If you haven't dusted off and watched Galaxy Quest in a while, make that a priority - it remains an absolute joy to watch in so many ways. Then watch this warm, well-made documentary that assembles almost all the major players on-screen and from behind the scenes and tells the interesting story of the film's tortuous development (which feels effectively open and honest), and onward through the casting process, studio expectations and misjudged marketing to the wonderful ensemble cast's recollections, with the inevitably emotional section remembering the late Alan Rickman. Director of the film Dean Parisot comes across as an immensely knowledgeable and practical but genial wrangler of the film project, but the sheer enjoyment that the film engenders comes across in every single interview with everyone involved. Never Surrender is a genuine and sincere love-letter to a genuinely deserving movie.
