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