Details

When Leela is insulted by a group of space-rednecks (like regular rednecks, but in space) she enters the Planet Express ship in a demolition derby. She emerges victorious, but when she brings the damaged ship home and the Professor sees the fuel gauge, he's enraged by the hit he's going to take at the Dark Matter pump. Now the crew have to find a way to break Mom's stranglehold on starship fuel, even if they have to wade through a Lord of the Rings-inspired fantasy-land to do it!

Tetrady not as good as all the hype
Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing
SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
gokcedzgn Did interns do the writing?(that would be insulting the interns) After you start watching the film, it gets worse and worse. The storyline is so predicted and lack of humor unlike the usual Futurama episodes. And the worst part of al isl; the ending... Not clever, not funny, nothing... I want my 90 minutes back!
WakenPayne Beast With A Billion Backs Was Crap Bender's Big Score Is Alright. This Is Great. Bender Looses His Mind Due To Playing Too Much 'Dungeons & Dragons' & Farnsworth Exclaims "Good God Hasn't He Seen The After School Special" That Made Me Laugh & Bender Looses His Interlect. Mom Has Been Lying About A Dark Matter Shortage & The Remainder Of The Planet Express Crew Try To Link The Anti-Matter Crystal To The Dark Matter Crystal. They Get Sent Into A Fantasy World. They Joke Off Lord Of The Rings & Star Wars A Lot. This Is Futurama's Best & Funniest Movie. My Favourite Part Is When Bender Gets Run Dowm By A Bus Thinking Its A Dragon. I Forgot To Mention Dr. Zoidberg Put An Anger Management Collar On Leela.
freakfire-1 None of the Futurama movies are perfect, although they are marking a steady increase of quality. And with this installment, Futurama fans are seeing the series they fell in love with. Or maybe the just liked making fun of Zoidberg. I don't care, as long as they give it a chance.Fuel prices 3008 are skyrocketing and thus need new sources of dark matter. But the secrets about dark matter become more complicated, especially when they go to the crazy fantasy land in the middle of the film. Ah, if only I were Bender and destroyed his game.At any rate, Professor Farnsworth, Fry, Leela, and the whole crew go through this mysterious "Dungeons and Dragons" game it gets a little crazy. It is hard to describe, but any Futurama fan should enjoy it.Overall, very good. Can't wait for the 4th one. "A"
Cory Williams (geometroid) This last year has been one of redemption for several things that interest me. For instance, Chris Nolan followed the dubious "Batman Begins" with "The Dark Night, The Incredible Hulk was better than Ang Lee's version. More than that though, there are three that stand out for me. WALL-E so outstripped Ratatoulle that that film went from a studio destroying nightmare to a slight misstep, Prince Caspian was a big improvement over The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe and Bender's Game turns the God-awful "Beast with a billion backs" into a misstep that can be overlooked a little more. Don't get me wrong, BWAMB is probably not horrible, but I couldn't get it, there was just some bit of life experience I'm missing for that one to resonate with me. On the other hand, I have played D&D and proved that D&D players can in fact get dates. or even wives. Because of this, this film got me right in the funny bone. They parody everything in here, the game, the controversy, the after school special on D&D which did nothing at the time except make the people involved look like complete idiots and the eating of strange things and drinking of soda.It is noteworthy that if you have EVER heard the Deadale Wives do "Dungeons and Dragons" and laughed ("WHERE'S THE CHEETOS?? WHERE'S THE MOUNTAIN DEW????"), then this is the movie for you. Even with all the love however it is my painful duty to inform you that this third movie does not and can not outshine Bender's Big Score. It's sad, but it's true. BBS had an emotional story that is replaced here by a series of more disconnected episodes. One other thing, the first shot in the film was very familiar to me and it took me a long time to figure out because I hadn't seen the film in question in almost 20 years. I comes from an obscure little cable movie called Cloak and Dagger, another movie about RPG players. That just tells you that the writers know their history and I find that comforting.There are a lot of parodies as you might expect from Futurama but they are finally doing parodies of stuff I wanted to see parodied which turns out pretty well for me.In short Fans of D&D will like this one, fans of the epic film trend will like this one and people who like it when Futurama just abandons reality and continuity completely to let the pure art of the moment will like this one. Final breakdown: Story: Good, not fantastic Laughs: Now it's just fantastic (If you get it and don't be afraid if you don't, there's a niche thing happening here so if you are not a nerd or geek of some kind then it's possible you may not get this one, but again, that's OK. Overall, It's a Futurama movie, not The Dark Night or something, it's above average.Watch it, enjoy it and move on with your life.Now we wait for the final film, which will decide it all.
