Galaxy Quest
A Movie Review |
|
 |
I was planning on seeing "Galaxy
Quest" anyway, it looked kind of cute. But when I saw in the
newspaper that it was "rated PG for cleavage", among other
things, I knew I had to go. And you know what? In the end it
wasn't even the cleavage that had me enjoying this movie so
much (although it didn't hurt and I will say that Sigourney
Weaver is totally hot as a blond), but rather a fun story
that had me laughing out loud at many times and just
enjoying the movie experience, even with the lady who
wouldn't stop coughing for the hour and a half.
"Galaxy Quest" tells the story of a group of actors and
actress from an old "Star Trek" type series. They've really
got nothing else going on in their life except the
conventions where the psycho fans keep coming, and their
lives basically suck. Then one day a group of people show
up, seemingly psycho fans, but actually aliens who have come
to get the space heroes they saw on the transmissions (not
knowing it was just a TV show) to help save their
civilization. It's "beam me up" time and all of a sudden our
cast of characters are real space heroes.
The fun thing about "Galaxy Quest" is that it totally
pokes fun at the entire "convention" theory, like the
Saturday Night Live sketch with William Shatner, but doesn't
make it necessarily mean. There are lots of jokes that
adults can relate to, especially adults with just a hint of
"Star Trek" or "Star Wars" in them, and the action is family
oriented so the kids will get other jokes and like the movie
too.
Much more enjoyable than I thought it would be, I give
"Galaxy Quest" 4 stars out of 5. I laughed a lot, I wasn't
ashamed my niece and nephew were along, and just was
pleasantly surprised by a movie with a goofy premise.
That's it for this one! I'm The Dude on the Right!!
