Beyond the tear, though, lurks a being of inconceivable...tentacularity. What will become of Earth, and indeed, our universe, when faced with the Beast with a Billion Backs?

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
DudeyMcDude I liked Bender's Big Score, but after a 2nd viewing I think most of the enjoyment was from just seeing new Futurama material... all in all it was pretty average. The Beast With a Billion Backs on the other hand had me in stitches many, many times and when it wasn't hilarious, it had such an interesting sci-fi story going on that it made up for it. The payoff was great and definitely had me geared up for the next movie. I think the overall quality of writing was much better this time compared to BBS. That one felt like three episodes stitched together with a "meh" ending, while this one never let up. There were so many classic lines and scenes I was ready to watch it again the next night.Don't listen to the negative reviews, this one is definitely worth watching.
businessgypsy W1 - Okay, we have to hit this one out of the park W2 - Why? There's so much preloaded love, we can do anything we want W3 - What if we did anything we wanted and hit it out of the park W1 - I'm listening...W3 - Okay, what's the most disgusting/disturbing animation genre to date? W1 - Hentai tentacle monster rape W2 - Yeah, tentacle monster sexual domination. A convenient way for early Japanese anime perverts to show sexual entry without showing the then prohibited male organ. It turned out twice as freaky as what the censors were trying to prevent, and spawned a whole industry of categorical tentacle sex fantasy.W1 - Makes sense, if you look at the early Japanese woodblock prints of sexual acts with Octopi there's a historical precedent.W3 - Okay, so we parody this whole overly serious genre and wring a continually referenced joke out of it.W2 - Parody? I think were past that.W1 - You don't...W3 - You aren't suggesting...W2 - Yeah. I am. Just have a big monster show up and do the nasty with the casty via tentacle love.W3 - You're insane! Tell me more.W2 - Not talking full frontal here, but we can sure steer it to sex without the victim clicking to it too quick.W1 - Matrixy! Ooh, that makes me think that the sex...W3 - Is in the neck! W2 - Precisely. We're all about head F#$%s anyway.W1 - Okay, throw in some religious overtones, a few dozen movie references, Leela's buzzkill shtick...W2 - While we're at it, let's tentacle everybody in the universe.W3 - I think we're done here.W1 - Think we could get David Cross to voice the Beast? W2 - I was texting his agent ten minutes ago.
Jackson Booth-Millard This is the second straight-to-DVD film from Matt Groening's second most (if not more) popular show Futurama, continuing from where Bender's Big Score left off. Basically space is ripping (because you remember at the end, Bender (John Di Maggio) brought back hundreds of his copies), and no-one knows what is the other side of the hole wall. Fry (Billy West), who is having a little trouble finding real love with new girlfriend Colleen O'Hallahan (Brittany Murphy) is the one who goes through, after some bickering between Prof. Farnsworth (also West) and Dr. Wernstrom (David Herman). Meanwhile, Bender has a sudden high obsession for his favourite TV star Calculon (Maurice LaMarche), he decides to become his official stalker, and also becomes a member of the once fabled League of Robots, rebelling against humans. Fry finds a new love with the creature behind the hole wall, Yivo (Scary Movie 2's David Cross), who wants everyone to be loving to each other and him/her, and the only way to do this is have everyone with his many tentacles in the back of their necks, although later you find out their actually reproductive organs (yuck). Also starring Billy West as Dr. Zoidberg, Zapp Brannigan and Richard Nixon's Head, Katey Sagal as Leela, Tress MacNeille as Bender's First Born Son and Hattie McDoogal, Maurice LaMarche as Kif, Morbo and King Kong, Phil LaMarr as Hermes Conrad, Lauren Tom as Amy Wong, Dan Castellaneta as The Robot Devil and Stephen Hawking. It may not be action packed, complicated or ensemble stories, but it is another good film worth watching. The TV series was number 26 on The 100 Greatest Cartoons. Good!
mirosuionitsaki2 Better than Bender's Big Score by a thousand. The plot goes together smoothly and the jokes are much better than those of the original Futurama episodes, as they are random and steps away from it's Simpsons-side.A hole in space that has been there for months leads Professor and the Earth military to start an expedition. When Fry is successful at going inside, he meets a giant beast that Fry loves and pushes a tentacle which ended up to be gentacles in everyone to share the love. This goes wrong when Leela figures things out and the monster becomes nice and starts.. well, this is odd. The monster is going out with Earth. It's like a war strategy except it's a dating strategy for Earth. Hilarious and very unusual for this. Haha.This is a great movie. If you have seen the previous movie and if you enjoyed Futurama, you must see this. You don't have to have seen the previous movie to get this but its better to compare. I loved it and I think you will, too. I was not disappointed.
