United States	Rita Kempley The Washington Post	"Thanks to a game cast, clever screenwriters (David Howard and Robert Gordon) and director Dean Parisot's light touch, 'Galaxy Quest' is funny without being flip."	POS
United Kingdom	Andrew Pulver The Guardian	"Parisot has created a movie that's considerably flashier than its inspiration. Crucially, it's very funny too"	POS
United States	Joe Leydon Variety	"A mischievously clever and slickly commercial sci-fi comedy with strong cross-generational appeal, pic gets impressive mileage from a one-joke premise (...) thanks in large measure to game efforts from a first-rate cast"	POS
United States	Lawrence Van Gelder The New York Times	"An amiable comedy that simultaneously manages to spoof these popular futuristic space adventures and replicate the very elements that have made them so durable."	POS
United States	Keith Phipps AV Club	"The cast is what makes 'Galaxy Quest' work (...) It's a funny, fitting homage to 'Star Trek' and its followers"	POS
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"The movie's humor works best when the illogic of the TV show gets in the way (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Andre Dellamorte Collider	"You would never expect this film to be this good"	POS
