The Ice Pirates Ratings & Reviews
- Andrew Hislop19h agoIf you like old and slightly dodgy, this movie is for you. Great cast and an OK story. But, a cult classic, certainly.
- Silent Dee1d agoDefinitely a silly movie. It's like all filmed in ships and space. I think that the producers believed that this was going to be a serious movie and be able to ride the coattails of Star Wars....
- StannyfieldJune 20, 2025I remember this being funnier when I saw it theatrically. Memory is a fickle beast. This has cheap FX, ugly robots and a surprisingly convoluted plot. It also has Angelica Huston and Ron Perlman in early supporting roles, which is good. And the titular pirates do perform a fair amount of swashbuckling. I appreciated the effort to stick to the concept. However, no space comedy should ever contain the “n” word, even in 1984. The time warp bit was kinda funny I guess…
