This movie had the balls to alienate a huge chunk of its potential box office returns in favor of reaching sci-fi fans on a personal level, specifically trekkies. Pretty much the opposite of what's being done today.
@@dr.juerdotitsgo5119I don't care for Star Trek and I love this movie. The plot and characters appeal to everyone which is why it's so loved It just didn't get marketed well
Its because its a sci-fi that just wants to entertain people. It doesn't push white guilt, it doesn't push sexual deviancy, it doesn't push political hot topics, its just wholesome. The public LOVES this, but the minority that are in power and control hollywood know they have a monopoly and so we'll eat what we are given due to lack of options. :(
@@mainstreetsaint36 I mean, scifi shows have always had diverse casts, ever since the original Star Trek crew. The fact they featured an African-American actress as well as a Japanese-American actor when there was a lot of negative feelings towards both was a big deal at the time. To not feature a diverse cast in this spoof would have gone against the source material.
So many great moments. Justin Long being blown off his feet. The crash (and no one got hurt!). "Great driving, Tommy." The fans shooting their guns at Sarris, and their cheers when the Commander shoots him. The kiss. The Commander saluting Brandon and his comrades. And finally "and introducing..." Great movie. Love it to death.
@@cka2ndI think in one of the galaxy quest comics, they explain that the US government covered up first contact with the thermians, then began reverse engineering the tech from the bridge of the protector until they could recreate the ship, whilst the crew started the new season of galaxy quest, and brandon and his friends were writers on the new show.
So remember kids, as long as your arch nemesis is dead, it's okay to kiss his chick in front of everyone and then claim her as your own girlfriend when technically, your enemy called dibs on her! /s
Because in such cases you're comparing works where the effects were done by people who cared vs. goyslop churned out by CG sweatshops on hair thin deadlines.
Even Guy grew into a role as the film reached its climax; even though he was given the order to hold fire and divert all systems to maintaining the ships Plasma Armor, he still manned the weapons console like someone worthy of the position. Giving him a role as Security Chief was very fitting; he probably doubled as the Tactical Officer, operating the ships weapons and shields in combat.
He may have been the plucky comic relief guy to Jason but he was also the cautionous realistic one. Don't open that! It's an alien planet! Is there air? You don't know! is a pretty good idea to kick around.
Amazon had actually started working on a Galaxy Quest series back in 2015 with all the actors planning to make a return. However, the passing of Alan Rickman in early 2016 caused the project to be scrapped. RIP Alan Rickman.
Phenomenal script and cast. I find myself quoting this movie more than others. Never give up, never surrender! I say to myself as my teammates try to forfeit because I am terrible at rocket league and they are probably 25 years younger than I.
What I love about this movie is how Sam Rockwell's character finally moved up in the world. He started out as a Red Shirt, and later becomes a major character in the revival.
And people thought “oh what great effects. A spaceship didn’t just crash into a building and put all of us in danger. We didn’t just see an alien get blown up.”
This is 1999 before all the political correctness and no animals were harmed in this movie crap came along, people thought differently back then, those were the days.
If you think about it though, what is more likely that A) The characters in a TV movie set ship from a TV show actually crashed their spaceship into the building, or B) it was a special effects stunt that went a bit wrong? I think I'd vote for B as well.
Give or take a couple years, the time lapse between the original "Galaxy Quest" and "The Journey Continues" was also the same time lapse between "Star Trek" and "TNG."
This movie has a special place in my heart for showing me an awesome ship design as a kid and now having the model kit of the Protector and a patch from the film makes me love this SW/ST parody a lot more. ❤
"We'll do that!" is the line from the film I'm always quoting or paraphrasing ("Let's do that!"). And I try to get as close to Allen's exact tone and phrasing as possible, sort of like when I'm quoting Charlton Heston's "Damn them all to Hell!" from Planet of the Apes.
Fortunatly I have this one in my DVD collection, now is so rare to find here in Brasil. R. I. P. Allan Rickman. Have more than 2500 sci fi movies, from diferent years, countries and studios. Among with more than 3000 westerns, comedies, dramas, rock concerts, and series. Don' want and don't need to pay for cable TV. My catalogue is bigger than Netflix.
and they could probably get a functioning ship - after all they DID defeat their arch enemy :) it would kickstart a new space age as well :) maybe the new series is filmed on location :)
@@mityaboy4639 Yes! yes! yes! I always wondered if the new series was really just their actual adventures with the Thermians that they then film and send back to Earth! :)
There's probably a good chance that they would be. In fact, I could see Jason Nesmith pushing the studio to hire them as technical consultants, or at least as interns, maybe even writing interns.
@@cka2nd they could be lore masters, like what Lucasfilm has. Guys who live and breathe the show so they can go over new scripts and make sure everything is consistent with established continuity.
You've pointed out one of the great things about this script. "Does the roll help?" was funny earlier in the movie, AND it is a setup for this climax when Jason takes out Sarris. The script is full of witty things like that.
It's funny... this movie was supposedly created to poke fun at Star Trek and its fans. And the response of many Trekkies has been to simply declare that as far as they're concerned, it's a Trek movie.

