Futurama Movie Out November 27 on DVD - Page 3

Sun_Down · 11-24-2007, 12:49 AM

Just watched it and IMO, it suffers *some* of the same ills of a certain other FOX cartoon cancelled before it's prime. Granted, it's not nearly that crappy, but it sure doesn't live up to the real deal. Feels like they tried to fit too much in and reference too many past events.

spidey-dude · 11-24-2007, 06:35 AM

I thought it was written very well, paradoxes and all

black_dust · 11-24-2007, 06:48 AM

I liked all the little past event cameo things

I thought if it right when it first appeared because of the voice, but then once it was suspected it was easy to spot the hints.

Roughneck · 11-24-2007, 12:10 PM

but overall I'd say this was the best futurama anything I've seen in a long time because it was one that I haven't seen before....and it was jampacked with stuff packed in for the fans......I really liked spotting Fry's VW Van......and Al Gore was awesome......The cut Monte Carlo scene was hilarious.......even the math lecture feature was good.....Everybody Loves hypnotoad, was kinda boring but funny, yes I actually watched it all.....

i love futurama, i think it's the best cartoon out there to this day, better than the simpsons, south park, family guy, all of 'em.

i've been looking forward to these movies for a long, long time now.

Theres another season coming?

Roughneck · 11-24-2007, 06:08 PM

there are three more 88 minute movies coming......Each of which will be broken down into 4 22 minute episoded that will be shown on comedy network and essentially be Season 5.

terry78 · 11-24-2007, 10:27 PM

I'll probably buy the dvd, but it is on youtube right now just so you know. So if you want to catch it, hurry before they remove it.

Spider-Fan · 11-27-2007, 07:54 PM

Just watched this. While it is not quite as funny as the show was before it was cancelled, it was still a lot of fun

Mr. Credible · 11-27-2007, 10:17 PM

finally saw it...it was, um... okay.

it really wasn't as good as the show was. something was missing, and i don't know what. it was good, still better than any episode of the simpsons that i've watched in the last 6 years, but still... it was blah, for sure.

Knives122 · 11-27-2007, 10:52 PM

Saw it on the internet

It definitely could work as the series finale tying up everything and practically showing every character seen in the series that had some significant role at one point or another

As to why they made the potential last part of the series, I don't know, but I liked it none the less.

I watched it a few days ago. Aside from some nonsensical aspects of the time traveling, I thought it was pretty solid.

Obi-Ron · 12-08-2007, 11:42 AM

Now that I think about it, shouldn't one of the Frys or Benders have run into Nibbler in the cryo lab?

TNC9852002 · 12-09-2007, 12:40 AM

Well, maybe maybe not. The weirdest part of the entire thing is actually believing that Bender went back those thousands of years ago and just waited out in what supposed to be the basement of Planet Express, just to come out at just the right times...

samsnee · 12-09-2007, 07:10 PM

I thought it was pretty good. The time traveling stuff was fun, but I think it messed with the continuity a little too much. I know it *should* make sense after their explanation, but the logic is still a little tenuous.

Wolfwood · 01-09-2008, 10:21 PM

I know I'm really late, but I finally got a chance to see it and I thought it was quite good. Not the best, but pretty good. I don't know what exactly was off about the it, maybe it was just too long? Either way though, I hope sales were good enough to encourage more movies.

Obi-Ron · 01-09-2008, 10:31 PM

They made it longer so it could be broken down into episodes and broadcast on TV.

chaseter · 01-09-2008, 10:55 PM

I liked it. This movie was more of a fan service than anything. If you had only watched a few episodes, you wouldn't get half the characters or jokes in this.

He said there was a limestone cavern so maybe. He was in Roswell for a long time.
