103 minute feature film DVD starring Tim Allen, Alan Rickm an, and Daryl Mitchell.
GALAXY QUEST is a satirical comedy that pokes fun at the influence science fiction shows such as STAR TREK have had on their audience. The cast members of the cult sci-fi television series GALAXY QUEST now earn their livings appearing at conventions and grand openings, led by their bombastic captain Jason Nesmith, played by Tim Allen. When an alien race--the Thermians--arrives on earth, it appears that they have mistakenly appropriated the show's culture as their own, thinking the series was actual fact. Desperate for help in battling the evil General Sarris, they bring the actors with them into space to save their planet. A surprisingly smart and funny send-up of the science-fiction culture and the influence television has on the world at large, GALAXY QUEST is a comedy that even nongenre fans can enjoy, with terrific turns by Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Sam Rockwell, and Tony Shalhoub.
Shot in Los Angeles, California, and Goblin Valley, Utah.

Great Movie! I was and am a great fan of the Star Trek series, this movie highlights that and spoofs it with realism. This is a great turn your mind off and just enjoy. The interaction of the characters comes together great. I owned the regular DVD, but I jumped at the chance to purchase the blu-ray version of this and was not disappointed. The colors, graphics, sound and extra's on this disk are beyond explanation. Over all this is an all time great movie made even better by its blu-ray release.
