At first glance, Galaxy Quest looks like a movie in the 1980s, with the cheesy look and special effects. It parodies Star Trek and the fandom but in a clever way such that if you're not familiar with the source material, you will still enjoy the movie. It started like every other movie, not grabbing your interest but once the whole crew goes up to space it becomes fantastic. A brief summary of the plot: Galaxy Quest is a tv show whom aliens mistook for actual historical footage; they enlist the help of the actors to defeat an alien tyrant. The movie doesn't take itself seriously and that's where the charms go. You will be surprised at how attached you will get to the characters with some emotional scenes during the climax of the film. There are some good gags and jokes spread throughout the movie, the movie is not going to make you laugh at every scene but there is enough to make it very enjoyable. Most of the special effects still hold up well even after all these years.
