  • Lots of the comments brought up Galaxy Quest, as in this is a rip off of this. I don't see it myself. Other than it's a comedy with good quality special effects there is really nothing to complain about in that regard. That said. I am not a fan of the star/producer. His previous works have always seemed very mean spirited to me.

  • Point me a movie or book that isn't in some way a rip off of another story, plot or retelling of said story. As for being a total rip off of Galaxy Quest, its more of the Dumb vs Dumber version.

    What is - was. What was - is.

    I read a Douglas Adam's interview, where he stated that he was hitch-hiking with his girlfriend. They were following a "Hitch-hikers guide to Europe", and got stuck in the middle of nowhere at night. They camped out, and were looking at some meteors, when he mentioned "Why isn't there a Hich-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy?"

    The rest flowed from there..
