UnowPriceless hyped garbage
BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
megatom64 Spoilers: I recently re-watched this movie during a re-watch of the entire series. This movie is simply a travesty. I would say since episode I there has never been a bigger disappointment in scifi. I remember when this came out Futurama had been of the air 4 years, fans like myself had rallied to get the show back on the air, and then yes finally here it was. Then I watched it, then I broke the DVD in half and burned it, which I would prefer be done to all copies of this movie.But why is this movie so horrible. It is just mind boggling stupid and insipid spewing vitriol all over the fans of the show and good writing in general. So put yourself in my place when first watch this, what do you want to see for a new Futurama? I'll tell you what I don't want to see is the characters I know and love just get S*%$ on relentlessly for 90 minutes. That is really all this movie is is just the main cast getting ripped off by "Scammer aliens" (they couldn't even give these characters a name, that is how lazy the writing is in this film). And none of this makes any sense. The movie's central plot revolves around mind-control, which is the ABSOLUTE worst plot device in existence. Know any good mind control stories? No because it is just an insipid device to have a character do something with no real motivation or true inner conflict. The scammer aliens themselves don't make any sense. They are just 3 people and yet they take over an entire planet? If I'm not mistaken there are at least 5 characters that could easily kill 3 measly aliens. I wouldn't mind if they made the scammer invincible somehow, like they regenerate or have some protective shield, but no, no thought went into making this part of the plot make any sense. Simply the scammer aliens are THE WORST CHARACTERS IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND.I would rather watch a Joffrey from Game of Thrones TV show 24 hours a day then watch these horrible creatures on screen for 90 minutes. This movie is the equivalent of making Star Wars VII about Han losing the Millennium Falcon to that little laughing monster that Jabba has. Then somehow Chewie is enslaved and mind controlled and proceeds to kill Han viciously, melts C-3P0 alive, Luke is sold into slavery, and Liegha is forced to do pole dances at the cantina. And just image that like 90% of the movie is just Jabba's little creature laughing at the audience. That is what this movie is.The writers of this show thankfully managed to make some decent seasons after this horrible piece of trash. Scammer aliens can burn in hell forever.
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.
Joshua Warren I just finished watching it, and I'm not quite sure where to start. One thing I can say is that it was way beyond my expectations for the movie continuation of my favourite cartoon series.The main plot line is that a group of scamming alien nudists (fox has weird imagination by the way) who buys Planet Express and gives Bender a virus that forces him to obey they're every wish. The scammers soon realizes that the secret for time travel lies in a binary code in a tattoo on Frys butt. (Leela: What's the secret of time travel doing on Fry's ass? Fry: It was bound to be somewhere!) Since the time portal is a one way trip, they order Bender to go back in time, then wait until the present (since he doesn't age)to give them the loot. In the meanwhile Leela falls in love with a guy called Lars, and not to spoil anything I'll just leave that there. Also I'll neither spoil anymore of this story, although it would be extremely hard to try anyway. Oh yes, Hermes loses his body and his wife leaves him for Barbados Slim, but the rest of the story you'll have to see by you're self.Now this movie is obviously about time travel, and I must confess this is the most complex and clever time paradox movie I've ever seen. Although it doesn't make a damned sense, it somehow fits together and makes an entertaining and extremely intelligent film that is sure to please an every Futurama and Sci-Fi fan. And don't forget to watch the sequel: The Beast with a Billion Backs.Bender: Hasta la vista, meatbag!
Aaron Hassard I used to think Futurama was in the shadow of The Simpsons, but now that i've seen so many of the Simpson's episodes about 20 times, Futurama is more fresh and just as much fun.It's good to see Futurama back with four movies coming out over the next year, it's hard to bring a show from the small screen to the big screen without it becoming a disaster! They normally don't fare well with critics but i like the ones i've saw! "Futurama: Benders Big Score" is a pretty decent movie, it's short so the jokes stay fresh and arn't overused, but just like "The Simpsons Movie" the plot is insane and wacky, but that's what you have to expect from shows like these!So overall it's a pretty decent flick, it's not a laugh out loud film but it's still pretty funny and worth a watch!7/10
