Join us for this month's Science on Screen showing of GALAXY QUEST ? The stars of a 1970s sci-fi show—now scraping a living through re-runs and sci-fi conventions—are beamed aboard an alien spacecraft. Believing the cast's heroic on-screen dramas are historical documents of real-life adventures, the aliens turn to the ailing celebrities for help in their quest to overcome the oppressive regime in their solar system.?️ Tickets available at www.varsitydesmoines.com/showtimes/galaxy-quest.

There are a variety of sci-fi movies about space travel, faster-than-light ships, and advanced galactic civilizations, but one thing they often have in common are the extraterrestrials. Why do they so often look like us? Drake professor Dr. Charles Nelson will talk about how humans imagine alien races and why they so often look humanoid in appearance, especially when we know that life might arise elsewhere in very different and wild shapes and sizes.
∙Director: Dean Parisot
∙Run Time: 101 mn.
∙Release Year: 1999
