Galaxy Quest
Monday, 7 July, 2025
Galaxy Quest (1999) is one of the most clever and affectionate love letters ever written to sci-fi fandom. It follows the washed-up cast of a cult sci-fi TV series who, after years of coasting on convention appearances, suddenly find themselves whisked into a real interstellar conflict by aliens who believe their show was genuine historical record. While it hilariously pokes fun at sci-fi tropes—like overblown captains, technobabble, and obsessive fans—it does so with deep respect and affection for the genre and its community. The film balances sharp parody with genuine heart, delivering a story that’s equal parts comedic romp and heartfelt adventure, anchored by excellent humor, tight pacing, and a fantastic ensemble cast featuring Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, and the wonderful Sam Rockwell.This summer, Galaxy Quest kicks off our “Summer of Sam,” a movie marathon celebrating films featuring actors named Sam. Here, Sam Rockwell absolutely shines as Guy, the anxious extra terrified he’s destined to be the expendable crewman—a role that’s both hysterical and surprisingly relatable for any sci-fi fan. If you’ve never seen Galaxy Quest, it’s a must-watch, especially if you love Star Trek or sci-fi in general. It’s not just a parody; it’s a joyful tribute that understands why fans adore starships, aliens, and the hope woven into these stories. By the time the credits roll, you’ll be laughing, a little misty-eyed, and absolutely convinced that, even in space, never giving up and never surrendering is the way to go.Stick around until the end for a round of Star Wars Trivia!Safe travels, nomads!
