fred as behaving as if he was stoned the whole time. Now that it's pointed out, I can see it.
