5/16: Galaxy Quest is an interesting sci-fi picture I've seen in a long time.

Not only it's a well-done flick, but Galaxy Quest is also a clever spoof. It's essentially Trekkies meets Star Trek. The story works, and the inside jokes are subtle.

I like the acting, especially from Tim Allen who charms his way and is really into his character which is modeled after William Shatner's. I wonder what Captain James T. Kirk thought of the film, and I'm sure it's all too real to him in a Spinal Tap way.

All in all, Galaxy Quest is an impressive sci-fi spoof, enough to be rated highly as some of the Star Trek movies.
