A waste of 90 minutes of my life

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

"Futurama: The Lost Adventure" is not really a lost adventure. It is a half-hour special based on the successful animated series. I must say, back in the day when I caught an episode occasionally, I was not too big on this show, but my humour may have moved in a direction that may have made me more appreciative to the material. I liked this short film. It took a couple minutes to get used to the style and it will probably took even longer for real fans of the series, but don't forget that this one was made from the video game, not the show. The story is basically about the gang trying to stop Farnsworth from selling Planet Express to Mom, a consequence of which would be a catastrophic scenario in which she conquers the universe. What a difference a hat makes. Funny little film and I recommend it. Also nice that they got the real voice actors from the show including Katey "Peggy Bundy" Sagal ("Sons of Anarchy)".

This Is Interesting Because It Has Never Been Done Before, The Guys Behind Futurama Decide To Make A 20 Minute Episode Out Of The 2003 Video Game.I Have To Admire Them Because Of How Hard It Would Be, It Kinda Gets Me Thinking Why They Can't Do This With Other Video Games Like "Max Payne", "Alan Wake" Or "The Darkness".Now I Found A Majority Of The Jokes Funny Especially From The First 5 Minutes "Oh No, The Ship's All Banged Up, Who Could've Done Such A Thing." And They All Turn To Bender "It Wasn't Me This Time I SWEAR It." Overall I Suggest A Viewing But Don't Expect The Quality Of The Show.

The Futurama video game was not very good, but it was distinguished by terrifically written cut scenes. At a certain point, I gave up the game and found a cheat code that allowed me to just watch the cutscenes sequentially, and I always thought they should be released as an episode.They were, but the resulting episode is hit and miss. They have taken all the cutscenes, and since many cutscenes are intros to gameplay, they show little bits of the gameplay to give you a sense of what's going on (although for some reason there are several instances where they show the end of a boss battle but not the beginning, making it feel non-sequitorish).Written by and voiced by the same people who made the series, there are some very funny bits in The Lost Adventure, and a wonderfully clever ending. But because so much of the episode is devoted to setting up gameplay, the story comes across as episodic and underdeveloped. There's about the same amount of material as you would find in a regular episode, but to fully flesh out the story for the game you would need the story sequences to be twice as long.Still, watching the game this way is a lot more fun than trying to play the game!

It's like an average episode of Futurama, only much uglier and not nearly so well-written, with one or two bits that just don't make any sense.Plus it has bits of game-play footage in it.If you've already watched every other bit of Futurama ever made and you're still aching for more, or you're just intensely curious to see what happens when you edit the cut-scenes from a game into a half-hour film, then you might as well watch this. Otherwise you can probably find a better way to spend half an hour.Maybe go for a walk or something.
