lives up to the standard set by the first one
call me crazy , but i thought this movie was as good as the first one . true , it is a bit more far fetched and there is less of a story , but it makes up for that in sheer excitement . it's very fast paced from beginning to end . the first one had its share of action , but the action her is on a grander scale . i also...

hysterically funny sci / fi spoof of pop culture and " the cult of celebrity "
Galaxy Quest is a comedy sc / fi action adventure film rolled into one . it is a spoof of Star Trek and and other sc / ci TV shows / movies . but more than that , and more importantly , it also pokes fun at popular culture and how absurd we have become as a society . for instance , the worshipping of Celebreties as ido...

terrifically entertaining and thought provoking movie dealing with possibility of WW3
i really liked this movie . i'm not really fond of Tony Scott's directing style , at least his last few efforts anyway . but Scott is fairly restrained for this 1995 film . the film takes place during heightened tensions between most of the world ( including the United States and a rogue Russian leader who has amassed ...
