For four years, the courageous crew of the NSEA Protector — Commander Peter Quincy Taggart, Lieutenant Tawny Madison, and Doctor Lazarus — set off on a thrilling and often dangerous mission in space... until their series was cancelled! Now, twenty years later, aliens under attack have mistaken the Galaxy Quest television transmissions for "historical documents" and beam up the crew of has-been actors to save the… From TMDB

60 of 280 · most liked firstThe beautiful thing about the movie Galaxy Quest is that I’m only somewhat sure Alan Rickman was acting and not just deeply irritated to be in the movie Galaxy Quest
neutral · AI labelView post →Saw Galaxy Quest in theaters last night, a perfect movie. Alan Rickman’s arc is so beautiful, finding real meaning in a line he used to scorn, always find it very moving
positive · AI labelView post →watching this GALAXY QUEST 4K i picked up and this movie still rules so much. top four star trek movie too.
positive · AI labelView post →Any fans of the 1999 film, Galaxy Quest?
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching the almost perfect movie with 12yo. #GalaxyQuest
positive · AI labelView post →Galaxy Quest - a perfect movie, just a wonderful love letter to actors, sci-fi, Star Trek in particular, and to fandom - really deserves a proper physical release with decent extras. Think Weaver's right that releasing a R-rated cut would be fun, too.
positive · AI labelView post →I just realized I don't own the movie Galaxy Quest and this must be addressed. I have all the other Star Trek movies, I may as well have the good one.
positive · AI labelView post →The only good Star Wars movie is Galaxy Quest. Wait I told it wrong.
positive · AI labelView post →Watched Galaxy Quest for the ???th time instead of doing work. Still the best Star Trek movie.
positive · AI labelView post →The most underrated character in movie history 🎥 IMO… Guy (Sam Rockwell) from ‘Galaxy Quest’ 🖤
positive · AI labelView post →A movie changing its aspect ratio intentionally can be cool and elevate the artistry of the film, fwiw. The bit in Galaxy Quest where Tim Allen realized he’s actually in fucking space was impressive because of the aspect ratio and it allows us to understand his idea of the world is becoming bigger.
positive · AI labelView post →GALAXY QUEST (1999) is a perfect film, right? With each rewatch I'm incensed that comedies are devalued for Oscar consideration, & that Alan Rickman wasn't given an Oscar nod as Alexander Dane/Dr. Lazarus
positive · AI labelView post →If you feel down, watch this daft & sweet film. Galaxy Quest. These are the aliens who thought that a Star Trek tv show was a documentary. Starring the inimitable Alan Rickman and Sigourney Weaver.
positive · AI labelView post →A flashback to 1999: the first film I ever worked on at ILM was Galaxy Quest, and VFX supervisor Bill George asked me to come up with new call letters for the Protector spaceship. What began as "STD" became "NTE" ... which stands for "Not The Enterprise."
neutral · AI labelView post →Galaxy Quest is the obvious answer but he goes absolutely ape as the sheriff of Nottingham in the Kevin Costner Robin Hood movie and it’s inconceivable how anyone involved in the production let him be that amazing in such a boring movie
positive · AI labelView post →This is obviously bait, but also, the best Star Trek movie is Galaxy Quest
positive · AI labelView post →We can all agree that Galaxy Quest is the second-best Star Trek movie…right?
positive · AI labelView post →I saw Galaxy Quest for the first time the other night after hearing RLM talk about it. What a charming little movie. As Mike alluded to you can see studio fingerprints all over the place, but it still largely works.
positive · AI labelView post →Galaxy Quest is the best movie ever. I'll always feel a little better after I watch it.
positive · AI labelView post →Galaxy Quest (1999) Writer Robert Gordon: “There’s talk about the so-called R-rated version of the film. When I originally wrote it, I wasn’t thinking about a family film, just what I wanted to see. So when the ship lands in the convention hall in the original draft, it decapitates a bunch of..."
neutral · AI labelView post →‘A beautiful dismantling of cynicism’: why Galaxy Quest is my feelgood movie. The latest in our series of writers detailing their most easily rewatched comfort films is an appreciation of a smart, funny and tender ode to fan culture
positive · AI labelView post →47) Galaxy Quest. A perfect movie. Not a minute longer or shorter than it needs to be. Both hilarious and moving.
positive · AI labelView post →I watched Galaxy Quest on VHS tonight and that's a good movie that still stands up
positive · AI labelView post →Definitely in literature. I just got the artwork of the tentacled alien gal from a short story I wrote with a human male lover. Oh! And in film, Galaxy Quest has it toward the end!
neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight's movie night with friends: GALAXY QUEST
neutral · AI labelView post →any movie he shows up in is infinitely better for it, but he really got to give the full Rickman in Galaxy Quest, just an impossible movie
positive · AI labelView post →Galaxy Quest is such a great movie! 🎥 🍿
positive · AI labelView post →I always assume the film I've watched the most times is something like THE THING or VERTIGO. But on reflection, it's more likely to be GALAXY QUEST, which I'm forever showing to friends who need cheering up. Never fails, even if they don't like sci-fi much & have never seen an episode of STAR TREK.
