This feels like a movie that if I saw it when it came out, it would hold up and be a nostalgia 5-star pick. Instead I saw it sometime after that, didn't really like it, and now I think it is just okay. The cast all plays their part well, and the idea is interesting. Something about it just doesn't connect with me.
I do LOVE when Sam Rockwell says "Is there air? You don't know!" I watched that part a second time.

For four years, the courageous crew of the NSEA protector - "Commander Peter Quincy Taggart", "Lt. Tawny Madison and "Dr.Lazarus" - 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 Now, twenty years later, aliens under attack have mistaken the Galaxy Quest television transmissions for "historical documents" and beam up the crew of has-been actors to save the universe.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.
