A clever little spoof about the cast of a cheesy sci-fi show, a la Star Trek and the clashing of the real world vs the imaginary one they didn't even know existed. I don't think I've ever liked Tim Allen as much as I did in this movie, and honestly, Sigourney Weaver has never looked sexier. The script is clever and insightful, written by someone who clearly knows what it's like to be a Trekkie Geek, and the cast of aliens (led by Enrico Colantoni) are charming in their naive innocence. This is one of the better sci-fi comedies you will ever see: self-aware, and loaded with plenty of jokes about television, screenwriting and the thankless jobs of washed up actors holding onto the last remnants of their once-upon-a-time glory. Such a shame it never got a sequel (or two) that it clearly deserves.
