Quotes about the Film - from Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy_Quest#Quotes_from_the_Film

I had originally not wanted to see Galaxy Quest because I heard that it was making fun of Star Trek and then Jonathan Frakes rang me up and said ‘You must not miss this movie! See it on a Saturday night in a full theatre.’ And I did and of course I found it was brilliant. Brilliant. No one laughed louder or longer in the cinema than I did, but the idea that the ship was saved and all of our heroes in that movie were saved simply by the fact that there were fans who did understand the scientific principles on which the ship worked was absolutely wonderful. And it was both funny and also touching in that it paid tribute to the dedication of these fans. - Patrick Stewart

I've had flashbacks of Galaxy Quest at the many conventions I've gone to since the movie came out. I thought it was an absolute laugh-a-minute. - Tim Russ

I thought it was very funny, and I thought the audience that they portrayed was totally real, but the actors that they were pretending to be were totally unrecognizable. Certainly I don't know what Tim Allen was doing. He seemed to be the head of a group of actors and for the life of me I was trying to understand who he was imitating. The only one I recognized was the girl playing Nichelle Nichols. - William Shatner sending himself up.

Yes, I have seen Galaxy Quest and no, it's not really like that. - Casey Biggs [1]

I loved Galaxy Quest. I thought it was brilliant satire, not only of Trek, but of fandom in general. The only thing I wish they had done was cast me in it, and have me play a freaky fanboy who keeps screaming at the actor who played "the kid" about how awful it was that there was a kid on the spaceship. Alas. - Wil Wheaton.

some good insights there...

don't forget to check the site en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy_Quest for great description of the characters too!

What seems to be forgotten is that GQ is a combination of Star Trek and The Monkees! Micky Dolenz even makes mention of it in an interview... they were actors, hired to play a band, who then went out and became a band that continued to tour upthrough '96!

I remember waiting for what seemed like an eternity for this movie to hit the Cinema. My friends must have been sick of my Galaxy Quest themed mails I have to say it was well worth the wait and I still tell everyone they have to see this.

A friends partner could not understand how, as Trek fans we would like this movie. Bless!
No point in even trying to explain when someone just doesnt get it.

Never Give Up. Never Surrender
