You don't have to be a massive fan of the cult 1999 sci-fi satire galaxy quest to enjoy Jack Bennett's absorbing documentary, but it certainly helps. From the endless shots of fan conventions to pre production anecdotes - who knew that Bruce Willis was once considered for the main role - this really is a superfan's dream of a documentary. Luckily there's enough here to appeal to the casual admirer of the original movie as well with plenty of interesting trivia and spirited banter from the various talking heads involved in making of galaxy quest. Kudos also goes to the Bennett for managing to assemble nearly the entire cast for the documentary ( minus the late great Alan Rickman for obvious reasons). Not as compelling as 'heart of darkness' or as incident packed as 'lost in la mancha' , but as documentaries about specific movies go you'd be hard pressed to find one as warm and entertaining as this.
