Watch: Galaxy Quest 1999 123movies, Full Movie Online – The sci-fi television series “Galaxy Quest”, which took place aboard the intergalactic spaceship NSEA Protector, starred Jason Nesmith as suave Commander Peter Quincy Taggart, Gwen DeMarco as sexy communications person Lt. Tawny Madison (a role which consisted solely of repeating what the computer stated, much to Gwen’s chagrin), Shakespearean trained Sir Alexander Dane as alien Dr. Lazarus, Fred Kwan as engineer Tech Sergeant Chen, and Tommy Webber as child pilot Laredo. Eighteen years after the series last aired, it lives on in the hearts of its rabid fans. However, it lives on in infamy for its stars, who have not been able to find meaningful acting work since. Their current lives revolve around cashing in on however those roles will afford, which usually entails attending fan conventions or worse, such as electronic store openings. Only Jason seems to relish his lot in life, until he finds out that his co-stars detest him because of his superior attitude as “the Commander”, and much of the public considers him a laughing stock. Their lives change when Jason is approached by who he thinks are convention fans asking for help. They are in reality an alien race called Thermians, led by Mathesar, who have modeled their existence after the series, which they believe to be real. When Jason and then the rest of his co-stars (along with Guy Fleegman, who was killed off before the opening credits in only one episode) go along with the Thermians, Jason’s co-stars who believe they are off to yet another paying gig, they learn that they have to portray their roles for real. Without screenwriters to get them to a happy and heroic ending, they have to trust that their play acting will work, especially in dealing with the Thermians’ nemesis, General Sarris. Guy in particular fears that he will go the way his character did on the series. But when they run across technical issues that they as actors didn’t care anything about during the filming of the series and thus now don’t know how to deal with, they need to find someone who should know what to do..
Plot: For four years, the courageous crew of the NSEA protector – “Commander Peter Quincy Taggart” (Tim Allen), “Lt. Tawny Madison (Sigourney Weaver) and “Dr.Lazarus” (Alan Rickman) – 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.

If you are thinking this sounds like a spoof of Star Trek you’re on the right track. Tim Allen (Home Improvement, Last Man Standing) adds his brilliant comedic contribution to this star studded cast which includes Sigourney Weaver, Tony Shalhoub, Alan Rickman, and Sam Rockwell. They are the aging stars of the one time hit TV series Galaxy Quest. None of them have worked much since the series ended and they make a meager living reprising their characters at various sci fi conventions, or worse, store openings. Tim Allen loves appearing for die hard fans of the show as “Commander Jason Nesmith”, but none of the other cast members are very thrilled about these appearances, and resent the attention the “Commander” receives.
The cast finds a high quality mock up of the show’s space ship at a store opening appearance, as well as some “extras” who are nothing if not ‘in character’ as members of an alien race seeking help from the famous crew.
Before they realize what has happened they find themselves in space on a real life adventure. This is a FUNNY movie which had me laughing to the end. I was really sorry when it was over, I loved it that much.
Really good watch, would watch again, and can recommend, especially for Star Trek fans.This has a sufficiently high production value, but I think a lot of the budge went to hiring the cast, and building the locations, especially the ship. It’s probably the chief reason why (at least I feel it is the case) people have wanted to do spoofs of Star Trek since the original series, but only “Galaxy Quest” and “The Orville” have really made the attempt. Usually the reaction is to take it in its own serious direction, like Babylon 5, and even “The Orville” lands in between.
I think my favorite aspect of this movie is that it’s actually very similar to “The Invention of Lying” where not only does an alien race build a starship, hands it to Terrans, and then we just keep up the ruse so we can have a starship. While I think the more interesting aspect is the same things that we see in “Star Trek”: the interactions between xenos and Terrans and the reflective aspects of humanity, the audience is quickly reminded that it’s a comedy throughout the movie.
Everyone of the actors is funny, there’s even a young Justin Long here, and while there is sufficient action / drama to move the story forward with some substance, it’s the comedy that you’re going to remember here. Alan Rickman and Tim Allen fighting, Sigourney Weaver translating from human to ship, and general awkwardness of situation.
It’s a good watch, and I think that whether or not you’re a fan of “Star Trek”, then I think there is something at which you can laugh.
