But blame that on the trailer, which made the movie look very stupid and unoriginal. Damn every misleading trailer. Not quite as funny as I hoped it would be, Galaxy Quest is still an always entertaining and smart comedy. The cast is simply great, with Tim Allen proving how hilarious he can be. Alan Rickman is probably the scene stealer, as he underplays his role, resulting in more laughs than I would have ever expected.
Parody is tough to make work.
Galaxy Quest is a great parody, but more than that it somehow manages to poke fun at Star Trek and at the same time be an homage to it. Beyond that though Galaxy Quest has some of the most clever humor to come along in quite a while. The acting all around was great but Alan Rickman, who I've always liked, really stands out. Tony Shaloub was great as well, and had some of my favorite lines. If you like good sci-fi and a good laugh, Galaxy Quest has tons of both.
