For four years, the crew of the NSEA Protector donned their uniforms and set off on thrilling and often dangerous missions in space--then their series was canceled. Twenty years later, the five stars of the classic '70s TV series Galaxy Quest are still in costume, making appearances at science fiction conventions for their legions of die-hard fans. But some of those fans are a little more far out than the actors could ever have imagined.

A group of aliens who have mistaken intercepted television transmissions for "historical documents" arrive at a convention and whisk "Commander Peter Quincy Taggart" (Tim Allen) and his crew into space to help them in their all-too-real war against a deadly adversary. With no script, no director, and no clue about real interstellar travel, the make-believe crew of the Protector has to turn in the performances of their lives to become the heroes the aliens believe them to be.

About the DVD: A nice presentation in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen, with deleted scenes, a featurette, production notes, cast and crew bios, the theatrical trailer and three soundtracks: English in Dolby Digital 5.1 and 2.0, and a "Thermian 2.0" track. The "Thermian" audio track features the entire film dubbed in the aliens' howling, hooting language -- a cute idea that quickly wears thin.

		Mystery Men This comedy spoof follows a team of far-from-super heroes as they try to overcome their shortcomings and earn respect. Mr. Furious (Ben Stiller), the Shoveler (William H. Macy), the Blue Raja (Hank Azaria) and the Bowler (Janeane Garofalo) get a shot at the big time, but if they screw up, Champion City will be doomed! Mystery Men makes barbed mockery of cinematic superheroics.  More Like This		PG-13	(1999)

		Bowfinger Lame producer Bobby Bowfinger (Steve Martin) has a script that's brimming with possibilities. The catch? To get seed money to produce the film, it must feature Hollywood's leading box-office star, Kit Ramsey (Eddie Murphy). Aided and abetted by a cast and crew of misfits, Martin makes one last stab at overnight success. Hilarity is the result.  More Like This		PG-13	(1999)
