20 Things You Didn’t Know About Galaxy Quest

1. It’s One Of The Best Star Trek Movies Of All Time… Apparently

Galaxy Quest
DreamWorks

Incredibly - and possibly ironically - back in 2013 die hard Trekkers at the world's biggest Star Trek convention back in 2013 voted Galaxy Quest the seventh best Star Trek film of all time.

That's one place ahead of Star Trek: Generations, the actual Next Generation cast's debut motion picture (and the cinematic swan song of Captain James Tiberius Kirk), and one step ahead of J.J. Abrams' 2009 Star Trek reboot.

You can’t really get more affirmation than that - when the fanbase of the franchise you’re homaging decides that your movie is better than half the movies in that franchise.
