Overview
For four years, the courageous crew of the NSEA protector - “Commander Peter Quincy Taggart”, “Lt. Tawny Madison and “Dr.Lazarus” - set off on a thrilling and often dangerous mission in space…and then their series was cancelled! Now, twenty years later, aliens under attack have mistaken the Galaxy Quest television transmissions for “historical documents” and beam up the crew of has-been actors to save the universe. With no script, no director and no clue, the actors must turn in the performances of their lives.

Viewing Notes
via Netflix
Decades after the success of the sci-fi series “Galaxy Quest,” the show’s washed-up stars—Jason Nesmith, Gwen DeMarco and Alexander Dane—are unwittingly recruited by actual aliens to pull off an intergalactic rescue mission. When you create a parody that rings true to the source material, both fans and creators of the show will flock to it and love it. If I remember right every member of the extensive Trek cast from TOS through Enterprise who’s seen this film love it, and it should come as no surprise that I love it too. The film plays with all the tropes in the classic sci-fi shows, particularly Trek, but also has some great characters, effects, and is really quite funny. Honestly I consider this like the 12th film in the Trek franchise.
