A group of dysfunctional personalities must learn to become more than a team. Each person must learn through trials and tribulations to overcome his/her shortcomings; this requires each to rely on the unique abilities of others to survive. They must realize the dangers of lies and deceit; then they must repent. There is death and destruction. This is a rare instance where revenge is a motive for a good outcome.
They could not have picked a better cast. I have the feeling that they were playing themselves. And the chemistry that usually is between one or two people was between them all. Tim Allen plays the Commander who, while in the act of relieving himself, realizes that the other actors consider him a joke. When he gets a second chance via the intrusion of an alien war, he invites the other actors to join him on the "Galaxy Quest". After you get over the initial shock of Sigourney Weaver's appearance, she makes you feel that she is Gwen DeMarco. She takes the job that life has handed her and turns it into a positive.
Move over Gene Roddenberry. I was hoping for a series. Unfortunately, with the demise of the major actor, Alan Rickman. This is all there is going to be of Galaxy Quest.
