Movies that feel likeGalaxy Quest (1999)
If you loved Galaxy Quest, the closest films we have are The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005), Kin-dza-dza! (1986) and Dark Star (1974). All three share Galaxy Quest's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is A Trip to the Moon (1902).

If Galaxy Quest hit the spot, these will too

The same preoccupation in both: alien
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

One thread runs through both: spacecraft

Both land wit and play at once
The difference: Takes it somewhere less epic than Galaxy Quest does

Both are working the same pair: teleportation, space battle
The difference: Trades the wit of Galaxy Quest for an angle of its own

Both keep coming back to the same thing: space battle

Cerebral where it counts, epic underneath
The difference: 26 years apart, and the 2020s show

Two things both keep coming back to: time travel and parody

Common ground: spacecraft
The difference: Leans harder into action than Galaxy Quest does

Awestruck comedy in both cases

Both are built on the same subject: teleportation

Common ground: time travel

Common ground: alien
