This is a genuinely enjoyable film, one I’d happily revisit and suggest to others, particularly those with an appreciation for Star Trek. The production quality is quite high, though it seems much of the budget was allocated towards securing the cast and constructing the sets, notably the ship itself. This may well be the primary reason people have attempted spoofs of Star Trek since its inception; however, only "Galaxy Quest" and "The Orville" have truly committed to the task. Most attempts tend toward a more earnest tone, like Babylon 5, and even “The Orville” falls somewhere in between those approaches. What I appreciate most about this movie is how closely it mirrors “The Invention of Lying,” where an alien civilization builds a starship, gives it to humans, and we simply maintain the charade so that we can continue possessing it. While the more compelling element involves similar themes found in "Star Trek"—the interactions between aliens and humans, and the way humanity is examined—the film consistently reminds you that it’s intended as a comedy. The performances are all quite humorous; there's even a younger Justin Long featured. Although there’s enough action and drama to advance the plot with some weight, it’s the comedic elements that will stick with you. Seeing Alan Rickman and Tim Allen in conflict, Sigourney Weaver acting as a translator between humans and the ship, and the general awkwardness of the circumstances are all memorable moments. It's an entertaining experience, and I believe there’s something to find amusing regardless of whether or not you're familiar with "Star Trek."
