Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs Audience Reviews 3oc35

YouHeart I gave it a 7.5 out of 10
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to what it was like to watch it for the first time.
ne Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Tweekums Having really enjoyed the series I put off watching the films for a while fearing that it would not work as well in the longer movie format, after watching "Bender's Big Score" I thought I may have been mistaken as I really enjoyed that. Perhaps that got my hopes up a bit too much but I was a little disappointed with this film; that is not to say it was a bad film, just not as good as I'd hoped.While I thought the main story didn't really warrant the time spent on it there were plenty of individual events that made me laugh out loud, stand out moments for me were Amy turning up to a funeral in a dress that was bordering on indecent and the way Bender acquired an "army of the damned" off the Robot Devil. I also liked the scene where Fry discovers that his new girlfriend Colleen, voiced by the late Brittany Murphy, had several other boyfriends, being a prudish 20th Century man Fry wasn't too happy about sharing.The main plot concerns a strange spacial rift which has appeared in space; the world's top scientists (Farnsworth and Wernstrom) argue about what it is and how it should be dealt with and Nixon sends Zapp to attack it. This attack leads to Fry meeting an unusual alien and Kif having a rather unfortunate accident. When Fry returns he is attached to a strange tentacle and is keen for everybody else in the universe to get a tentacle of there own.Overall I think it was fairly enjoyable even if I don't think it was up the the high standards of the series.
Joshua Warren Well continuing where the previous movie ended, the universe now has a giant rip in it. The Planet Express team and Wornstrum finally team up to explore the anomaly. Meanwhile Fry has a new girlfriend, Amy and Kiff gets married and Bender s a robot league after having stocked Calculon. After a lot of weird events (that I wont spoil) Fry goes into the anomaly and later returns to earth taken over by a being that takes control over humans by attaching its tentacles to they're necks (I guess that's what they mean with "a billion backs"). Frankly this story was so odd and had so many twists and parallel story lines, that I'll just stop here.If you already have seen "Benders big score" don't wait with seeing this one. It wasn't as funny as the previous film, but still worth seeing for an each Futurama fan. For its awkward(you'l figure it out) but still very humorous and unexpected storyline I'll give this film a 7/10.
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 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!
fedor8 The similarity with the Simpsons movie is that 90 minutes may be too long for a cartoon - even if it's a totally unpredictable, silly one like Futurama. Fortunately, however, the Futurama movie was not misused by the producers to promote their left-wing political views, torturing the viewer with idiotic fallacies and the bad gags that are related to them. Plus, of course, there's no Lisa Simpson, which is always a good thing, and one of several reasons why the Simpsons are basically inferior to Futurama.TBWABB can be considered as an average Futurama episode, quality-wise, which is by no means saying it's bad. While it's true that the premise may be even zanier than what we usually got, a number of gags totally bomb. I certainly didn't find the polygamous Fry girlfriend funny. The secret robot society segments should have been handled much better; there was plenty of potential in that. And as with most superior episodes, there should have been more Bender and Zoidberg, because they're by far the funniest characters (the Professor being a close third).
