The alumni cast of a space opera television series have to play their roles as the real thing when an alien race needs their help. However, they also have to defend both Earth and the alien race from a reptilian warlord.

Review

I don’t watch much comedy. I don’t watch much drama either though if you add comedy to drama, I can kind of get it. Now, if you add comedy to a genre I like, sci-fi, it becomes a complete mess. Yes I get the concept of this and I’m sure it works for a lot of movie goers as is evident in the IMDB scores though it is just not for me. Quite a good cast though I’m not quite sure what they were doing here. The special affects were decent, there is a plot, however stupid it is. The characters had a purpose I guess. Alan Rickman is usually a good watch, here he looked like he wasn’t even interested, maybe in part due to the character he was playing but I think he is much better than this. A famous part of the movie is Sigourney Weaver’s breast, which got a couple of extra points from me. Also, the alien race was super annoying, especially their voices. A poor pick this time out unfortunately.

Trivia

Tim Allen admitted that he was quite star-struck when he met Sigourney Weaver, as he's a huge fan of Alien (1979). Allen even got Weaver to sign some of his Alien memorabilia between takes.