While I agree that the movie is worthy of a sequel, the current pool of talented writers has been terribly diluted by the explosion of channels making their own content and splitting up all of the pools of writers that used exist in the movie industry. All they can come up with is remakes of movies that were near perfect the first time around, so they make another one in (usually forlorn) hopes that lightning will strike twice. Which it does in real life but not in the movie industry. No disrespect to any actor intented - but did we really NEED a remake of "True Grit"? Did we actually NEED a reboot of "Fantastic Four"? Given the Batman character, did we really NEED a 1940s serial, a 1960s campy TV series, then did we need Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, Eric Bana, Ben Affleck, and Robert Patinson taking their shots at the character? Same, of course, applies to Superman with the 1940s serial movie incarnations, then George Reeves on TV, Christopher Reeve, Dean Cain, ... cripes, that list could go on for a while. In any case, the point is that by now, the sequel would probably be joyless. Special effects out the wazoo, but dialogue so painful as to induce peptic distress. I would say "No, don't even think about it."
imagine after the show ur so happy about how cool that was and you look and see the place where your car was parked now has a 30 ft wide spaceship shaped slide mark on it and your car's on the roof
Jason: *unalives Sarris* Jason almost promptly after: *kisses Gwen* Remember kids, as long as your enemy is dead, it's okay to steal his girlfriend! /s
An absurdly implausible, campy ending that somehow makes me literally shed a tear for all its beautiful heart. And in a SF parody, no less.
It so nice to see something that has a heart and is so positive.
This movie had the balls to alienate a huge chunk of its potential box office returns in favor of reaching sci-fi fans on a personal level, specifically trekkies. Pretty much the opposite of what's being done today.
It's been said that the best parodies are a good example of the thing they're parodying, and Galaxy Quest seems to support that notion.
The movie has so much heart
It's a rare gem for sci-fi geeks or anyone that loves good movies
@@dr.juerdotitsgo5119I don't care for Star Trek and I love this movie. The plot and characters appeal to everyone which is why it's so loved

Lol. That nearly just killed me.
This movie wraps up so perfectly it's airtight forever. What an epic ending that's really a new beginning.
this movie is criminally underrated.
oh no. when Jonathan Frakes calls Patrick Stewart and says "YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS MOVIE"
that's not underrated.
20 years and still the best scifi movie for me.
It us just a thrill ride of a great movie. It spoofs so many things it is hilarious to try and keep up.
The actors of Star Trek Patrick Stewart even admit they enjoy this movie.
Pretty much everyone agrees this is a great movie. It's in no way underrated

God I love how sometimes much older movies have effects that look way better than present day productions.
They were practical and enhanced with CGI.
When you have to create something w/o the use of just a computer you really have to get creative.
Stop motion... Episode 4, Battle of Yavin 4 cleaned up with 4K.
CGI has nothing on that!
Because in such cases you're comparing works where the effects were done by people who cared vs. goyslop churned out by CG sweatshops on hair thin deadlines.
I love how even during the bow, Guy is still processing the fact that he didn't die. 😂
Imagine the automobile insurance claims..
"My car got destroyed by a spaceship"
"I hope he's got spaceship insurance cause if not he is SO BONED!!!" Oops wrong movie..
Funny right. I worked with a girl inthe 70s that her car was sunk by a submarine while on the dock waiting for boy friend submariner. Things happen.
Man, this ending makes me grin every time. The perfect combination of camp and heart.
Sigourney Weaver is so hot. She doesn't look like 50 years old in that movie.
I want watch this movie just for her.
Give him a big hand he is British. Love that line
Yeah. She was fit af.
Facts
So you don't know what 50 year old women look like?
Tbh Guy becoming chief of security made sense- guy might been scared outta his mind but he made some good points throughout the movie.

He may have been the plucky comic relief guy to Jason but he was also the cautionous realistic one.
Don't open that! It's an alien planet! Is there air? You don't know! is a pretty good idea to kick around.
It's a reference to Tasha Yar, chief of security in Star Trek TNG who infamously dies in the first season.
@wizzolor the other crew, erroniously called "redshirts" even though statistically, blues died more percentage wise. Just more reds there.

This is definitely in the top 5 of greatest Star Trek movies...

The noise the nerf gun the kid shoots at the bad guy gets me everytime!!!!! I love this movie.

By grabthar's hammer, what a savings
This never gets old. I LOVE THIS MOVIE.
Give or take a couple years, the time lapse between the original "Galaxy Quest" and "The Journey Continues" was also the same time lapse between "Star Trek" and "TNG."
I was wondering about that. Good deal less time between 1969 and 1979.
Good spot
It was 18 years between TOS and TNG while the gap between the two Quest series was 17 years. Off by a single year!
Indeed. The only odd thing is that nobody got promoted in the meantime.

Everyone in the convention center seems to have super human reflexes
More like incredible luck
Tommy's cough never fails to kill me with laughter even after watching this literally over 20 times.
Although it is a masterpiece, I was very unlucky in Japan due to the small theater release.
Cool it got a release there though.

Alas, the moment for a sequel has passed. The track record for long-delayed sequels is not very good.

Nah -- for the most part, this *is* the sequel to their previous careers. The "what next" was already shown that they re-launched the series.
I can't believe this movie was nominated for an Oscar for best make up I forgot did it win
