This movie's so cheesy, it's good. The premise is cute: what would happen if an alien society found episodes of a space-travel show and thought it was real? What if they came to earth to find these "space travellers" and ask for their help? Seems ridiculous, but it allows for some awkward humor and a great adventure story.
If you've ever been a Trek fan, this one will be especially fun for you to watch. The expendable crew member tags along on the adventure, and provides a great little subplot. Will he live or die? Will he ever get a last name? And Sigourney Weaver's character laments her pointless job: repeating what the computer says.
Your life might not be changed by this movie, but you'll probably laugh. Sometimes, that's good enough.
