Galaxy Quest

 I am so sorry I missed this in cinemas. It would have hit much harder in the 1990s. It even seems to be referencing Deep Space Nine, with the action in the mine field. 

Tim Allen plays Bill Shatner- play Kirk in the wilderness years. Going to conventions, hogging the spotlight

Alan Rickman is good as the Mr Spock figure, who will only be remembered for a few cod lines of dialog 

The Aliens are played completely straight, and voiced brilliantly. This really helps sell it

This must be one of the first films to note an online space. The plot is resolved by having teen Quest fans, describe the layout of the ship. They are comunicating via chat rooms or mailing lists - I wonder if they would be allowed to gather a lot of fireworks so quickly
