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