Galaxy Quest - Full Movie Reaction!

I liked it. Brandon's room with all the action figures looks like my house. The referencing of Star Trek TOS is much overstated and it is not necessary to enjoy the movie. Actually most of the references are from other sources, including, Dr. Who, The Next Generation, Marvel, especially Thor and The Thing, even Laurel and Hardy. What appeals to me is the affectionate treatment of the fans with their cosplay, despite their annoying fanaticism. They save the world in the end. The fans and the Termians (Great moves bfw bunny!) stand out in a story with minimal character arcs for the main cast. I appreciate the details. Giving the navigator, Tommy, a control stick and a throttle makes more sense than entering commands on a keyboard. Also the ship has got a nice design, with warp drive configuration. Rickman and Weaver take their roles seriously, Allen not so much but he doesn't try a Shatner speech(!), while handling the fight moves in a very cool Shatnerian way. Great movie experience with bunny. Good night and thank you.

By Grabthar’s Hammer… what a reaction!

"By Grabthar's Hammer" = "Live Long And Prosper" More or less...

Like good Trek, this can be watched over and over again. Still fun each time. Tony Shalhoub is known for his role in Monk in the '00s; always a pleasure to see him act. He was also a squirrely alien in MIB on earth who ran a pawn shop/jewelry store and kept getting his head blown off and regrowing it.

Bunny, was looking at your movie reactions and found this from a couple years ago. A movie that's always fun to watch. You asked about the "Never give up, never surrender" line by Commander Taggart and where have you perhaps heard it before. The quote is not exact but it was inspired from two speeches British Prime Minister Winston Churchill gave during some of the darkest days of World War II. On October 29, 1941: "Surely from this period of ten months this is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never-in nothing, great or small, large or petty — never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy." And from perhaps his most famous speech, June 4, 1940, after the miraculous evacuation of Allied troops trapped at Dunkirk: "We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end... we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender."
