Never Surrender: A Galaxy Quest Documentary

To be clear, this is NOT a "The Making Of:" documentary. It is about what the movie meant to the actors and crew. It is about how shows and movies, such as Star Trek, influenced the movie. The reviewer mentioning the audio is spot on. It appears like the documentary was released before anyone watched it; otherwise the audio would have been lowered. I found myself staining to hear the dialog. At one point, the audio suddenly increased to the point where I very literally could not hear the last few words being spoken. Love the movie but this was a waste of time and I didn't even watch it to the end.

For once the real participants of the movies are interviews not some obscure cinema critics. One thing a bit confusing though is the loudness of the background music covering what people are saying. It makes the documentary exhausting to watch.

10/10 for content, 5/10 for audio mixing.

The only thing that spoiled it was the sound mixing ... for about 40% of the interview and commentary scenes the music was about TWO OR THREE TIMES LOUDER than it should have been, and was so bad at times you could hardly hear what the person they were interviewing was saying. An excellent example of this was the interview with the female fan outside the cinema at ~1h20m mark where the music was so loud you almost need to lip read to figure out what she's saying. This is why it's a REALLY BAD IDEA to use the same person who composed the music as your sound editor!

They really need to re-edit this with the MUSIC SCORE reduced to about 40% of its current volume in EVERY scene where people are talking.

I did enjoy watching this documentary, I LOVE Galaxy Quest, and this was a good trip behind the scenes. But, as others have said, the sound mixing is abysmal. The background music is considerably louder than the interviews and it's very annoying. Someone needs to remix this. Otherwise, it's honestly very interesting and entertaining.

Fantastic documentary, well produced and filmed, I'm guessing the sound mixing was done by the guy who made the music because it's stupidly loud, to the point where it's hard to hear the speech at times and is always distracting at the very least. A real shame because it's great otherwise!
