The 1999 movie Galaxy Quest combined comedy, action, and science fiction. Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, and Alan Rickman are actors starring in a sci-fi TV show similar to Star Trek, fandom and all. But the aliens don't realize that, and recruit the show's cast into an actual intergalactic war. It's a fun premise, and Galaxy Quest won several science fiction awards. Now Screen Junkies goes back twenty years to re-examine the movie for good and bad and meta. Mostly good.

Galaxy Quest honestly is a great movie. It's most fun for people who know (or at least know of) the original Star Trek movies but, really, anyone would enjoy it. As far as I remember, it's even little-kid safe (you might want to preview it before you introduce little ones to it, it's been a few years since I watched it) so it might be a good one to keep everyone entertained through the coming family-centric holidays.
