One of my fave movies and now a classic. I met Alan Rickman back in 2009 and the nicest limey you could meet. That’s why Tim Allen and him hit it off. Tim Allen stated he wont do the movie without Alan Rickman.

If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend the "making of Galaxy Quest" documentary, Never Give Up, Never Surrender.

The lower weight and depth armor would leave more room to include defense against HEAT rounds.
