A handful of funny brainstorms can be found rattling around the slapdash confines of Ice Pirates. [03 Apr 1984, p.C6]

Mindless fun, though, if you don't look too hard at the effects and are willing to accept the wooden Urich as Errol Flynn or Louis Hayward.

The Ice Pirates is a Star Wars knock-off tricked out with cheesy special effects and nonstop gags, and it's almost entertaining despite itself. It's as if someone wanted to try the Airplane! formula on space epics, and nearly got it right. [20 Mar 1984, p.C7]

A busy, bewildering, exceedingly jokey science-fiction film that looks like a Star Wars spinoff made in an underdeveloped galaxy.

This movie is cheap, campy, with zero grade fx, no laughs, and no decent action, With lame scenes that rip off Logan's Run and Rollerball. And movie has an abrupt ending, like they ran out of money, That said, nobody in the cast phoned it in, They give their all, Everyone looks like they are having a good time,
