Never give up! Never surrender!

Definitely 100% one of the best and funniest SciFi spoofs ever made.

But what if one of those things gets Guy?

Oh boy poor Guy, does he even have a name? That movie is just so chuck full of jokes. I also particularly love how the aliens look at the ceiling to find the captains sock. 😋

I was reminded of that scene earlier when my husband was looking for something. He just moved his head around in different directions, straight past the item he was looking for, and it finally clicked for me why he can never find anything.

You have to at least pretend you've been looking before asking your wife. 😋

I don’t even have a last name!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Guy, you have a last name.

Do I? Do I?

DO I?! DO I?!?

7.4? Was this a score out of 5?

For real. Like obviously the movie isn't high art but it hits all it's emotional and comedic beats perfectly. Pretty much every major character has some sort of arc and it understands and lovingly and expertly pokes fun at so many aspects of campy scifi and scifi fandom.

Like a ridiculously well executed movie on every level.

Still the best Star Trek movie.

I was about to say that it's aged well but I don't think it's aged a day.

If you enjoy Galaxy Quest the people who make Honest Trailers made a documentary called Never Surrender, with interviews of most of the surviving cast and filmmakers.

A documentary about a movie about a TV show that aliens thought was a documentary.

Underrated by far

She is also incredibly intelligent (Stanford) and funny (easily kept pace with Bill Murray) and an amazingly talented actor with the range from source (Aliens) to spoofing the source (G.Q.).

What a human.
