30 Day Movie Challenge: Day One Your favourite Movie.
Galaxy Quest (1999)
I never actually saw this film when it came out at the cinema, when it first came out I had no concept of who Alan Rickman was, as far as I knew of him when I was young and I'd seen Die Hard I quite fancied the german guy but that's all he was to me. He wasn't Alan Rickman to me in the way he is today until he took on the roll of Snape, then I was fascinated by him he fit the bill of Snape perfectly and so it set me off on a roll of finding out all his films I wanted to see him in EVERYTHING!
This was one of the few films I saw, it was on TV one afternoon and the main draw of watching it was Alan Rickman, but I loved it. The film is so funny its dry and witty yet at the same time it's got some real slapstick in there. It's set in space. it's got action, comedy, romance, sci-fi, drama everything.
For those of you who don't know Galaxy Quest is a simple story. Aliens from a distant planet mistakenly think that a cancelled TV show named Galaxy Quest is a historical document, they come down to ask the shows cast for help and the now much older cast, bored of being at conventions end up out of their depth fighting real aliens in space.
The cast is pretty damn good for the film to; Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver and Alan Rickman take up the three main roles as the main actors on the show. Then we have a whole cast of crazy characters, the over reactive driver of our vessel, Quelleck the alien in awe of Rickmans, Dr Lazarus; the extreamley laid back technician who falls in love with an alien and the panicky extra scared he's going to die at any given moment.
I watched this film so much that I wore the dvd out and when dropped it broke clean in half. Like I said I love this film so much, it pays homage to so many brilliant films and tv shows in it. Five stars and I reccomend everyone watches it :)
