Alan Rickman, Sigourney Weaver, and Tim Allen in action poses for the Galaxy Quest poster
I can't remember how old I was the first time I watched Galaxy Quest, but the memory sticks out all the same. My dad introduced it to me, no doubt because he thought my Harry Potter-obsessed self would get a kick out of seeing Severus Snape in a prosthetic alien headpiece. He was right, and to this day it remains one of my favorite movies.
✕ Remove Ads At one such convention, Jason is approached by real aliens, known as Thermians, seeking the aid of the heroic crew found on Galaxy Quest, which they view as"historical documents." What first seems like more praise from starry-eyed fans turns out to be a real plea for help, and it isn't long before the whole cast is up in space and forced into the very roles they once played.
✕ Remove Ads I've long thought the true MVP of the Galaxy Quest cast is Sam Rockwell as Guy, a forgotten background actor who leaps at the chance to be part of the show, only to later remember he has a tendency to play the crew members who die. The eventual Oscar winner has some of the best line deliveries and proves to be far more memorable than Guy's own onscreen persona.
✕ Remove Ads Galaxy Quest's brand of fandom is perhaps just a touch outdated — I doubt Taggart and Tawny Madison would be the main ship when Taggart and Doctor Lazarus are right there — but it remains a beautiful ode to the importance of stories.
