If you didn't see Galaxy Quest when it first came out, then you missed out on one of the best--and funniest--sci-fi films of all time. At once a homage to and satirization of Star Trek, the movie follows an ensemble cast of the fictional television show, "Galaxy Quest," who find themselves beamed aboard a real spaceship piloted by aliens who assume the characters they play on TV are real people.
