In the film, Galaxy Quest is a science fiction drama that was canceled for 18 years. At a fan conference, the main actors of the drama met again. Except for Jason, who played commander, everyone else had no inner feelings about the drama and the experience of the year. I don’t even want to mention any feelings. What they didn't expect was that a group of aliens called Thermians took the series seriously, built their own planet according to the settings and plot inside, and regarded the series as noble historical materials. At this moment, they were threatened by a force led by an evil alien named Sarris, so they came to the "crew" of Galaxy Quest for help. From then on, the 5 main actors and a dragon actor began a real space journey. . The film has a steady stream of wonderful lines from beginning to end. It’s super fun. Each crew member + actor himself is set up to spoof the traditional science fiction adventure film. Jason is complacent and disregards the feelings of others, and is intoxicated by others’ feelings of himself. The cult; the actor Alex, who plays the alien assistant Dr. Lazarus, resents that this role has ruined his career as a serious actor (He's British!), and he hates everything from the hood to the lines (his signature line is similar to "walking for the moon" "Like, kids will probably like it very much), I am very uncomfortable with Jason's behavior; the only female character, Gwen, plays a typical image of a big-chested, brainless blonde beauty, who does not have technical content if he repeats the computer. The most interesting part of his work is that Guy, the background actor, was always worried that he would meet the fate of the show, died early, and called his mother nervously. In his eyes, it was dangerous: I'm not even supposed to be here. I'm just "Crewman Number Six." I'm expendable. I'm the guy in the episode who dies to prove how serious the situation is. I've gotta get outta here.
One of the major themes of this film is of course the spoof of Star trek-based sci-fi dramas and related fan culture. Just imagine how the exaggerated and idealized plots of TV dramas will be put into reality. For example, if the positive characters on TV are injured, they usually do Tough and tough to endure the pain, the injured crew member in the film screamed like a pig. The scene where Jason fights against the giant boulder monster is said to be a spoof of a specific scene in a certain episode of ST. Jason asks the people on the ship for help through the walkie-talkie and asks him what to do. The people inside provide a bunch of unrealistic plans according to the plot of the TV series. Why use the surroundings? Assembling weapons or something, Jason is no exception in the end, like most of the heroes who have fought, tore up his clothes and show his body, spray~~ Many places in the film are mocking the unreality of TV. Jason and Gwen adopted a design according to the TV series. After the dangerous passage, Jason cursed: Whoever wrote this episode should die! Jason took it for granted that he could do everything on TV, and now he can do it too. It turns out that he is just an actor after all. Under the threat of Sarris, he had to In a complicated mood, he clarified the truth to the leader of Thermians and admitted that he had said panic. Never give up. Never surrender's words are sometimes weak. But on the other hand, Jason finally reversed the situation with the help of a small fan of the show and his friends, and successfully eliminated Sarris. It was precisely because of the fans' understanding of the content of the show. This writing is not completely Abandoning the content of the drama is very clever. The image of fans in the film is very positive, whether it is Thermians or those small fans, they all give people a very pure and beautiful feeling, which is in contrast to the discouraged and lack of vigor of the actors. Alex was also moved by the death of a loyal admirer of his Thermians, and finally said the line that he has always hated. Some meaning is that Thermians built their planet according to the series, and they turned out to be very successful. Their minds are pure and honest. They don’t know what deception is. I don’t know if they want to say that the world on TV is idealized and utopian~~ Another theme of I think is to find one's own value and identity. The actors of Galaxy Quest have never found any other decent characters since the series was stopped. They are framed in the past, because the characters from a long time ago are now remembered, not the recent achievements, which makes the actors feel very excited. Poor, just like if a person keeps mentioning how brilliant he was in high school, it means that his future development is mostly a failure and not worth mentioning. Jason rediscovered the excitement of life from his first spaceship trip, prompting him to take everyone to join this real interstellar trip. After returning to Earth after such a tossing, they felt different when they appeared in the cheers of fans. They really realized what it is like to be a hero. Although there are a lot of things they don’t like in TV series, they are not the same as before. The connection between them contributed to this peculiar experience, and I deeply realized how important and cherished this drama they were originally bored in some people’s minds. The mood between the actors and the fans finally became the same, and it became a reciprocal relationship. , Jason's gesture to the little fans was not for showing off, but from the heart. Generally speaking, it is a good-looking comedy full of jokes, full of humor and wisdom, and no lack of moving. The actors also performed very well. You can only understand how fun it is to watch.
