    Galaxy quest absolutely the best SciFi spoof ever made.
    OK maybe it was SpaceBalls, IDK but one of those IMO.

      Their commitment to it was really remarkable. In the making of of the movie they all talked as if there really was a TV show with the movie acting as a reunion, I remember because I believed it and a friend broke the news to me. Also I’ve been told that the DVD has audio commentary in the alien language.

    I recently watched Galaxy Quest for the first time, and I thought the first half was okay, but then it suddenly got real good with the “By Grabthar’s Hammer, I shall avenge you” moment, which almost made me cry.

    As for ST09, I find it a fun enough film. It’s not classic Trek, but I still think it’s a decent film; I’d probably have to do another rewatch to give my full take. In some ways, I still think Pine was a better Kirk than Shatner himself.
