You don't have to be a Star Trek fan to enjoy Galaxy Quest, but it certainly helps. A knowingly affectionate tribute to Trek and any other science fiction TV series of the 1960s and beyond, this crowd-pleasing comedy offers in-jokes at warp speed, hitting the bull's-eye for anyone who knows that (1) the starship captain always removes his shirt to display his manly physique; (2) any crew member not in the regular cast is dead meat; and (3) the heroes always stop the doomsday clock with one second to spare. So it is with Commander Taggart (Tim Allen) and the stalwart crew of the NSEA Protector, whose intergalactic exploits on TV have now been reduced to a dreary cycle of fan conventions and promotional appearances. That's when the Thermians arrive, begging to be saved from Sarris, the reptilian villain who threatens to destroy their home planet. Can actors rise to the challenge and play their roles for real? The Thermians are counting on it, having studied the "historical documents" of the Galaxy Quest TV show, and their hero worship (not to mention their taste for Monte Cristo sandwiches) is ultimately proven worthy, with the help of some Galaxy geeks on planet Earth. And while Galaxy Quest serves up great special effects and impressive Stan Winston creatures, director Dean Parisot (Home Fries) is never condescending, lending warm acceptance to this gentle send-up of sci-fi TV and the phenomenon of fandom. Best of all is the splendid cast, including Sigourney Weaver as buxom blonde Gwen DeMarco; Alan Rickman as frustrated thespian Alexander Dane; Tony Shalhoub as dimwit Fred Kwan; Daryl Mitchell as former child-star Tommy Webber; and Enrico Colantoni as Thermian leader Mathesar, whose sing-song voice is a comedic coup de grâce. --Jeff Shannon

 Very Entertaining February 3, 2010
Egalitarian (California, USA)
This has to be one of the most entertainingly sarcastic movies of the decade, basically riding on the Star Trek premise, and leaving no stone unturned. Great humor, great acting, and the plot is actually intelligent and entertaining; the viewer will definately walk away gratified.
I loved this movie February 1, 2010
Jim Bob Mc Lane (CRANBERRY TWP, PA, US)
I am a big Star Trek fan and this parody kept me laughing. I loved it.
Great movie, with lots of extras... January 31, 2010
Richard Burgess (Everywhere)
Highly recommended, not a big Tim Allen fan but he plays it well. Also love Sam Rockwell and Tony Schloub(sp?) highly recommended...
Galaxy Quest on Blu-ray January 27, 2010
WNelWeb (VA)
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!

I won't go into a movie review and waste your time like so many others do :P I'll just comment on the quality of the blu-ray version. Absolute 10/10, one of the clearest blu-ray movies I've seen to date, they did a great job converting it. Stunning must buy.
