This movie is a waste. A waste of time, a waste of money and a waste of the actors involved.
Chazz Palminteri has delivered a few really good performances in his career, a few excellent ones and Til Schweiger while not the greatest actor can usually do a well enough job.
Not in this movie, with this script, with this dialogue.
One more thing, one of the other reviewers has called this a typical Euro-Movie and that is complete nonsense.
If any, it is an untypical Euro movie as it has no aspirations at all.
Anyone who has any knowledge about European cinema would laugh at a classification like that.

Ice Pirates is a B-movie, it's campy, trashy and it is most of the time hilariously funny.
To me it probably is the funniest sf movie I ever watched. Sure, Galaxy Quest is funny, but it is also totally selfconcious, the whole humour comes from making fun of Star Trek.
Ice Pirates also makes fun of sf tropes, but it never takes itself seriously. While the story might be less strange than Buckaroo Banzai, the former is as quirky as the latter.
On the other hand, some of the visuals still look great to me.
This is one of the few films, I loved as a child, that stood up to the test of time and entertained the adult me as well as the young peg.
