WSC Film Night - GALAXY QUEST
WSC's next socially-distanced Saturday Night Film presentation is GALAXY QUEST. Much-overlooked (but hugely-appreciated by those who know it), GALAXY QUEST is an affectionate and utterly hilarious tribute to cheesy television sci-fi (we're talking 'Star Trek' here) and the fandom it inspires. Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Sam Rockwell and Tim Allen feature as the washed-up, cynical and constantly bickering stars of long-cancelled tv sci-fi series 'Galaxy Quest', who now dine out on fan convention appearances where they wearily re-enact the glory of their past roles for smitten admirers. At one such convention they are confronted by the Thermians - actual aliens who have picked up the tv transmissions of 'Galaxy Quest' and believe the crew of the starship 'Protector' are the only ones who can save them from annihilation by their terrifying lizardy adversaries led by evil warlord Sarris. Playing along with what they believe to be over-obsessive fans, the crew find themselves embroiled in an actual inter-galactic bust-up, and well out of their depth!
GALAXY QUEST is full of clever ideas brilliantly woven together by screen writers Robert Gordon and David Howard and executed with glee by the stellar cast - everyone's having a ball and the results are unforgettably funny, and surprisingly touching. "A sparkling blend of sci-fi and comedy that affectionately spoofs every Star Trek cliché known to man... or Klingon" - bbc.com. Don't miss a rare opportunity to see GALAXY QUEST on the big screen - you'll be so overheated from laughing that you'll be thankful for the table service on hand to serve refreshing drinks!
