25TH ANNIVERSARY SCREENING!
"Galaxy Quest" is a shlocky sci-fi TV show, now in reruns, its cast relegated to signing autographs at annoying fanboy conventions. Enter the Thermians, an alien race who are on the verge of being wiped out by an overpowering enemy. Having crafted a replica of the "Galaxy Quest" ship, the Thermians, who believe the show was the truth, now expect these bumbling actors to save the day. This epic spoof of "Star Trek" works wonders not just from its affectionate send up of television cliches, but from its stellar cast that included Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, and Alan Rickman, but also future stars in Sam Rockwell and Rainn Wilson (let's not forget Enrico Colantoni's amazing turn as Mathesar, leader of the Thermians). GALAXY QUEST's script is so great David Mamet considers it one of four 'perfect' films in Hollywood history.
