Galaxy Quest

One of the great space opera parody movies (along with Space Balls). Here the crew of TV's NSEA Protector are doing the convention circuit, trying to make a few bucks signing autographs and playing up to the fanboys. An alien race has been watching their TV show and interpreting it as a historical document from earth. So when they get in trouble, of course they come to these earth heroes for help. And the crew of actors gets drawn into a real-life space drama. While this is 100% parody, it is also tribute to the sci-fi worlds created (and the formulaic silliness therein) of TV Star Trek. Laugh out loud funny at times, and entertaining throughout.
4 stars (out of 5)
