May 13, 2012Bizarre flick frankly, swings from kids adventure in some places to quite adult material in others. Its a full mix of 'Mad Max' 'Star Wars' 'Krull' and 'Star Trek' with 'Pirates of the Caribbean' character types at the helm. Completely hokey to the max with idea rip off's left ri... read more

May 28, 2011This movie has some charm, but for the most part it's very uncertain of itself. Is it a parody or spoof? Is it a serious sci-fi movie? Should the jokes be adult or kiddie? Well, it's got a little of everything, sci-fi, comedy, action, adventure, romance, and a strange ending.... read more

July 19, 2009An utterly terrible, bumbling mess of camp and sci-fi. And, for that reason, thoroughly enjoyable for its ridiculousness. Buxom space amazons riding unicorns? Space herpes? Conveyor-belt assembly-line castration devices? Bumbling chippendale battle robots?

July 11, 2007Corny and fun; not as bad as I thought it would be. Almost as goofy as Monty Python and the Holy Grail in space. It's a silly runaround on a space ship and a planet though. Bruce Vilanch is a weird thing.

May 21, 2010HAHA - This makes the Campy/Corny 80's flicks list for sure. Actual smart ass space pirates (with swords even) trying to rid the evil bad guys of their extra water, which has become the most valuable substance in the universe. I know, I know - they can build spaceships and lase... read more

September 5, 2009Super cheesy fantasy/apocalypse film in outerspace. Water is a commodity and controlled by the ruling class. Some captured pirates are sold to a princess whose father has gone missing. She enlists their help to locate him in this odd adventure. Space herpes, a rape joke, and Bruc... read more

June 9, 2009Never said I understood this cheesy and silly science fiction pirates movie. It's funny in its own way.

May 18, 2009I liked it when I was a kid. I seen it again not to long ago ,and thought it was actually lame. But still if you want to watch something different....

November 21, 2008Absolutely and fantastically odd, I loved every minute of this movie. Did any of it make sense? Not really. Did they intend it too? Definitely not. And therein lies its greatness. A shining example of 80s cinema at its best.

Everything about The Ice Pirates is done in fun, of course; it's just that much of it is overdone. Full Review

A throwaway scifi comedy perfect for Saturday afternoon television matinees.
