Movie Reviews of Galaxy Quest [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: Heroes that kids can look up to
Summary: 5 Stars
A group of dysfunctional personalities must learn to become more than a team. Each person must learn trough trials and tribulations to overcome his or her shortcomings; this requires each to rely on the unique abilities of others to survive. They must realize the dangers in lies and deceit; then they must repent. There is death and destruction. This is a rare instance where revenge is a motive for a good outcome.
They could not have picked a better cast. I have the feeling that they were playing themselves. And the chemistry that usually is between one or two people was between them all. Tim Allen plays the Commander that, while relieving himself, comes to the realization that the other actors consider him a joke. When he gets second chances visa-vie the intrusion of an alien war, he invites the other actors to join him on the "Galaxy Quest". After you get over the initial shock of Sigourney Weaver's appearance, she makes you feel that she is Gwen DeMarco. She takes the job that life has handed her and turns it in to a positive.
Move over Gene Roddenberry. I can't wait for the series.
With the addition of Blu-ray, we now have many more DVD extras. A whole review could be written about the Blu-ray extras.

Movie Review: far, far better than you could expect
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first saw this, it was time when Trekkies and such were out. Star Trek was hot as a flashback/pop culture thing, and this movie looked to be a cheap cash-in.
But that couldn't be farther from the truth. I was shocked at how good it was. The story is spot-on, making fun of all the aspects that deserve it (fans, plot devices, typecasting, James Tiberius Kirk and more) and the cast was a fantastic get for a movie that plays as just a spoof. When you can get Sam Rockwell (in his 2nd best Sci-Fi role) to play a bit part, you're doing very well. And Tim Allen, who so often turns out poorly instead shows us all that with a good script, he can hold his own against actors like Alan Rickman and Tony Shalhoub who would seem to far outclass him.
This movie is entertaining all the way, with only a very few short dead spots. All the characters are played well and it actually works as its own story, beyond being a Star Trek riff.
I could hardly imagine how this could be made better. Even making it actually mention Star Trek directly would only limit their ability to make light of the characters and actors.
I could not possibly recommend this more to fans of Star Trek, Sci-Fi or just good comedy. This movie is one of a select few that I watch over and over when I need entertainment (alongside Caddyshack, Trading Places and Office Space), it's just that good.
Movie Review: SCIFI Comedy at Warp Speed
Summary: 5 Stars
What a great movie and it really holds up well even after ten years!!! Boy how time flys. I remember how impressed I was with this movie when it first came out and how many laughs it had. The whole plot is wildly funny, and the actors are all great falling back into their reprised roles albeit more flesh than they would ever intend on. You never get tired of them running into one adventure or absurd insanity after another,like when Sigorny Weaver says Whoever wrote this should be killed! after confronting the mashers protecting the neutron reactor. BTW speaking of Sigorny, she never looked so Good, incredible.
This movie was such a pleasant surprise and having just seen it again after what must be 9 years!!!! I was still laughing enjoying this movie just like when I saw it for the first time. Please watch it and enjoy...JB
Movie Review: Galaxy Quest on Blu-ray
Summary: 5 Stars
Blu-ray really is worth the money. There's just no other way to say it.
Galaxy Quest: I have loved this movie from the first time I saw it in the theatre and still love it today. Not only is it a great spoof of Sci-fi movies and TV shows in general, it is also a really great story! The ensemble cast is perfectly cast, the plot is actually believable (once one buys into the science fiction part) and the direction is right on target. We own this movie on video cassette and on DVD and now on Blu-ray.
Top notch entertainment! I might just go watch it again right now!
Movie Review: EXCELLENT DOUBLE OR TRIPLE DIP!
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't know if GALAXY QUEST ever came out on VHS. If it did that would make this a triple dip. But whatever it is this Blu-ray is definitely worth the money.
There are brand new extras in this edition that were not included in the DVD. And, if I am not mistaken, this is new cover art as well. There are all new interviews --- and all ten years after the movie was released! Watching this movie in high def brings that old theater memory very much alive. I can't recommend this one enough! Like many have said before, this is the best Star Trek movie --- EVER.
