| | `Galaxy Quest': Fighting Bad Aliens, for Real |
 | | Alan Rickman and Sigourney Weaver in "Galaxy Quest," about a group of washed-up actors on a canceled television series who are enlisted in interplanetary battles in real life. |
 | | "Galaxy Quest," opening Saturday, spins out of a single joke, about a bunch of washed-up actors from a canceled television series who are enlisted by some credulous interplanetary simpletons to champion them in conflict with a scaly, bellicose villain who has all but exterminated their people. |
 | | If "Galaxy Quest" never attains consistently giddy heights as it plays out its combination of knowing satire and heroic adventure, it nevertheless keeps its tongue firmly in its cheek, offers a few genuine laughs, moves swiftly, if not at warp speed, and is led by a talented cast. |