Badly Marketed Yet Utterly Brilliant
This film was amazing. I saw the trailers and swore I’d never watch it. A couple of friends overruled this after watching it in the theaters, and I’m glad they did.Not only is this film an amusing spoof of Science Fiction Fen-dom, it’s a brilliant action-adventure/science-fiction film in its own right. The only other film I can think of that is a righteous satirical look, yet a splendid example of the genre, is the Fifth Element.
Galaxy Quest Has It All. Beautiful women in scanty clothing. Love interests. Computers. Space ships. Ugly and evil monsters. Blasters. Arcane martial arts. Dynamite catch phrases. And best of all, the very population that is satirized is the group that Saves The Day.
The dialogue is brilliant – you’ll find yourself quoting from this film regularly. The acting is marvelous. Tim Allen doing William Shatner doing a Heroic Spaceship Captain is worth the rental all by itself, not to mention Alan Rickman’s memorably dry performance as the I-Am-Not-My-Strange-Looking-Alien character.
The first thing I thought upon leaving the theater was that I had to see this film again. The first thing I thought upon seeing it again was that I would have to own this movie. Check it out – you won’t be sorry.
Forget Spaceballs and 2001:A Space Travesty, this is the ultimate salute to sci-fi!
I like a good spoof/comedy movie when it is done right. As far as spoof movies go though, there are those that are really unfunny and a waste of time which applies to 2001:A Space Travesty and anything by Friedberg and Seltzer. There is also the kind that has hit and miss moments but reasonably entertaining, Spaceballs in my opinions belongs under this category. And there is the spoof that work on every level, of which Young Frankenstein and this underrated gem Galaxy Quest fits like a glove.Do I have any problem with Galaxy Quest? Not with the movie itself. But I do have a problem with the way it was marketed. Like Bridge to Terabithia, Lilo and Stitch, Tangled and Disney’s Hunchback of Notre Dame, Galaxy Quest was marketed terribly. For example, watching the trailer, I thought I was in for a mediocre comedy with substandard effects and corny dialogue. When it came to seeing the movie finally in trepidation, I was shocked at how much that wasn’t the case! Galaxy Quest is just brilliant, and one of my favourites, and has been since I first saw it.
For one thing, Galaxy Quest has wonderful production values. The cinematography and editing are crisp and smooth, the costumes are inventive and the sets and scenery are colourful. The real revelation are the special effects, which are just sublime. These special effects do not look as though they were made in a hurry or in a half-hearted fashion, care has gone into constructing them and it shows. Also they enhance the story and the like in alternative to distracting from it.
Galaxy Quest is not the sort of movie where the visuals are the only asset going for it. There is also David Newman’s score, which with its rousing, energetic and clever themes and motifs compliments everything beautifully without distracting from the mood and composition of each scene. Galaxy Quest also has a strong story, this story is not a predictable one, instead it is fun and exciting making the most of an inspired premise, not to mention it bounces along at a furious pace.
The film’s humour also helps elevate. Galaxy Quest’s script is fantastic. No badly explored clichés or crude humour and all that in sight. It is hysterically funny, very smart and quotable. Not only that the dialogue is thoughtful with a lot of heart. The references to Star Trek, the movies and its fans are clever, sly and wonderfully incorporated in the story and writing, the characters are immensely likable and engaging as well as being alive to every character nuance and the direction is done with precision.
Galaxy Quest couldn’t have had a more perfect cast either. Tim Allen seems to be having a ball, Sigourney Weaver is charming not to mention very, very hot, Alan Rickman is hilarious doing what he’s best at bagging all the best lines and an endearing sense of bitterness, Tony Shalhoub is the wonderful Tony Shalhoub he always is with a deliberately burned-out character and Sam Rockwell is also very good. Also Sarris is a wonderful villain, an utter bastard and very ruthless with a cool demise, appropriately sinister voice and awesome make-up.
All in all, a wonderful film and the ultimate salute to the genre it pays homage to. But there is also something special about Galaxy Quest, it flawlessly satirises the acting profession and parodies fans of sci-fi and Star Trek without being rude about them and it is an engaging and original space saga in its own right. 10/10 Bethany Cox
