SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless
DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
eozyo Being a fan of time travel and Futurama, I could only say that this movie combines perfectly both of my pleasures.If you loved the original Futurama, this movie depicts a higher quality in 3D graphic animation than the original series (no wonder, it was made 3 years after the series cancellation).The plot is simply genius and it also shows a lot of back flashes related to previous seasons, as well as introducing/continuing Fry and Leela's romance story.Overall, this movie is a must to watch for any fan of time travel adventures but if you never watched the series you may not understand some of the sequences or recurring jokes.
Tweekums Having enjoyed the series I wasn't so sure about watching the Futurama films as frequently film spin-offs from half our shows fail to maintain their stories for the longer time. I also feared from the title that this would be overly centred on Bender, although I like the character I found that with the exception of the excellent "Godfellas" many of the episodes were he took centre stage were among the weaker ones. Thankfully when I finally got around to watching it I was not disappointed and found it to be a great addition the the franchise and despite the title wasn't overly centred on Bender or any other character.The opening wasn't too promising when characters learn that they had been cancelled by the Box Corporation, thankfully that gag was soon over and they were off to the Nude Beach Planet to make a delivery and take advantage of fact that they could show more flesh now they are on DVD. Here they are approached by the Naked Scammers who flood the Planet Express crew with dodgy email scams which they fall and end up losing the business to the scammers. Once they own the company the discover that Fry has the secret of time travel tattooed to his backside and re-program Bender and send him back in time to steal the world's treasures. Once they have all they want they send him back on one final mission... to kill Fry in the past so nobody else can get the secret. Fry tries to save himself by also going back and end up with multiple copies of Fry and Bender living at various times.The film then follows Fry in both the 31st and 21st centuries, where there are lots of sun sub-plots involving Leela falling for the mysterious Lars, Hermes losing his head and his wife after a limboing accident and teaming up with Robot Santa and his friends to fight the Naked Scammers.All the main cast appear along with a good selection of secondary characters such as Zapp, Kif and everybody's favourite president Richard Milhous Nixon. Unlike other comedy shows that have feature length spin offs this didn't feel like an episode that had been stretched to fill the time nor did it feel like a few episodes tagged together. I suspect one needs to be familiar with the characters through watching the series as little time is wasted explaining who the characters are, for example if I hadn't seen the episode "Time Keeps on Slipping" I'd have been confused about the Harlem Globetrotters appearing as experts of temporal science.I would certainly recommend this to any fans of the series and for people who haven't seen the series watch that then watch this.
kaiserkarl31 This movie is GREAT, and great Futurama. It follows the spirit of the show to the letter, has some great lines, and keeps you entertained. The humor is not always blatant, which is quite characteristic of the show, and the more dramatic moments were done tastefully without incurring boredom. There were also some moments where I laughed until my sides hurt....I especially appreciate the cameo appearances by some of the minor characters, such as Seymore. I can see why some might consider a few scenes in this movie to be slow, but it IS a movie---how many (good) movies are non-stop action and/or humor?An absolute must for any Futurama fan, and probably not a bad start for a new viewer as well.
Enchorde Recap: It has been a couple of bad years for Planer Express, their deliveries cancelled for two years. But now they're back! But as usual something with the mission goes awry. This time the crew gives their e-mail addresses to a couple of strangers and subsequently everyone is scammed out of all their belongings. What is worse, Bender is uploaded with a virus forcing him to obey every command from the scammers. And with a time machine he is forced to steal every known treasure from Earths past. But more than one can play the time game, and soon everything is a mess that threatens to destroy the universe...Comments: This is a splendid comeback. At least for us Futurama-fans out there that were devastated when the show was cancelled. And Fox, sorry the Box-company, is given a kick in the beginning.Then there is a typical, but longer, Futurama-adventure with all the typical jokes, the special Futurama-humor, twists and turns. Everything that makes each and every episode great is there. Bender is as evil as ever, Fry ignorant and lovesick for Leela, Zoidberg as incompetent as only he can be, Professor Farnsworth a couple of years older still. But added to this are also a lot of flashbacks, references and pointers to a lot of earlier episodes. Most, if not all, of the notable characters make appearances. So, for you to enjoy this movie to its fullest you need to know your Futurama, and know it well.Fortunately I do know my Futurama, so I thought it was great. And I have high expectations on future Futurama-videos when they can develop a story much more than the ordinary 25 minutes.And oh, if you have the DVD, do watch the Extras. They're great.All glory to the Hypnotoad! 10/10
