In a distant future scarce of water, space pirates get caught after stealing ice from a spaceship. A little movie with a lot of heart. There's a generally broad and good humour about the whole film, and the cast play it up quite well. Progressive characters. You can tell. "The Ice Pirates" The time is the distant future, where by far the most precious commodity in the galaxy is water. Hilarious comedy. Have an ice day! It's a parched future, and water, the galaxy's only valuable commodity, is controlled by the evil Templars. The slight film tries some witless smart-aleck jokes, fails in its intention to be campy and crudely settles for being a low-level goofy spoof of Star Wars. The premise is pretty straight forward for a science fiction movie: in a far-flung galaxy water has become the most hard to come by commodity and a big, evil. The last surviving water. . By Vincent. When the jokes do land, they land well. ''The Ice Pirates,'' which has been rated PG (''Parental Guidance Suggested''), contains dialogue heavily laced with double-entendre witlessness. They are sold to a princess looking for her dad. Improves upon each viewing. Ice Pirates is Endorphina powered video slot with 5 reels and 10 pay-lines. A busy, bewildering, exceedingly jokey science-fiction film that looks like a Star Wars spinoff made in an underdeveloped galaxy. Thoughtful spfx for a shoestring budget. This is slot is inspired with North Pole and the Pirates cruising over there.
