Notes

Story Synopsis:
Once, they were the hottest stars on TV. Now, 20 years later, the cast of Galaxy Quest are washed-up, anxiety ridden has-beens who are hired to appear at electronics store openings and thrill their creepy die-hard fans at Sci Fi conventions. That is, until they are approached by some even more unusual than usual fans-alien rebels from another solar system who have been watching the reruns of the show, and don’t know any better than to believe that the adventures-and the crew-are real. After engaging the services of Captain Peter Quincy Taggart (Allen), who thinks he’s at a really elaborate fan convention when he’s taken to their ship, they also secure Lieutenant Tawny Madison (Weaver), Dr. Lazarus (Rickman) and the rest of the bogus crew to help them in a real space mission. The alien planet scenes were appropriately filmed at Goblin Valley, Utah.

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD, viewed in component video, exhibits a sharp and detailed picture that is beautifully rendered in all aspects. Chapter 12 is a good example of the fine details and excellent resolution, as the lint on Tim Allen’s costume is revealed. Colors are rich and vibrant with naturally balanced fleshtones and deep, pure blacks. Contrast and shadow delineation are perfectly rendered, with excellent visual information in the darkest scenes. Only minor artifacts are noticed, but there is no distracting pixelization for a picture that will surely impress.

Soundtrack:
The Dolby® Digital 5.1-channel soundtrack is a sonic presentation of remarkable fidelity and generally satisfying dimension. The music score is nicely recorded, and has a sweeping, engulfing presence that penetrates the listening space. The soundstage tends to be balanced toward the screen with stereophonic sound effects subtly distributed to the surrounds. The latter is engaged prominently for the music, contributing substantially to its effectiveness, though at times the surrounds come alive during key moments. The dialogue is well-recorded, with natural-sounding voices and better-than-typical spatial integration. If this soundtrack has a selling point, it’s clearly the low end. Deep bass is powerful, occasionally intense and even system threatening with extension below 25Hz in both the main channels and the .1 LFE. Although not distinguished in terms of dimensional utilization, this is nonetheless film sound that will surely entertain and at the same time please fans of bass.
