Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs (2008)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

To me, this movie is perfection.

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The universe has ripped open. Fry gets a girlfriend in Colleen. He moves in with her but finds out she has four other boyfriends. Amy and Kif get married in a Fonfon Rubok Ceremony. The Planet Express crew wins against Wernstrom's crew to go investigate the space rift. President Nixon ignores Wernstrom and Professor Farnsworth, and sends Zapp Brannigan to attack the space rift. Fry stowaways and crosses the rift to find a tentacled creature. The tentacles start controlling people with Fry as the Tentacle Pope. Meanwhile, Bender uncovers the League of Robots. This is a strange one for the fans. The central concept is an alien polyamorous relationship. It does meander from one story to the next but it does fit the weird Futurama world. It's always weird to have Fry date someone else. Zapp sleeping with Amy may even be weirder.

I found it pretty amusing and rather bold but then Futurama thrives on surprises. It's definitely the most disgusting Futurama episode/movie with lots of gross-out moments but I mean that in a complimentary way. I would also say that it's also the most romantic and epic but then again in a very unconventional humorous way. One of the best most darkly humored moments was Bender's secret at the end which I won't spoil for you. :) The voice acting was its usual great and the animation was fine especially with all those tentacles. I liked the extras especially the 30 minutes featurette showing the story cinematics from the Futurama video game.Rating: 7 out of 10

I cannot believe how truly awful and "un-Futurama" this movie was. Bender's Big Score, although lacking was still true to its Futurama roots/style and had a lot of funny moments. This one does not. The start is somewhat true to the style of humor the show is famous for, but thats where it all ends. The characters here are largely wasted and story makes absolutely no sense. The plot is simply absent. It seemed that I was watching David Cross's Freak Show rather than Futurama. Bender's storyline, which was the only thing holding interest--is completely wasted. Yivo, which I think is supposed to symbolize the Flying Spaghetti Monster is poorly written and developed. Where the writers could have imparted some great zingers about religion, it was utterly wasted. This one lacks depth, sharpness and wit of its episodic predecessors. True fans of Futurama are going to be sorely disappointed. Don't waste your money, rent it or watch it on Comedy Central (airs in mid-October).

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.
