movie review - Galaxy Quest

twenty-eight years and a million words
Sydney, 2000.04.17
This is a space spoof on the Star (trek|wars) movies, and it's very funny in its own right (if my staunchly non-'Star (trek|wars)'-fan fiancee's reaction was any indication). It's a fast-paced flick, too, and features quite a bit of action for what is essentially a cutting send-up of all the tired Star Trek convention and re-hashed actor syndrome. The superb cast all shows up to play and it's an engaging classic that I'd sooner watch than any of the Star Trek movies.
Strongly recommended.
