It's rare that someone produces a sci-fi comedy; it's even more rare when a sci-fi comedy is danged funny with a good story as a bonus.
Clever, witty and surprisingly well-done, Galaxy Quest does a better job at being a Star Trek movie than any Trek movie in recent history.
Because Galaxy Quest gets *everything* right. It loves the fans as it mocks them. It delivers all the good bits while skewering the cliches. It actually ends up being *heartwarming* without being cloying, and I normally *hate* heartwarming flicks!
The geeks save the day. The good guys win. The bad guys provide entertainment for the masses. Everyone gets witty, quotable stuff to say. Stuff blows up.
And that, my friends, is what you want out of a movie like this.
