Never Surrender: A Galaxy Quest Documentary is exactly what the Galaxy Quest movie is: a love letter to fans.
It is also pretty meta, given it’s a documentary about a fictional movie about the actors who played the crew of a fictional starship that literal aliens take as an a real spaceship crew. Then the actors have to become the characters they played to save their alien fans and themselves.
What we have is a real documentary about a movie about a fake show.
