Galaxy Quest
“A comedy of galactic proportions.”
Director
Dean Parisot
Screenplay
David Howard, Robert Gordon
Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver and Alan Rickman play the washed-up former stars of a canceled 1970s sci-fi TV series who are mistaken by a real alien race for genuine space heroes, and beamed aboard an actual spacecraft to save the aliens from an actual tyrant using nothing but their acting skills and old scripts. Director Dean Parisot's affectionate Star Trek parody works as both broad ensemble comedy and a surprisingly sincere tribute to fandom and the emotional sincerity behind genre entertainment. Widely beloved by critics and sci-fi fans alike, it's frequently cited as one of the best parody films ever made and a rare comedy embraced by the very community it lovingly mocks.
