Galaxy Quest --- Ridiculously underrated

anyone else think Sam Rockwell is the Steve Buscemi for a new generation
 
Ive never seen this but the way you guys describe it is exactly how I hope Tropic Thunder will be.
 
"You broke the ship?! YOU BROKE THE BLOODY SHIP!"


Gets me everytime.
 
I havent seen this in years, I used to love it so much. I know what im renting tomorow.....
 
my screenwriting professor who worked in hollywood called this movie a $60 million inside joke aimed at william shatner.



great movie btw.

"there's the miners"
"that's funny, they don't look like children"
"no, miners. not minors"
"i don't follow"


i agree, ridiculously overlooked.
 
yes. this movie is ridiculously hilarious. so underrated.

guy: my character doesn't even have a last name!!!

gwen: guy, you have a last name!!

guy: DO I!! DO I!!!??
 
love this, so underrated, i wish they'd make another.
 
"I'm not even supposed to be here! I'm just "Crewman Number Six." I'm expendable! I'm the guy in the episode who dies to prove how serious the situation is. I've gotta get outta here!"

"What is this thing? I mean, it serves no useful purpose for there to be a bunch of chompy, crushy things in the middle of a hallway. No, I mean we shouldn't have to do this, it makes no logical sense, why is it here?"

"'Cause it's on the television show."

"Well forget it! I'm not doing it! This episode was badly written!"
 
I agree with all of you. This movie was totally underrated and I didn't even like Tim Allen back when I saw this. But I went to go check it out just to see how bad it really was going to be and I ended up liking it.

One of my favorite Scenes in this movie was when the Rock Monster showed up.

"You're just gonna have to figure out what it wants....what is it's motivation?"

"It doesn't have any motivation, it's a rock!"

"See, that's your problem Jason, you were never serious about the craft..."

Also Alan Rickman as always was good in this.
 
I agree. GREAT film. I've seen it so many times. I've always felt it's one of Tim Allen's biggest missed opportunities to not make a sequel...
 
I actually just watched this on HBO a few hours ago. Always worth a watch.
 
From IMDB:

Jason Nesmith: Ok, here's the plan: first, Fred, we need a diversion to clear these things out of the compound, then Gwen, Alex, Fred and I go down to get the sphere. Any of those things come back Tommy, give a signal. Guy, you set up a perimeter.
Gwen DeMarco: Why does this sound so familiar?
Tommy Webber: "Assault on Voltarek III". Episode 81 I think.
Guy Fleegman: We're doing episode 81?
Tommy Webber: Whatever, the one with the hologram. The wall of fire.
Gwen DeMarco: How the hell is Fred supposed to project a hologram?
Guy Fleegman: We're doing episode 81, Jason?
Jason Nesmith: It doesn't have to be a hologram, just a diversion.
Guy Fleegman: Jason, are we doing episode 81 or not?
Jason Nesmith: It's a rough plan, Guy, what does it matter if we're doing episode 81 or not?
Guy Fleegman: BECAUSE I DIED... IN EPISODE 81!
:woot:
 
I love the way Rockwell's character is convinced throughout that he is destined to die as any redshirt on Star Trek did. Such great satire, it is up there with Welshie from Futurama. :lmao:

Even funnier was Sigourney Weaver's line after the aliens started attacking: "Quick, let's get out of here before it kills Guy!"

Great movie :up:
 
I love Galaxy Quest.
But when did it become underrated?:huh:
 
It never really got the attention it deserved!

One of the best comedies of the last years!
 
I haven't seen this movie in a while, but I remember really liking it. I do think that Rainn Wilson (Dwight from the Office) plays one of the aliens. It's only a small part if I remember correctly.

He is. He's the fourth one in the limo, besides Mathesar, Teb and Laliari.
