By Grabthar’s hammer… what a movie!
the best ‘Not-Star Trek’ Star Trek film
Rated as in the Top Ten of all Star Trek movies.
Should probably be in the top five, frankly.
Can’t find the clip, but Jonathan frakes told Patrick Stewart that he had to see Galaxy Quest, and that he had to see it in a theater with an audience.
And Patrick Stewart said he laughed harder than anyone else in the theater.
I can see him enjoying Alan Rickman’s role.
Here’s the clip. The full cideo it comes feom is the next link but I’m not sure of the timestamp.

Please, if you can find it, post it.
”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.”
Thanks. In my mind there was a video. Silly me.
I posted it in another reply to you just below. He’s never been on video saying exactly what you said but he’s been quoted in articles/newspaper interviews. Snopes has a good summary with links to the publications.

You rock!
There’s more recent videos of him praising Galaxy Quest but not any video of that quote that I’m aware of.
Thanks for looking it up!
I’m not even supposed to be here! I’m just “Crewman Number Six.” I’m expendable. I’m the guy in the episode who dies to prove how serious the situation is. I’ve gotta get outta here!
Maybe you’re the plucky comic relief?
Plucky?
This movie needs a UHD release
I’d love to see the original cut, there’s clearly hints that there was more adult humour in there.
Also, if you’re into that kind of thing, I highly recommend the “No Retreat, No Surrender” retrospective documentary.
I’d settle on having every cut of the movie restore the “Fuck that!” line.
Aw man, is that what that line was supposed to be? We were robbed.
They said it in the theatrical cut right? I’m not just misremembering that she said it in the theater, right?
Even with it overdubbed, you can clearly read her lips so it’s possible our brains just filled in the blank.
No, it was overdubbed prior to release to avoid an R rating. I believe the line is restored on the dvd release, but I’m going from memory.
As the owner of a DVD copy, I can confidently say it was not restored.
How does this work?
Basically the site keeps everyone’s player in sync. Then you just make a guest name at the bottom of the chat so we can all chat during the movie.
How does this work, legally?
Yarr matey.
Great movie! Is this going to be a weekly thing?
Yes. Keep your eyes peeled.
Good idea. Haven’t seen this film in years.
Reading Alan Rickman’s book (comprised of his personal diaries). Very interesting bits about filming GQ.
Go on…
Buy the book for more. But, succinctly, Tim Allen is the egomaniac you expect and Sigourney is a bit of a diva too. Still, he enjoyed the experience
This is a really cool idea – wish I’d heard of it sooner!
Is there air‽ You don’t know!
That’s not right…
I just watched this for the 1st time like a month ago! Fun little flick
One of my favorite movies!
Thanks for the nostalgia kick :)
