GALAXY QUEST Celebrates 25th Anniversary With 4K Ultra HD Debut 12/3/24!


From the Paramount press release:

Never give up, never surrender!

Celebrate the 25th anniversary of the beloved sci-fi comedy classic GALAXY QUEST as it arrives for the first time ever on 4K Ultra HD™ December 3, 2024 from Paramount Home Entertainment.

Featuring an out-of-this-world, all-star cast including Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Tony Shalhoub, Sam Rockwell, Enrico Colantoni, Daryl Mitchell, Justin Long, Missi Pyle, and Rainn Wilson, this rollicking send-up of sci-fi fanaticism is as funny today as when it premiered in theatres 25 years ago on December 25, 1999.

Newly remastered under the supervision of director Dean Parisot, GALAXY QUEST is presented in 4K Ultra HD with spectacular Dolby Vision® and HDR-10, as well as with Dolby Atmos® sound for the most immersive home viewing experience.  For its 25th anniversary, the film will be available in a nationwide release and a Limited-Edition SteelBook®, both of which offer access to a Digital copy of the film and over 90 minutes of new and legacy bonus content, including a new Filmmaker Focus with director Dean Parisot reflecting on the film and its enduring popularity.  The 25th anniversary release also includes the previously created Thermian language track.

Bonus content is detailed below:

Synopsis

Years after cancellation, the stars of the television series Galaxy Quest cling to their careers. When a distressed interstellar race mistakes the show for “historical documents,” lead actor Jason Nesmith (Tim Allen) and his crew of has-beens are unwittingly recruited to save the alien race from a genocidal warlord. Featuring an all-star ensemble, including Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Tony Shalhoub, Sam Rockwell, Daryl Mitchell, Justin Long and Rainn Wilson, GALAXY QUEST is a hilarious adventure that boldly goes where no comedy has gone before.

GALAXY QUEST is rated PG for some action violence, mild language and sensuality 

I can't believe this is 25 years old.  Glad to see it's getting a 4K and Atmos release.  This is going to make a great Christmas present for the sci-fi fans on your list.

This is one of the best Star Trek movies. The cast, the entire cast, were outstanding.  This unique movie is both a serious adventure and a satire.

This is one of the best Star Trek movies. The cast, the entire cast, were outstanding.  This unique movie is both a serious adventure and a satire.
It also features a good, fun representation of conventions and the fans that attend them.

I'll be reviewing this one...one of my favorites as well. As Barry stated, arguably the best Star Trek film ever made.

Already have this ordered. The Blu-ray is pretty old at this point, so I'm looking forward to this - can't wait!