positive · AI labelView post →My favorite Star Trek movie is Galaxy Quest. My favorite Star Wars movie is Spaceballs. That should hopefully be enough to tell you how much I actually know about both.
positive · AI labelView post →My favorite Star Trek movie is still Galaxy Quest.
positive · AI labelView post →Suddenly remembering I really, really, really like that scene in Galaxy Quest when Alan Rickman’s character does the ‘by Grabthar’s Hammer…’ speech for reals. I know it’s a silly comedy movie, but that scene is so good it makes me cry.
positive · AI labelView post →Don’t be silly. The best Star Trek movie is Galaxy Quest.
positive · AI labelView post →I've done this before, but I always love the answers. 1) What do you tell people your favorite film is? AND 2) Based on the number of times you've watched and quotes per day, what is your ACTUAL favorite film? What I tell people: Life Is Beautiful. What it actually is: Galaxy Quest.
positive · AI labelView post →Galaxy Quest may have had the most perfect casting of any movie in history.
positive · AI labelView post →I haven't met a single person who disliked this movie, it's like the Galaxy Quest of the 2020s
neutral · AI labelView post →Galaxy Quest is the most underappreciated movie of the 1990s
positive · AI labelView post →Intelligence is knowing Galaxy Quest isn't a Star Trek movie Wisdom is knowing Galaxy Quest is the best Star Trek movie
positive · AI labelView post →I think it was less being in the movie Galaxy Quest and more being stuck on set with Tim Allen.
neutral · AI labelView post →just showed our 11yo Galaxy Quest, a film that is now 25 years old, and am pleased to report (if also ambiently horrified by the relentless march of time) that it holds up
positive · AI labelView post →Mum's fallen asleep early, so it's time for Galaxy Quest! Not really a Star Trek movie... but also one of the best Star Trek movies.
positive · AI labelView post →“Never give up, never surrender!” - the best Star Trek movie (Galaxy Quest)
positive · AI labelView post →My favorite film genres: 1) Space Comedy ( Galaxy Quest, McCoy in Trek) 2) British people doing nonsense ( Full Monty, Calendar Girls) 3) Black People on their Scooby Doo ( Black Dynamite, Get Out) 4) Visual Essays ( Scent of Green Papaya / In the mood For Love/ Exterminate the Brutes )
neutral · AI labelView post →Galaxy Quest is the finest film ever made and I will be taking no questions at this time
positive · AI labelView post →"The Incredibles is the best Fantastic Four movie" no it isn't "Galaxy Quest is the best Star Trek movie" no it isn't "The Iron Giant is the best Superman movie" are you high
neutral · AI labelView post →I wish I were that strong but Galaxy Quest is a perfect movie
positive · AI labelView post →Intelligence is knowing that Galaxy Quest isn't a Star Trek movie. Wisdom is knowing Galaxy is one of the best Star Trek movies ever made.
positive · AI labelView post →Galaxy Quest is a film about genre conventions
neutral · AI labelView post →Me and @ajvsell.bsky.social wild night. Some legos, some whiskey and a double feature of Galaxy Quest and a Goofy Movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →This is kind of like how the best Trek movie is Galaxy Quest.
positive · AI labelView post →I maintain Galaxy Quest is the second best Star Trek movie they ever made.
positive · AI labelView post →63/ Galaxy Quest (movie, 1999) Often considered a Trek movie, this comedy is a real success. It makes fun of Star Trek, but with such tenderness. An exceptional cast, a very cool ship and some heartfelt banter mean that this film never gets old.
positive · AI labelView post →I know it gets said a lot, but it bears repeating: Galaxy Quest is the best Star Trek movie ever made.
positive · AI labelView post →Galaxy Quest the best Star Trek film.
positive · AI labelView post →In honor of legend Patrick Stewart, I'm watching one of my favorite Star Trek flicks. (My favorites are WRATH OF KHAN, FIRST CONTACT, and BEYOND. However, if pressed I will always tell you that I think the very greatest Star Trek film is GALAXY QUEST. It's just how I'm built. Anyway, this one rips.)
positive · AI labelView post →rewatching Galaxy Quest. you know what movie is like really good?
positive · AI labelView post →This movie and Galaxy Quest share pretty much exactly the same plot (positive)
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Galaxy Quest again tonight. It really is a perfect movie. Just flawless.
positive · AI labelView post →What this film lacks is a willingness to fully embrace being a comedy in the vein of Galaxy Quest ; Moonfall takes itself a bit too seriously. And since the script is as stupid as the characters, the result is a failure—though it would work as a comedy.
neutral · AI labelView post →Galaxy Quest is my go-to example. The entire film a love letter to Star Trek *and* Trekkies, and absolutely hilarious all the way through.
positive · AI labelView post →Galaxy Quest at 1.5, it is both not a Star Trek movie and the best Star Trek movie.
positive · AI labelView post →
