Movie: Galaxy Quest
Basic Plot: The extremely underrated comedy about the stars of a former hit Star Trek-like show who accidentally end up on a real space adventure and bumble their way through some sticky situations.
I'm Okay With: The fact that considering that this is a spoof on Star Trek, I can't really make fun of anything that happens in it that the movie hasn't already except.......
I'm Not Okay With: The fact that the aliens in this movie were able to make such sophisticated technology (like a functional spaceship, teleporter, laser guns, etc.) based off of clips from a TV show. In case you haven't seen this movie for some reason, Tim Allen and his crew of aging TV actors are teleported aboard a spaceship of aliens that worship them because they saw their TV show which they believed were "historical documents" about their real life. Based off of the "documents" they viewed, these aliens were able to build a replica of the spaceship the actors supposedly flew on the show. How is that possible? It's not like the TV show ever showed EVERY single room on the ship, let alone ever broadcast an actual set of blueprints for the ship. On top of that, the engine on the show was fictional and used fictional fuel, so how were they able to make these things? That is literally impossible. And let's not forget about the Omega 13 device. This machine was introduced on the last episode of the show and not even the crew knew what it did, but the aliens were able to make it. So, these aliens were smart enough to create a machine that no one knew what it did, but also make this machine perform its function like it was supposed to even though no one knew what that function was. And don't even get me started on the fact that these aliens were intelligent enough to make all of this stuff, but stupid enough not to realize that the "historical documents" were actually just an Earth TV show. I am not okay with that.
"Also, why didn't Alan Rickman's character just take off that ridiculous fake head thing? It couldn't possibly be comfortable." |
