Movies like The American Astronaut

Galaxy Quest parodies the sci-fi genre, particularly the Star Trek franchise, and provides a humorous and loving tribute to the culture surrounding it. Fans of The American Astronaut's comedic elements may find this big-hearted adventure irresistible.

Moon presents a more serious tone but shares with The American Astronaut the theme of solitude in space. Its strong character development and impressive storytelling will appeal to those who appreciate the more thoughtful side of science fiction.

The World's End, part of Edgar Wright's Cornetto Trilogy, fuses science fiction with uproarious comedy and social satire. While not set in space, its clever writing and eccentric characters should resonate with fans of The American Astronaut's offbeat sensibilities.

The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra is a send-up of B-movies from the 1950s and offers a mix of satire and genuine affection for the source material. Its black-and-white aesthetic and intentionally campy vibe will entertain those who appreciate The American Astronaut's retro-futuristic charm.
